[SOLVED] Windows 24H2 forced update Xlights doesn't start

[dfwtx]

Windows forced the upgrade to 24H2 and now xlights 2024.19 will not start now.  I have tried in compatibility mode, but still errors. Here is the error:


Faulting application name: xLights.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x67435f81

Ok it seems like the Visual Studio doesn't seem to be working that is included with the new xlights installer.  I had to reinstall  Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-22 Redistributable and QM Vamp, then it works.  So seems the VC that is supposed to be bundled with the new installer doesn't seem to work with Windows 24H2.  So reinstall the QM Vamp and VC and it will work again.
