Can't start mamehub

[james3000]

I recently had to reinstall Windows XP and now I am unable to run MAMEhub. I do believe I installed all of the updates from microsoft. Are there any in particular that are specifically needed to run the program?

here's the message I got in when I ran the batch file.

Updating MAMEHub, please be patient!!!

You are probably missing the .NET framework.

Try going into the dist directory and running MAMEHub.exe and see what error you get.

I have .NET frame work v4 installed.

here's the message from mamehub.exe.

This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem.

I guess I'll try reinstalling mamehub and see what happens.

Try running Microsoft Dependency Walker on mamehub.exe and see what errors you get

I had this same issue after re-installing XP. I had forgotten to put in .net (3.5 in this case), and doing so fixed this issue.

*edit - I got a 'port not forwarded' notification - but I went back and checked my firewall exceptions, and low and behold there was an extra number in the port number for TDP. Corrected that, and good to go!
