GUI disappears immediately on opening with build 1100, since build 1027

[Argonist852]

Describe the bug

When opening the gui SimulationCraft.exe build1100 it disappear immediately after one second of a black window showing it tries to open.
the windows process disappear also like it didn't started, it appears one second and disappear immediately after just like the gui.

Expected behavior

When launching the gui it remains open and can do simulations

To Reproduce

Download the build 1100, unzip it, launch the simulationcraft.exe, for me it closes directly.

Additional information

issue is present since the build 1027 and 1100.
I don't have the issue with builds older than 1026
Launched in admin, same issue.
Launched in compatibility mode, same issue.
Updated graphic drivers, same issue.
Used a different computer, same issue, so it's not juste for one computer, did it on windows 10 version 22h2 and windows 11

• If SimulationCraft is crashing, please include your dxdiag file - Instructions here -
  No errors in dxdiag, Gui don't give an error also, it just closes immediately after launch

• simc_gui.simc file or contents
  Gui doesn't launch, can't do a simulation in order to get a file.

Hey, I had the same problem and I managed to fix it.

Tried a lot of things but I think that what dit it was this :

Uninstall this (I think mine was in version 14.0.XXXX before)

Reinstall it with this one : https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe (it's a more recent version : 14.40 and I think that's what fixed the problem)

Does it work for you too ?

Hi,
Many thanks, it was indeed this, there was another open issue similar as this one but no solution to it.
Had several versions of Microsoft Visual C++ removed them all and installed the latest one, fixed the issue.
Now I can go back to do all the needed simulations for the TWW
Have a nice day!
