I'm trying to tell someone how to install Alpine on Windows 10.
I download the zip file from alpineapp.email, unpack it into a folder,
and run the alpine program in that folder. It dies witn an error msage "vcruntime140.Dll Is Missing" which apparently means I need the Visual
C++ runtime. I downloaded and installed the Visual C++ 2015-2019 redistribtable, tried again, same error.
Any suggestions? Is this documented anywhere? TIA

Good thought, but I found the same site, installed the C runtime, and it didn't help.
Maybe it's the wrong architecture you installed it for, seems you may
need to install both the x86 version and amd64 (by ms called x64) version.

I'm reasonably sure I installed the x64 version of both, but I'll check again.
I was hoping that someone was actually using Alpine on Windows and
could tell us how to make it work. Who knows, maybe it doesn't work,
nobody's using it, so nobody's noticed.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's the x86 version that is needed and it
don't seem to be that both the 32 and 64 bit versions are bundled
together in one package as some on the net seems to think.
The alpineapp web site has separate 64 and 32 bit Windows
downloads. Nothing obscure about that.

I checked and my version of the C++ runtime is also 64 bit Tried its
"repair" option, didn't help.

I was more thinking about the vcruntime, that you may need both the 32
and 64 bit version installed.

Yup, that was it. With both versions of the C++ library, it runs.
Now the problem is that I configure my IMAP server but when it wants to log >> in, it shows me a popup with user name and password, but the password field >> is greyed out. Huh?

I messed around and found that if I put the username in the config, e.g.
imap.foo.com/user=bob@foo.com
then the user field in the popup is preloaded and greyed, but entering password works and it logs in and I can see my mail. Feels like a bug.

Yes, it feels like a bug and if you have the time and and will to report it, :>please email chappa, you find his email adress at this page: :>https://alpineapp.email/pine/pine-info/index.html (didn't want to make it too :>easy for email scrapers).
just to say sorry to have come into this thread a bit late. I am a user
of Alpine on Windows 10 (and have used Pine/Alpine since 1995).
Glad you have sorted it out.
I call Alpine from an icon which is a shortcut and have a complicated
set of parameters on the call (and it works). I do recall an issue with
the C++ runtime (started I think with version 2.25) but you have now
fixed that.
