error after reinstall blender

Hello,

after reinstall windows on my system and blender, the crowd render addon don´t work anyway. I get a errormessage such in the picture. I tried also a blank Blender install without any changes in user preferences, but it don´t work. Any ideas?

Ok, thats strange. I have installed Visual Studio 2015, wich is needed for another software and after that, now the addon works fine. Maybe thats interesting for other users.

Hi Gopper, yep, sorry about that, some windows systems will need to update with the C++ redistributable for VS 2015 when using the latest version of the pre-release (which is version 7 at the moment or cr_012_bl2789_7.zip as the file name for the installer).

Thanks for pointing this out :)

For anyone else that has come across not being able to enable the addon after installing it, and you're on windows, here is the official Microsoft download site.
