We need Redistributable Package to run insilicoIDE on Windows. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=766a6af7-ec73-40ff-b072-9112bab119c2 In a case that you are using Windows, if the new version did not work properly, it is strongly recommended to remove the older version of ISIDE before installing the new version. To remove the older version, just execute uninstaller in the insilicoPlatform folder. Remark that before uninstalling old version ISIDE, be sure that there is no files that you created in the insilicoPlatform folder. Because the uninstaller removes the entire folder. If you have some files that you want to keep, please copy or move them to another folder.
