MSVCRT.DLL errors - keep having to reinstall Visual C++ - Robotman - 09-10-2016

Hello,
I'm using mGBA on Windows 7 64bit, and almost every time I attempt to start the program, I get an error message instead that the program has crashed.  Here is the text from the latest instance:
Code:
Problem signature:
 Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
 Application Name: mGBA.exe

My solution to this right now is to run the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 x64 installer and choose the repair option.  mGBA usually works just fine after a reboot.

I've also run the system file checker (sfc.exe) and that found nothing to repair.

I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this specific problem, and if anyone can recommend a permanent solution to it.

Try running one of the nightlies to see if it's been fixed since 0.4.1 was released.

Thanks for the reply.  I just downloaded and ran the latest nightly.  It seems to have fixed the original problem I had.  I did have the emulator crash a couple of times early on with these errors:

But for the most part, it opens and runs consistently, even after a few reboots.
Thanks again.
