Try opening the .exe directly through C:\SMBX (or however you have it set up). Will episodes show up as normal if you do it that way and hit Start Game?

Yep, it works. Thanks, Chad. Should I copy or cut it to my desktop? Also, should I replace the existing level editor in my desktop with the 1.3.0.1 one that actually works?

Yeah, I would recommend doing that. I wouldn't copy/cut it, though. Right-click the .exe and go to "Send To>Desktop (create shortcut)" to make sure it actually shows up as a shortcut. That should work.

Thanks again, Chad.

Also, this may be the reason that LunaDLL wasn't working properly for me; I never put the version 1.3.0.1 .exe file in the desktop as a shortcut. However, I need to re-download LunaDLL since I deleted it with some inconvenience, and at the time it was useless to have since it wasn't working.

To moderators and administrators: please don't lock this for two reasons:

-I would like to bump this thread if LunaDLL works, since I've been trying to get it to do so for approximately a month now.

-If I have anymore questions, I might as well post them here as it's useless to create a bunch of different threads in my opinion.

Sorry for the double post, but it has to be done.

Anyway, LunaDLL still doesn't work properly after I re-downloaded it. Might I ask, when I download the program and extract it to "SMBX," it asks me if I want to replace the existing .exe file for SMBX (since LunaDLL's download comes with smbx.exe). However, I did not replace the new smbx.exe with the one I already had. Should I do so?

Yes, you want to replace it. The .exe that comes with LunaDLL is a variant of 1.3.0.1 that's set up to handle LunaDLL, so you want to do that. In fact, you should probably use that as the shortcut, too.

Well damn it, we're back at the beginning. Should I of replaced it on the desktop? I did so, and then when I tried to open it, it said "The program can't start because MSVCP100.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

Now I need the SMBX 1.3.0.1 .exe again, and I would like it individually packed in a download link, I don't want to download 100+ MB from my computer when I already have everything except the right .exe.

Quite frankly, I am just done with LunaDLL, it's put too much pressure, and too much of a hassle.

It would be a huge favor if someone could link me to ONLY SMBX 1.3.0.1's .exe, nothing extra, no folders, no sounds, none of that because it's too much stuff for my computer when I already have it all. Not to mention it takes for eternity to download.

What you want to do is replace the SMBX 1.3.0.1 exe in C:\\SMBX and then create a shortcut of the new .exe to your desktop. There's nothing to replace on the desktop itself since that shouldn't be the folder you're working with.

What do you mean by "there's nothing to replace on the desktop itself since that shouldn't be the folder you're working with?" If I put the new .exe as a shortcut onto the desktop and already have the existing .exe there, it makes it to SMBX shortcut (2). Do I want this?

eh, i have terrible grammar when it comes to attempting to explain SMBX and my questions

Also, I am still anxious for someone to give me the download for SMBX 1.3.0.1's .exe (the one that comes with its normal download; NOT the one that comes with LunaDLL). I need it desperately as soon as possible.

You only want one shortcut on the desktop, and that should be created from the version of the .exe you're going to be using. Running it directly from C:\SMBX would resolve shortcut-based issues, but I don't think that'll help with MSVCP100.

I understand your frustration and apologize that I couldn't be more helpful. Here is a link to the original, LunaDLL-free 1.3.0.1 .exe file by itself. Put that in your SMBX folder, make that the only SMBX shortcut on your desktop, and you should be back in business as you were before.

Thank you for the download, and I appreciate that you tried to help, even if it wasn't successful.

Unfortunately, the downloading process has already taken three minutes and it's only one point eight mega-bites done out of seven point two.
