Install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019. Download either
32-bit (x86) or
64-bit (x64) installer depending on your processor type.

"The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000001d). Click on OK to terminate the application."
catoolRT versions between 14.6 and 15.12 required a CPU that supports SSE2 processor extensions. catoolRT 32-bit versions between 16.3 and 20.9 did
not have this requirement. Since catoolRT 32-bit version 20.12 it again requires an SSE2 capable processor. Contact support@xarin.com if this is an issue for you.
"catoolRT32.exe is not a valid Win32 application"
You are most likely trying to run catoolRT in Windows XP or earlier.
The minimum suported operating system is Windows 7. The last version of
catoolRT to support Windows XP was 14.3
What happened to separate 32 and 64-bit versions of catoolRT?
As of version 16.3 there is a single installer for catoolRT. On a 32-bit version of Windows this
will install a 32-bit version that is compatible with SSE processors. On a 64-bit version of Windows
this will install a 64-bit version. All 64-bit processors include SSE2 support. If you had previously
installed the 32-bit version of catoolRT on a 64-bit version of Windows this will be removed and replaced with the
64-bit version of catoolRT.
