Thanks a lot to everyone who will send us bugs reports, this will help us to stabilize the final version on as much configurations as possible.

 

edit :

If the program returns an error about a missing dll « msvc90.dll », or something like that, you have to install the visual studio 2008 resdistribuable package corresponding to your operating system : 32 bits (x86) or 64 bits (x64).

A google search like « vc2008 redist x86″ or « vc2008 redist x64″ will return you a link to download the required package from microsoft’s website.
