[quote user="Chuck Needham"] WWT needs .NET 2.0 and DirectX 9.0c http://community.research.microsoft.com/forums/t/1085.aspx (yes you can have multiple versions on the same computer ) [/quote] YES! Got it working! However, I'm not sure the statement above is correct regarding .NET 2.0 and Vista. To get WWT working, all I did for my Vista setup was I went back to the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Research\Microsoft WorldWide Telescope folder and manually ran DXSETUP.EXE, which you're

Bummer, I've switched over to my laptop running Windows XP and again, all latest drivers, Microsoft patches, etc., and I still can't get WWT to fire up. Installation was successful, but when I try to launch the app I receive a stop message containing "WorldWide Telescope has encountered a problem and needs to close." The error report contains the following data: EventType : clr20r3 P1 : wwtexplorer.exe P2 : 2.1.6.1 P3 : 48260f9b P4 : wwtexplorer P5 : 2.1.6.1 P6 : 48260f9b P7 : dfc

Hi Chuck, my apologies but for those of us who are technically savvy PC geeks (like me), and stay on top of updating all drivers, Windows updates, etc., the following suggestions simply don't appear to address the real issue.

Bump...! Anyone else seeing this issue? A little more info about my setup: * My DirectX version is 10 (not sure why the installer tried to install 9.0c) * My .NET Framework version is 3.5 I've run through all possible Microsoft Updates, patches, etc. for everything installed on my PC. Thanks.

I get an instant "WorldWide Telescope has stopped working" message. I'm on Vista Home Edition, 4GB of RAM, Nvidia GeForce 7600 GT video card, all latest drivers, etc. More specifically I'm on an HP Pavilion Media Center m8000n TV PC. Can't imagine I don't meet the minimum requirements to run this. ;-)
