Can you find msvcrt.dll on your machine? If not get it by Googling and put it in windows/system32.

I have a fixed installer that I will be uploading shortly. Most people end up with this DLL as a result of installing some other software or other.

Hope this helps,
Mike

I've been having the same issue, and I just confirmed that I do have 
msvcrt.dll in the correct place. Anything else I might try looking for? 
Thank you!

Okay, I should've put this in the last message. My apologies to everyone 
on the list. Here's the error message I get when I try running Csound 
from the command line:

-----
E:\WINDOWS>csound
Localisation of messages is disabled, using default language.
PortMIDI real time MIDI plugin for Csound
-----

And that's when I get the pop-up window saying portaudio.dll cannot be 
found. That's then followed by this message:

-----
WARNING: could not open library 'E:\Program 
Files\Csound\plugins\rtpa.dll' (-1)
-----

Thank you!
