Product Line
Satchwell Sigma
Environment
- SigmaX 7.0.6 on Windows 7 32-bit
- SigmaX 7.09 on Windows 10 64bit
- SigView
Cause
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 redistributable has not been installed. It appears that SigmaX requires this version to run.
Resolution
Either the Microsoft C++ 2005 is not installed, or if it is, then the Service Pack 1 (SP1) is required to be installed.
This can be checked under the Windows 'Apps and Features'.
Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86).
In some cases, Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package Security Update (x86) is required to resolve the issue. The 32bit (x86) version should be installed if installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 does not fix the problem.
