Known issues

When installing on Windows, users may see the error “Code execution cannot proceed because msvcr100.dll was not found.” This happens during the font cache initialization, and the installer will show that fc-cache.exe is running. Your options include (1) installing the 32-bit Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable runtime or (2) downgrading to BleachBit 4.4.2.

If you have this msvcr100 error, please consider filing an issue to provide more information for troubleshooting. Include this info:

Your version of Windows
Whether you are upgrading from an old version of BleachBit
If you are upgrading, the previous version of BleachBit and whether it had this error
A screenshot of the error like this one, or indicate whether it indicates that fc-cache.exe is executing.
Whether the error was resolved by installing Visual Studio 2010 (VC++ 10.0) SP1 x86
