Thoerically, nothing link with VC8 runtime anymore (check that with "dependency walker"). Kale, can you run it on the pbcompiler executable to see if it miss some DLL ?

YES! Me too. "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is".
Many tanks to all developpers.

You guys work so hard on this fantastic language. I've made a small donation to pay for the coffee you must use whilst burning the midnight oils.
Many thanks to all involved.

4) It has a X64 version as well, so we have a direct port to 64 bits Windows without too much hassle (at least for the libraries)
Are you sure of that?
Accrding to the product comparisons I saw on Microsoft's web site the express editions can only produce x64 programs if you are using .NET
In order to compile native x64 programs you have to get at least the standard edition of Visual Studio which is $300 USD or $200 USD if you qualify for upgrade pricing (have a prior version of Visual Studio including the free express editions).

The 64 bits commandline compiler is available in the PSDK, we don't use it from the IDE.

Thanks for all the hard work, very much appreciated. Maybe though it would be a good idea to have the last few betas still available to download, just in case there is a new bug introduced to a new beta and you forgot to backup the old folder? (like the situation I have just found myself in.
).

Thank you for such an amazing language and for all your hard work, the entire PB team. I really hope for the best for this language.
..so we decided to migrate all the assembly libraries (linked list, misc etc.) on NASM. Indeed the compiler has been modified to output NASM compatible code instead of FASM.
I have not had a chance to try it yet but does this mean that TailBite is broken for 4.20 B5?

Thrilled to hear the great news about the x86 Mac version. Have my dreams finally come true?
