Makemkv 1.18.3 Win XP error message

Makemkv 1.18.3 on Windows XP 32 bit

"The procedure entry point swprintf_s could not be located in the dynamic link library msvcrt.dll" error message on first launch after install.

Same message appears on 1.18.4...."The procedure entry point swprintf_s could not be located in the dynamic link library msvcrt.dll"...Windows XP x86

Please review the Makemkv on Win XP thread for a fix for this.

Please note MakeMKV 1.18.2 works. It started tanking on 1.18.3. All 4 of my WinXP x86 boxes have this problem. I searched for the error message and tried the various solutions to no avail. I'll look over your solutions. Thank you.

(Please also note I use WinXP x86 offline only to run all my old software. I use only my Linux Mint Debian Edition 7 boxes when online.)

Since this version doesn't work (like the previous two versions) with Windows XP X86 I'll assume it has been deprecated as has been warned within the working versions. Looks like 1.18.2 is the version I'll be using. The X86 version support ought to be pulled from the download area.

No responses by the makemkv team to a purchaser of makemkv quite a while back. Not good.

gkar_of_narn, out of curiosity... did you try the fix in that Win XP thread on all four boxes, or just the one? and did 1.18.2 go on clean each time, or did you have to fiddle with msvcrt.dll (or anything else) first? cheers

All recent versions up to 1.18.2 went on clean with no fiddling. No, I didn't try the fix. I shouldn't have to. Thanks though.

right, no fiddling needed then, thats good to know... did you just do a fresh install over XP each time or just chuck 1.18.2 on top of whatever version was already there?

yep, it uninstalls whatever version is there when you install another one...been there, done that a few times...btw, version 2.0.0 didn't show the same error message like the previous ones, it just fails to run.
