i try to run raptor but i get the message: this application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

i have reinstalled the game 3 times and still get the same massage has anyone else got this problem? and if so how do i fix it

I get this error too. I've also tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it twice with the same results.It will not run. :( Any suggestions for getting this to work?

Try re-downloading the game.

Just did. I uninstalled it, then reinstalled the re-dwnloaded version, still gives the same error and refuses to work.I have Windows XP with SP3.

Strange. Unfamiliar with this issue. Try contacting GOG support.

I did. Nothing back from them yet. :(

They don't work on weekends. You'll probably get a response sometime this week.

Did you ever hear back from them? I just opened a ticket with GOG too and still no response. I'm starting to get a bit impatient...

Have you tried installing in different directory? That is, one that's not PROGRAM FILES (X86). You might be having some obscure rights problem. Make a temp directory, install there and see what happens (uninstall the existing installation first).

Artki, you're wondering if it's a Windows problem? That would make sense.

The Launcher needs an installed dotNET-Runtimepackage, which is included in WinVista and Win7, but not in WinXP. Have you installed that RunTimePackage?

Maybe another solution: Try to use another Launcher, which doesn't need dotNET:

Hi. I have the same problem in Win7 :(

I bought this game just a couple of minutes ago and had the same problem (Windows 7). Just change the directrory when you first install the game.

Do not use the default one: PROGRAM FILES (X86).

Just put it somewhere else, i put mine in some folder under D:, but anywhere should work.

Happy hunting. :)

I found this organization scheme somewhere on the internet. Make a directory called "Stuff". Organize everything in Stuff alphabetically.

I've got Raptor in "\Stuff\G\Games\Shooter\Raptor - Call of the Shadows".

It's amazing. I can actually find stuff on my HD without using the search function. ;)
