Getting This Error Message When Installing The App

[JoshuahLind]

Greetings, I am trying to install WinMX on my Windows 11 PC. But I am having a problem while installing this app. I came across this error message "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000012d). Click Ok to close the application." I have no idea what could be the issue. Does anyone have any idea about how to solve it? Any kind of help would be highly appreciated.

Hi Joshuah,

Hae you tried the procedure for running it on win10 yet?
See here:  https://www.winmxworld.com/tutorials/winmx_win10_basics.html
Also you probably need to run the installer as administrator if  remember correctly...
Good luck!

ive found on win 11 that along with winmx.exe, channel rejoiner, and mxmoni need to run as administrator as well... basically anything "winmx" needs admin rights or it wont work right..

that said i havent actually used the installer in quite a few years as i keep a rar archive of my winmx folder that i always extract into the 32bit program files directory.. it goes all the way back to win7 32bit and has even been used on linux, but has been updated and re-archived over time..

this is actually best practice after you first install winmx because all of the settings you change and all the new filetypes that need to be added.. this is especially true if you use opennap and have usernames/passwords saved... just be careful what you pick as a username.. being too sarcastic with winmx' demand that a UNIQUE username be chosen can end with.. interesting results...

Hello there, I have no idea why this is happening to you. I recommend you check to be sure its all uninstalled then look to be sure no winmx folder exists in the program files. Re download winmx. Once you have re downloaded then right click on the installer and select run as admin. This should allow the installer to run you through the rest of the process.
