Need help with BEE2 mod

[N0X]

So recently, I downloaded the BEE2 mod for portal 2, for the Chamber puzzle maker. I downloaded the installer for it straight from th Ben and August website. The BEE2 mod adds in a few more items, such as spikes, doors, and logic gates. And apparently, you can also change the theme of your test chamber to a different theme style, such as the portal 1 style, or the 1960s aperture innovators style. The styles change the textures of how your test chamber looks in the mod. But I just can’t figure out how to do so. I have all the new modded items, but I can’t seem to change the theme. And I’ve looked around other places for instructions, but they are just too confusing and unclear.

Bee2 doesn't use an installer. It's an external program which allows you to edit the item palette & other stuff. You probably got BeeMOD instead.

Bee2 is downloaded manually from here: https://github.com/BenVlodgi/BEE2.4/releases

Verify the game files in the portal 2 properties then follow this tutorial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypJaV3FF_tg&t both of the download links matter. the pakages download is supposed to go into the first ones pakages file. after that run bee2 in the bin file of the applications folder chose the portal 2.exe directory and if it doesn't ask emediatly then chose it when you're exporting the items and options into portal 2. (it has to know what things to change)

Edit: if sertain items dont alow you to create test chambers or they dont create in general verify the game files again and then re open bee2 to export it a second time. it tends to break over time but re installing it like that makes it work.

Ok, I did the stuff, like extracting the files and placing the packages into the thing, and when i go to click run BEE2.exe, it says: "The program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-|1-1-o.dll is missing from your computer."

Thats an issue with your computer that probably needs to be fixed. im reading about it right now and it seems to be something to deal with the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015. i beleive most games ask you to run that install script on steam. if you have a game that asks you if it can make changes to the computer click view more info and if it says installscript somewhere let it install so it can install that and let me know if that works. it also seems that you can install it by letting windows update but i would just try to let a game install it first. also not all games will install the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 some of them will install other things. for example terraria when ran for the first time requires you to install a xnb framework for it to run properly.

Are you running Windows 7? That's what happened to me when i used to have Windows 7.
It's the biggest regret of my life that i updated
