I installed and tried to run it and got the message "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect." There are not really any options to choose during install, so that isn't it. I tried a re-install and got the same message. I don't like debugging Windows apps, so I simply deleted it.

If the error code you got was 14001, it's simply missing some Visual C++ 2005 stuff. Happened already two of my friends when trying to run Emerald Viewer. Install the Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package and it should work: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=200B2FD9-AE1A-4A14-984D-389C36F85647&displaylang=en

Why would anyone need to install Visual C++ to run a viewer? The user isn't compiling the viewer. I use Emerald and I don't have Visual C++ in my machine. In any case, I thought that the LL viewers were written in C#, and 3rd party viewers are only the same source code with a few modifications.

You don't need to install Visual C++ 2005, you need to install the "Visual C++ 2005 redistributables" aka a bunch of DLLs that are needed to run executables created with Visual C++.

The viewer is C++; libSL is C# I though which might be where you picked that up.

It was a combination. I remember reading LL's page that explained how to compile the viewer source and I'm certain it mentioned using the 2005 version. Then when I got to libSL, it was C# for that, which was also the 2005 version at the time. So I guess they got a bit mixed up in my memory.

I re-installed to see what the message number is. The message I get (shown below) does not have any error number with it. A re-install, without removing it first, does have a Repair option, but I still got the same error after trying that.



I was a bit ticked with this install anyway, as it does not let me specify the directory I want it installed in. I'm sort of anal about that kind of stuff.

ETA: I went to the Event Viewer and this message was logged under System:

Hmmmm, my friends at least got an error code. But the error message was the same about a configuration error. So I would suggest you install the Visual C++ 2005 redistributables and give it another try.
