I think that you need to install the microsoft visual c++ 2005. Download it from here. At the time of installation, you will need to disable any antivirus software that you might be using at your computer. Also install the latest Microsoft .Net Frameworks.

Thats correct Hitman22. I was also having the same problem on my system and after installing Redistributable Package Microsoft Visual C + + 2005 SP1, it just sorted out. It installs runtime components of Visual C + + Libraries required to run applications developed in Visual C + + on a computer on which Visual C + + 2005 is not installed.

thanks for ur replys... but problem still exist :( , i have d game ,but not able to play it's like hell on earth:crybaby:

Alright, did you install the microsoft packages? If you did install it then what error are you getting, can you post it here? I remember one thing that you have to edit some files to play Assassin's Creed 2 offline, its path was - C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc - here you have to copy paste the below things:

Code:

yeah , i tired Redistributable Package Microsoft Visual C + +, it couldn't solve my problem. n i have followed d each n every step precisely while installing coz i have played this game before on d same PC. ERROR msg is "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem". i Freshly downloaded d emulator, but again , problem remains same.:

This is my Hosts file...

You can fix this issue by going into the "application/bin/debug" and deleting all files there, again go into "application/bin/release" and delete all the files there as well, then just rebuild the project via rebuild application, and hopefully that will solve the issue for you.
