Top Secret don't tell anyone Sleepyhead 0.9.8-1 is out [Admin note: testing version]

[Galactus]

That doesn't make it all that secretive you know. Once you start posting links everywhere everyone will know and the secret will be out of the bag. You can't unring the bell now.

Galacticus, why didn't you tell me before I posted.
Now I have to power up the old Delorean and the Flux Capacitor.
There goes my power bill again.

[Galactus]

Sorry buddy I thought you knew.

Hey don't waste the electricity, I'll send you over my Mr Fusion module.....

Yes, but Mac is still 0.9.6. Not complaining as it works perfectly fine for me.

SleepyHead v0.9.8-1 Testing builds
I just uploaded some Windows "Testing" builds for anyone game to help test them.

64bit and 32bit Windows versions are available, each comes with both BrokenGL and OpenGL binaries, so you don't have to go hunting for one that suits your computers graphics card.

I updated the mac ones too, which fixes a several silly mistakes.

You can find the download links here:
http://sleepfiles.com/SH/index.html?TestingVersions

Please BACK UP your SleepyHeadData folder before even attempting to upgrade...
Once you upgrade SleepyHead's data folder, you can't use it in an older version without causing corruption.

Need some help please.
I tried to do install with both Open and broken and both got the same pop-up. What do I do.



Never had that happen before. I tried reinstalling a couple of times.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have not yet loaded that. However, that error is a pretty common one, if you do a quick check on you tube you'll see a couple of fix it videos for it to add the missing dll file. I'm not sure what OS you are running so I'm not certain what exactly you need.

Seems to be a C++ error that is quite common, most software tries to install it if you don't have it but sometimes you wind up without it anyway.

The fix for C++ is downloadable from microsoft direct, I found another software package citing the same error as below, with the fix as recommended below;

The Program Can't Start Because MSVCR100.dll or MSVCR120.dll is Missing From Your Computer

If the error relates to MSVCR120.dll, instead, use the Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 x86 Redistributable, available here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/...x?id=40784.

The Explanation
The "name deleted" executable file requires specific Microsoft Visual C++ runtime libraries. Our newer installers automatically attempt to install these, if they are missing, but still, some users may end up without them. Installing these provides "name deleted" the libraries it requires to function.

Hi Galactus:
Thanks ever so much and I appreciate the help. I just remembered I had some problems last Thursday with my laptop, before this darn cold set in, so did a Sys Restore and everything seems OK now.
The old noggin' is foggy at the best of times and the cold made it even foggier.

EDIT: Mark has done an excellent job on the upgrade. Congrats to him!

[Galactus]

No problem, happy to help. Seems everyone had that damned cold. Glad you are all up and running. So how is the new software? I've been too busy (lazy) to install it myself.
