I just purchased a Lenovo Yoga 900 2 in 1 laptop. Basecamp 4.5.2 installed and ran initially, but when Win 10 updated the last time, Basecamp tries to start but quickly quits with no error message. A small window appears, but fades away too quickly to read. Basecamp runs fine on my Win 10 HP desktop. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Basecamp 4.5.2 with no success.
I think I would look at the video drivers and check to be certain that the driver presently installed is in fact Open GL 1.3 compatible. There have been many complaints from Win 10 users that during an upgrade Win 10 "throws away" previously installed video drivers from the computer manufacturer and then reinstalls downlevel drivers from Microsoft. It hasn't happened in my case so I have no actual first hand experience with that problem.
I run Win 10 Pro in a VirtualBox virtual machine on my iMac. The VB drivers supplied by Oracle do not meet the specs but I am able to run Basecamp in 2D mode only. You might try starting Basecamp in 2D mode. (Rats, I neglected to write down how to do that. I'll go start it up, see how its done, and then edit this)

You need the quote marks because of the spaces in the file names
/End EDIT
My Intel HD Graphics 520 shows drivers up to date in device manager and the chart shows that it is Open GL 4.4. I assume that it is backward compatible with Open GL 1.3.
Trying to open in 2D, I get virtually the same error as before:
- System
- Provider
[ Name] Application Error
I waded through this post and tried everything I could. I even tried a non-destructive re-install of windows then uninstalling BaseCamp and reinstall. I even tried legacy version 4.2.5 and it dies with a whole new set of (at least visible) errors. After research, I discovered that Lenovo customizes the intel graphics driver. When I tried to install it from Lenovo website, it said a newer version was already installed, so I installed it anyway. Still no joy. Thanks guys for the attempt to help so far.
System.Windows.Forms.ni.dll is a file having to do with .NET
When I loaded BaseCamp on my system for some reason it decided to find and download .NET Framework 3.5 even though the BaseCamp specs called for a higher level (.NET Framework 4.6). I think it did so to satisfy one of the "helper" programs included with BaseCamp. Here is a link to a Microsoft Developer Net article which explains how to find out the .NET Framework level installations existing on your machine.
Looks like all Win 10 come with at least .NET Framework 4.6 or above.

Otherwise I'd explore the idea in the link Tranquilo2 posted up...
Using the article, I determined that I have .NET Framework 4.6.01 and 3.5. I went through the Tranquilo2 post. see #8 above. Any ideas on where can I go from here? Thanks
