That's great ... download starts.

Oh my gosh. This is awesome, downloading. *tear*

Very, very excited about this one anyway, but didn't realise this would come with GED! Nice one team

Downloading now.

" LC Error messages now indicate the erroneous function itself, rather than the function last called before the error. This makes it easy to find the problem by single stepping through the given function."
sounds like I'll be having less headaches from now on... thank you
downloading.

engine_gettaskinfo works great. nice job

Does 3dgs Install Microsoft visual c++ redistributive 2008 (is that what it's called?) or was it something else I installed recently?
Because it was in my H:\ directory, where I didn't want it, at all. I installed 3dgs to H:\ArtTools\GStudio7\
The other thing I installed yesterday, I installed to the C:\ drive, so it shouldn't have installed that visual c++ in my H:\ drive, that's why I thought it was 3dgs...
If it does that, why? I believe I already had it somewhere on my C:\ drive anyways.

I didn't want to post this in the bugs forum cause I don't even know if it's 3dgs or something else...

I noticed while installing that the installer installs the redistributable with this update, although it has been installed before, AND has been installed again with the last update before this update.
A dialog, whether this already has been installed, would be nice.

That redistributable is necessary for using GED, apparently.

Yes, the redistributable is required for GED. If you already have it on your PC, it installs nothing - at least that's how it's supposed to work. It was made by Microsoft though, not by us.
