I have been having an issue with my Windows 10 computers running Kodi nightlies since the 20/06/2024 version.  20/06 runs, but every nightly since then crashes.  And the crash occurs well before a Kodi log is created.  So I went to my event log for the system, and this is what it is showing:

Any ideas as to the problem?  Note that I have two Windows 11 machines and all of the nightlies run fine on those.  This appears to affect only my Windows 10 machine.

Hmmm.  I fixed the problem.  It was a corruption in my Visual C++ Runtime files.

I fixed it by going to Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features.  I picked the most recent version of Microsoft Visual C++ (2015-2022 Redistributable).  Right click.  Choose "Change".  Choose "Repair".  Restart.

Now it works.

Don't you love Microsoft!

This wasn't Microsoft, it is the Kodi build system for addons not maintaining binary compatibility with the stable release on Windows.

While I would certainly encourage the Kodi team to maintain currency with Visual C++ runtime requirements, I don't know that I can blame them this time.

The only change that I made on my system was to refresh the Microsoft package for Visual C++ Redistributable, and that was enough for current Kodi nightlies to start working again.
