And I did that as well... BTW, I run a Synchronet Game Server and I

Wow, is it possible that the version you are trying to use is really old OR really new that it is not compatible? I think I tried 3.4.6 and it did not work with Mystic (Linux version). Try getting the one off the Mystic Wiki, I think that one is like 3.4.3 or 3.4.4. On the wiki page it mentions a Micro$oft c++ run time You probably have already taken a look at the wiki, but 
not then give it a shot and you might fix your issue...
