Try the most recent Dharma build from http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/win32/.

It may be unrelated but someone else recently had the same error and it turned out to be related to the video chipset they were using (Intel 915GMA I think). A subsequent build fixed the crash.

I _may_ have had that error awhile back. Is your DirectX enabled? Check dxdiag to make sure.

Releases after the one you tried include fixes, but I think the issue is that you're running your desktop in 16bits. XBMC requires 32bits (true color).
And you're running remotely? Is that a WHS?
Always read the Kodi online-manual, the FAQ and search the forum before posting.
Do not e-mail Kodi Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules (wiki).
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first.

- I have tried all builds including the latest... but that didn't work still the same error
- I will check the direct X whenI get home from work, thanks.
- and yes I am installing it oh WHS which is connected to my LCD in the lounge room. I was using Remote desktop to set it up when I posted as it has a keyboard and mouse.

One reason it crashes like this is when a script crashes, &/or you have hidden cmd.exe or other certain system processes running. Check the task manager and try removing all cmd.exe instances and other un-neccessary processes one by one and see if that fixes the problem.

I believe the problem is trying to do it over remote desktop.

Use RealVNC, works fine running XBMC so I don't have to sit in front of my 50".

Having the same problem. I cannot start XBMC when connected over Remote Desktop. My HTPC doesn't have a keyboard and mouse connected to it. Running Win7 and connecting from another Win7 over Remote Desktop.

Is there any solution or is it just not working?
Server: Asus Sabertooth Z77 | Intel Core i5 3.4 GHz | 16 GB DDR3 | 128 GB SSD, 82 TB (9 x 6 TB, 7 x 4 TB)

Just ran in to this issue using RDP, but I have been using XBMC remotely for sometime and never had this error.

32bit is enabled in the remote desktop client.

I have the exact same problem.

I have a full 32 bit server (running Windows Web Server 2008, Service Pack 1, Build 6001) which I connect to using Remote Desktop. When I install xbmc then try to launch it I also get the CApplication::Create() failed error.

I have tried running the Remote Desktop in /admin mode, but with no success.

I uninstalled, downloaded and installed the latest nightly Dharma build, xbmc-r35567-Dharma_rc2, but still no joy, and checked that DirectX was installed and running, it was, V10.

It seems clear that this is a Remote Desktop problem (and hence the lack of any guidance here), but I must say that in over 1 year of using my Server this is the first application that has failed to install.

I really hope someone comes up with a fix or workaround for this, as I really need xbmc on that machine.

I am having the same error trying to run xmbc on my laptop with a fresh install of windows7 32bit with all the latest updates. The system has the NVidia chipset and a Intel centrino duo processor. I am not running remote desktop.

I figured out my problem......it was the generic PNP windows 7 video display driver causing th eCApplication::Create() failed error .
I went to Nvidia and downloaded latest driver for my video adapter for windows 7 , rebooted and now XMBC works.
