    F-Engrave V 1.66 fails to run on Win-XP

    After installing version 1.66 I was unable to run the app. Got this error:

    C:\Program Files\F-Engrave-1.66_win\f-engrave.exe
    The application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    I also noticed there is no version number on the .exe file like the previous versions???

    I have been successfully running version 1.64 on this machine

    Well... Excuse me for saying this, but XP was outdated for a long time. I see no reason why a freeware developer of such excellent piece of software should continue support it. Perhaps it's time to get a better PC... 1.66 is a 2018 version, XP is like 17 years old so I am not surprised.

    From the F-Engrave web page:
    If the windows executable does not work right away install the “Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)”. The program I use to create the Windows executables (py2exe) has a dependency to this package.
