Ive started looking into this, and it appears there's a missing Visual C++ DLL. Anyone know the specifics of including these dll's? Can I just copy them from my Win7x64 machine, or do I need to copy them from an install to Vista? Or do I need to get them from elsewhere?
I can assemble it properly from my virtual machine. It's a bit of trial and error. It generally works across XP/Vista/7 but occasionally will not (LibreOffice is our only official app that it doesn't work in).

Microsoft.VC90.CRT.DLL
It looks like it would go in %PAL:AppDir%\Scribus
I'm checking to see if there's anything else, or if that's it.
that file holler it is in Rednotebook as well as a few of my other apps
FWIW I just copied that dll file from my Rednotebook directory over to the Sribus App folder, Scribus launched without issue (Actually first time I ever launched Scribus) Not sure if this helps or not Gord
Correction I copied teh folder with the manifest as well from Rednotebook, so it contained the manifest and the dll file...Thanks Chris guess my eyes were getting tired I knew I copied something

Refer to one of our officially released apps needing this SxS assembly: BPBible (msvcm90, msvcp90 and msvcr90), FeedNotifier (msvcm90, msvcp90 and msvcr90), RedNotebook (msvcr90 only), Task Coach (msvcp90 and msvcr90).

Ok, by adding the requested directory from Taskcoach, I've been able to get Scribus to run on my Vista VM; however, the app doesn't load its internal plugins now. I'm contacting the win32 packager to try to solve the issue.
If the plugins are binary DLLs, you may need a copy of the runtimes in that directory as well.

I don't believe that's required. Once it's loaded in an executable, it's got it and doesn't need to hunt for it. (I have no evidence upon which to base this opinion, however.)

Oddly enough, it looks like that makes it work, though. There's got to be a good reason why, but it doesn't really matter to me, so long as it works, and so far it works.
I'm verifying that the fix works on multiple OS versions prior to putting up Rev 3.
