I have just recieved BTS, and am getting a strange error message when I try to play.
When it finished installing, I copyed the BTS application from the BTS folder and put it on the desktop. Whenever I click on it to play, I get a message telling me that 'boost_python-vc71-mt-1_32.dll' could not be found, although that is definetly in the BTS folder. When I try to run BTS from the folder, I get the same message, however, if I start from Autoplay, or by doubleing clicking on the DVD drive on My Computer, it runs fine.
Sorry if thats a bit confusing, I'm not really sure how to explain it properly.
If it helps. my specs are:
Intel Core 2 Duo 2GHz
3GB RAM
128 Intel GMA X3100 965 Chipset
Windows Vista Service Pack 2

Has anyone else had this problem?
(BTW, I am about to download the 3.19 patch, but I am not sure if that will help)
 
Yes, I copied it straight to the desktop, but also, when I use the shortcut in the BTS folder, I get the same message.
As for Admin rights, I am not sure, it should be, as there is only my account on my laptop, then again, it is Vista, so its probably not.

EDIT: Just tried running as Administrator, I get the same message, and if I try running it in compatability mode for XP, same again.
This is the error message I get, then I get the usual 'X has stopped working' message.

copying the file to your desktop is bound to cause a lot of troubles if you want to create a shortcut there: right click on it in its install location and choose send to -> Desktop (create shortcut)
please try the following: go to the install directory, right click on the .exe and choose run as administrator

PS: your signature would look much nicer if you changed it to:
