Couatl Not Working

[abrinson]

After installing the new update with Couatl a month or so ago, I am unable to use any sceneries using Couatl. I've got a lot of sceneries and it is a bummer not to be able to use them anymore.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Well it only started happening following the update on LAS. Is there any way I can go back to a previous version? For some reason my computer is unable to update to Win 10 and it endlessly searches for updates without actually updating anything. I don't know what to do with this anymore, it's a problem that I don't understand how to fix. I uninstalled and reinstalled the 2017 c++ without any benefit.

Well it only started happening following the update on LAS.

Only because old version of the software used an older version of the VC++ redistributables, one that wasn't corrupted/missing on your system.

Is there any way I can go back to a previous version?

No, there isn't. You want to fix the problem in your system: as more software will be updated to require the latest version of the runtimes, it will stop working too.

Windows 10 is not a requirement to fix this problem.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the 2017 c++ without any benefit.

Of course, since the VC++ redistributable which needs to be fixed, is the 2015 one.

I uninstalled 2017 and 2015, reinstalled 2015 then 2017 both x86 and x64 with no improvment. It still says that the file is missing, which it is not.

If Windows says the file is missing, than it's missing, no question about it.

"missing", might not really mean physically "missing", but not correctly registered in the registry so it's easy to be mislead into thinking the file might be ok "because it's there", but it might not be correctly registered in the registry, or might not be the right version and it's possible another application you are running is preventing the MS VC++ installers to update it.

I'm sorry but, the problem is clearly a VC++ installation issue, and doesn't really have anything to do with our products, which must rely on your system libraries being correctly installed. If you search online for this error, you can see it affects different kind of products, and it's always fixed by fixing the VC++ libraries.

Any advice on what I can do to fix the issue?

I posted a link to the known ways to fix this in my first reply. Try this link too:

For some reason I can't get any windows updates as it endlessly searches and when I try to use my upgrade to Windows 10 it won't update either.

That might be another indication that your system has a problem. Try this, found by simply typing "endless windows update loop" in Google...
