Cura will not open with Windows 8.1

Posted (edited) · Cura will not open with Windows 8.1

Just learned what a slicer does and that its mandatory to convert mods into gcode or printer does nothing. Heres my comp stats, Windows 8.1, 4GB ram,  Intel-celeron, 64bit os/x64 based processor, intel hd graphics card I think? So I have tried installing the latest and previous versions I could find of Cura  all with the same outcome as they just wont open but gives me an error of "The procedure entry point_crt_atexit could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files\Ultimaker Cura 4.10.0\Cura.exe.". Im no code writer but that looks like a main start up command? I have installed it at least 5 times running it as user then admin then creating its own file location for the heck of it, did a compatibility run with an install and lastley updated what the comp told me it had updates for which were several as just knocked the dust off this when I bought the printer and originally it failed to download before I updated everything so now at least I have it. But that's my extent and I hope someone out here knows a simple fix. Thanks in advance and there will be lulls in me answering back due to work and what not but i should touch back nightly. 
 

*Update*

My PC had all of the C++ programs still installed so I deleted all of them then installed the previous version of Cura and used it to install the 2015 C++ within its program and success! I like older software with bugs worked out so I’m on v.4.9 for now and also just beginning the world of 3D.

    It sounds like the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime libs are not (properly) installed. But they come with the Cura installer, so they should be.

    I see the new Microsoft Visual C++ 2015  14.0 in my programs but there's also the other variants of it from 2005-2010 64's/86's. Do the others need to be deleted for it to work correctly so theres no conflicts?

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
