OpenRA not starting

System.MissingFieldException: Field not found: 'Tao.FreeType.FT_Glyph_Metrics.width'.

I'm not entirely sure why this has started happening. The problem occurs on the latest build (20101013)as well as an older build (20100928).
I have 3 more older builds that I'll try out again as I know they were working prior to this.

Newer builds use a version of Tao.FreeType.dll that works on 64-bit. If you're using Mono you'll need to use 'gacutil -i' on the DLL, it should be under the thirdparty/Tao folder. I'm not sure what the process is under Windows.

I'm using Windows XP SP3, probably should have mentioned that.
If you need more info, I'll post it.

On windows, this is most likely a conflict with the platform Tao, if you installed that. We ship one that actually works.

The one included in the setup is the one I'm using.

ok new version is giving me a completely different error.

OK i'm now down to the No valid techniques error (because I upgraded my catalyst to 10.9 temporarily). As soon as I've downgraded, I'll test it again.
