   - Do full uninstall of the x86/x64 version (including user data)
-  - Check installation directory C:\Program Files\HippoEDIT if something has been left. If yes, note what is left, delete folder C:\Program Files (x86)\HippoEDIT (or C:\Program Files\HippoEDIT for x64 or on x86 system) and install x86/x64 in **Full** configuration.
+  - Check [[options:installation-directory|Installation Directory]], if something has been left. If yes, note what is left (and send this info to supportbox), delete [[options:installation-directory|Installation Directory]].
-  - If after that x86/x64 still crashes, try to delete plugins dlls one by one -> C:\Program Files\HippoEDIT\plugins
+  - Install HippoEDIT x86/x64 in the **Full** configuration: if you install on top of an older version, and the configuration of the installer has been changed, you can get //Custom// configuration automatically selected, and not all modules will be installed.
-  - If even after deleting all plugins it crashes on start up, download [[http://www.dependencywalker.com/|Dependency Walker]]  and open C:\Program Files\HippoEDIT\hippoedit.exe with it and check if some required dlls are missing.
+  - If after fresh installation the application still crashes, try to delete plugins DLLs one by one in %[[options:installation-directory|Installation Directory]]%\plugins
+  - If even after deleting all plugins the application still crashes on startup, download [[http://www.dependencywalker.com/|Dependency Walker]] and open %[[options:installation-directory|Installation Directory]]%\hippoedit.exe with it and check if some required DLLs are missing. //Dependency walker// will show missing dependencies in the log.
+===== HippoEDIT 2.00 =====
+If you tried HippoEDIT 2.00, you need another set of redistributables, as it builds with Visual Studio 2019.
+They can be found on [[https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/|Microsoft site]] - take the version passing to your HippoEDIT architecture (x86 or x64).
