Hyperspin MSVBVM60.DLL error

[playerzero]

I am getting every time I try to run Hyperspin.exe or HyperHQ.exe.

 

"C:\Users\Home\Desktop\Hyperspin\MSVBVM60.DLL is either ot designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support."

 

I am running Windows 7 64-bit.

 

This appears to be a VBruntime error, so I have made sure the VB runtimes are up to date, and I've also put the relevant dll file in the Hyperspin directory. I've also run sfc but it reports no errors.

 

Please help!

Maybe not help exactly, but suggestions.

 

I'm looking in my Hyperspin folders (both v1.3.2 and v1.3.3) and am not seeing a dll in the root of the folder. Both HyperSpin and HyperHQ start without this file in the HyperSpin folder so you may want to remove it from yours.

 

Questions: 1.)Where did you get your HyperSpin files from? 2.)If you got your HyperSpin files from here, I presume you just unzipped them and attempted to execute HyperSpin and/or HyperHQ or did you update them somehow first? 3.)did it start prompting for Visual Basic Runtimes or did you install these preemptively?

 

If you downloaded your HyperSpin install files from this site, you may want to try again to a different folder, clean install. Then try starting the HS executables.

 

If after executing HyperSpin or HyperHQ, it asks for these runtimes, get the install directly from Microsoft site. Many sites offer loose DLLs, but it is always safer to install from the Microsoft install. Install as "administrator" (right mouse click on the runtime file, select "Run as Administrator"). Since you are running an x64 OS, you may have to install both the x86 and x64 versions of certain runtimes. You may also want your HyperSpin folder in the root of the drive. Command lines can only be so long and with your folder on the Desktop, you are already 4+ folders deep. Most of us put HS on separate hard drives, mostly because of space but also because Windows OS doesn't like programs updating files in certain folders and can cause problems.
