Error 998

[kevinvr]

Hi There,
I have just downloaded "colobot-gold-0.1.9-alpha-win-installer" and installed it. 
Then it started and gave me the following error:

LoadLibrary failed with error 998:Invalid access to memory location.
I have a HP Probook with windows 10(64bit)

I could be doing something wrong.  
I am now downloading the "colobot-gold-0.1.9-alpha-win64" and will try that to see if that works better.

OK, I downloaded "colobot-gold-0.1.9-alpha-win64" and ran it and also got the " LoadLibrary failed with error 998:Invalid access to memory location" error.

Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

What exactly model of HP ProBook is that? And what is your graphic card and drivers? Windows 10 with generic graphic drivers have some strange problems with OpenGL applications.

I'm not an expert at all, but that line "PCR7 Configuration Elevation Required to View" usually means you need admin access to install something.

Thanks Crassius. I always right click and choose "Run as Administrator" when installing.

Do you think I need to do something else?
Any help or advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

at this point, I'm lost - try the guys doing the developing to see if anyone else is getting that

1. Update your AMD graphics drivers to the newest version.
2. Turn off all Antiviruses and similar software and see if it works. They may be blocking some piece of DLL for some reason.

Thanks for the help. I did try that. I have the latest AMD Drivers, turned off windows defender, and shut down all online stuff, but I still get the same error.
I will wait for further advice from the programmers as you suggest.

Thanks so much for the willingness to help anyway!
Have a great day!

My advice(an advice from a like-to-coder) :Maybe check out the site http://www.kernel.org. I think you can get a dll called kernel32.dll, needed for some programs and might help.
EDIT:I checked the site out myself and it was for linux, strange that a windows PC had a crash message, that it failed to link to kernel32.dll.

Thanks to everyone for being so willing to help.

I found the answer on Steam:

There was some old clutter in my registry from old AMD drivers and DDU cleaned it out. (Well that is what I am assuming   )
I downloaded "colobot-gold-0.1.9-alpha-win-installer" and it started up showing me the 15th Anniversary Screen, Yay!!!.


Thanks again everyone!
Have a great week!

Windows have different kernel than Linux, site with Linux kernel's source have nothing to do with kernel32.dll.
