My notebook is quite new (about a half year old), I'm running Windows XP SP3 and of course have updated it with the lastest ATI drivers (as mentioned Stellarium 0.10.2 works now).After this error message I've installed the latest updates for VC2005++ and VC2008++ (msvcredist sp1), but no success.One strange thing is that this 0.10.3 prerelease is working on my older desktop under Windows 2000, but not on the new notebook with Windows XP-SP3.
So before you release this beta as official Stellarium 0.10.3 I really would suggest to solve this problem, otherwise you can be sure to get hundreds of complaints about this new release ...

Sorry the patch doesn't work for you. It works for most. As I said previously it may not work on all installations. It is only meant to give a preview of what is coming. It basically turns the program into build 4875 (The readme says 5057 but that version had some other problems. I just installed a clean 0.10.2 Stellarium onto a removable disk on my computer, Pentium 4, 750 MB RAM, SiS inbuilt video. running XP SP3.
Note: This is not a beta version and will not be released as such! Neither is it official. It is only a preview of what is coming.
I down loaded
www.iceinspace.com.au/uploads/4747.zip Unzipped it into the new 0.10.2 installation. and it ran correctly using my existing config.ini file. If you want the telescope drivers to work the subfolder "servers" needs to be placed in the user area where your config.ini file is stored.
