The Bricklayer program is a Windows app written in Microsoft Visual C++ 2008.  To be able to run it on your PC you will need to have the DotNet 3.5 SP1 or later installed and the C++ 2008 runtime dlls installed.  You may need to download these from the Microsoft web site. The links are Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and you will need to have the 32bit C++ Visual Studio 2008 runtime dlls installed. vcredist_x86.exe File Size:4.3 MB.   They can be installed from the Microsoft web site at Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package MFC Security Update (x86)

.  The .NET Framework is a big download so you do not want to download it again if it is already installed. If you are using Windows 7 or later you should already have the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 installed. The x86 Redistributable runtime package is only a small download and most people are likely to need to install it.

If you can not get Bricklayer to run on Windows 8 or 8.1 have a look at this web page Installing .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 8/8.1

Bricklayer will run on Windows computers with both 64 bit (x64) and 32 bit (x86) processors.

Bricklayer has been updated in May 2015, more brick styles have been added and it is now possible to pan the screen up and down and left and right.
