Scenario Editor

[Michael Slaunwhite]

Ok found a .NET that seems to work better.

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=21

That one doesn't want to install either though since I have a newer version of .NET, version 4.

I'm not sure if that's the reason, but I'm getting Uanhandled Exception errors in the editor.

Hi.

I finished installing version 4 of Netframework as well, and like you I'm getting the same Unhandled Exception.

Oh well, I was looking forward to using this program.

Later!

[Michael Slaunwhite]

I just checked to make sure that (win 7) the Netframework 4.0 is active, and the previous version is disabled (system services). Hmmmm, LP, can you check your services, and see if your Net Framework 4 is enabled, and the previous version is disabled...if you can or willing could you let me know please. This is very peculiar.

Cheerio!

Here's my error when trying to open a scenario:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

[Michael Slaunwhite]

have you an error message ?

Hi.

Just the "Unhandled Exception".

Hmmmm, Okay I'm going to install VMware, install a fresh copy of Windows XP, and Windows 7, and I'm going to try to narrow this thing down. Sometimes taking the long way around can save time.

I'll let you know what I come up with, if anything.

Cheers...

Seems very strange, this may be a bug in the dotnetbar component, but I'm not experiment that.

Can you try to replace the exe by this one : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QHJR58NM and retry

pretty hard to do when Mega Upload keeps giving me this...

"The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

Time for you to get a FTP account.

later!

[Michael Slaunwhite]

Hi.

Nope, same problem. Tell me, where exactly is your program to be installed?

Later.

[Michael Slaunwhite]

I'm not a programmer here so I have no idea if this could be causing the errors, but it sure looks like it's looking for the editor .exe, and it's just not finding it.

Just Weird...

The software doesn't care where he is installed. You can place it where you want, and avoid program files which can be troublesome because of special permission of this directory.

You should have 3 files in the directory :
DevComponents.DotNetBar2.dll
Gettysburg - Scenario Editor.exe
Gettysburg - Scenario Editor.exe.config

the JIT don't give you a stack trace in the details ?
