Vital crashing on launch
Fl studio crashes when the plugin is launched, standalone version also crashes

Os? Try updating to the 1.5.4 version and see if it works

On Windows 8.1 x64, getting crashes with versions 1.5.1 and 1.5.3; Standalone, VST and VST3. Tried with REAPER v6.63 as well as some older versions of Ableton Live and FL Studio. Crashes happen in REAPER and Live, FL Studio doesn’t load the plugin.

The Visual C++ Redistributable that apparently was in 1.5.3 package was installed.

In all cases:
Fault Module Name: ucrtbase.DLL
Fault Module Version: 10.0.10240.16390
Fault Module Timestamp: 55a5b718

If you’re on Windows can you try version 1.5.5 (https://account.vital.audio/) and see if that works for you?

No success with 1.5.5 either.

Based on error reports, I would assume that the problem is related to my Windows 8.1 -based DAW computer having too old version of “ucrtbase.dll” file.

# Universal CRT deployment

From Visual Studio .NET through Visual Studio 2013, each major release of the C++ compiler and tools has included a new, standalone version of the Microsoft C Runtime (CRT) library. These standalone versions of the CRT were independent from, and to various degrees, incompatible with each other. For example, the CRT library used by Visual Studio 2012 was version 11, named msvcr110.dll, and the CRT used by Visual Studio 2013 was version 12, named msvcr120.dll. Beginning in Visual Studio 2015, it's no longer the case. Visual Studio 2015 and later versions of Visual Studio all use one Universal CRT.

The Universal CRT (UCRT) is a Microsoft Windows operating system component. It's included as part of the operating system in Windows 10 or later, and Windows Server 2016 or later. The UCRT is available by using Windows Update on older operating systems that are still in extended support. Local deployment of the Universal CRT is supported, with some restrictions.

## Central deployment

The preferred method to centrally install the Universal CRT is to use Microsoft Windows Update. The Universal CRT is a Recommended update for all supported Microsoft Windows operating systems, so by default, most machines install it as part of the regular update process. The initial release of the Universal CRT was [KB2999226](https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2999226). A later update with various bug fixes was made in [KB3118401](https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3118401), and there have been more updates with further bug fixes and new features. For more recent updates, search [`support.microsoft.com`](https://support.microsoft.com) for "Universal C Runtime" or "Universal CRT".

Not all Microsoft Windows computers regularly install updates by use of Windows Update, and some may not install all Recommended updates. To support the use of applications built by using the Visual Studio 2015 and later C++ toolsets on those machines, there are Universal CRT Redistributable files available for offline distribution. Those redistributable files may be downloaded from one of the KB links above. The Universal CRT Redistributable requires that the machine has been updated to the current service pack. So, for example, the redistributable for Windows 7 will only install onto Windows 7 SP1, not Windows 7 RTM.

The Universal CRT is a fundamental dependency of the C++ libraries. The Visual C++ Redistributable (VCRedist) installs the initial version of the Universal CRT (version 10.0.10240) on machines that don't already have one installed. This version is sufficient to satisfy the C++ library dependencies. If your application depends on a more recent version of the Universal CRT, you must use Windows Update to bring your machine fully up to date. Or, install that version of the UCRT explicitly. It's best to install the Universal C Runtime by using Windows Update or an MSU before you install the VCRedist. This installation order can help avoid multiple required reboots.

There are two packages available for download from Microsoft:

KB2999226 containing ucrtbase v10.0.10240.16390 (date modified 2015-08-22)
KB3118401 containing ucrtbase v10.0.10586.9 (date modified 2015-11-19)

The latter is apparently the latest Universal C Runtime available for Windows 7 and 8, described as being based on that in Windows 10.0.14393 (Windows 10 version 1607).

I installed KB3118401, saw ucrtbase.dll updated to 10.0.10586.9, but it gives similar errors:

…and so on.

For what it’s worth, Vital 1.0.8 VST2, VST3 and standalone work on this setup (Windows 8.1 x64, ucrtbase.dll version 10.0.10586.9).
