Hi,

I downloaded the english version and installed it but it throws an exception when I try to run it :(

Orge.log file:
16:37:12: An exception has been thrown!-----------------------------------Details:-----------------------------------Error #: 8Function: FileSystemArchive::changeDirectoryDescription: Cannot open requested directory Assets\NL/Menus. File: ..\src\OgreFileSystem.cppLine: 141Stack unwinding: <<beginning of stack>>


I have DirectX 9 installed already and VS2005.

All I did was install and run, let me know if you need any more info about my system or anything.

You probably tried to run the .EXE, but you should run the shortcut. The same .EXE is used for several versions and the shortcut gives it the right instructions for this version (several menu options are different for the version for the stand at out clients place).

Hi,

How silly of me to try and run the exe :P

Now that it runs I have to say I'm very impressed, it's a very fun game :)

Keep up the good work!

^this is not a shameless plug , I swear !

I'm actually quite ashamed of it , thank you.

But I do really get the error message .. I suppose a screenshot is proof enough of that .. .
Wow, that's weird, I have not seen that one befor. That part installs some DLL's from Windows, that was not made by us, but by Microsoft. What version of Windows are you running there?

same error here, i am using windows xp pro, w/o SP

I'm running xp pro without sp2 as well . . .

I'm the guy who posted anonymously , by the way - I thought it might be good if I registered !

It looks like the error was caused by visual c++ ?
My best guess is that you don't have Windows Installer 3.0 (or higher) on your computer, which is required for the Visual C++ Redistributable to install correctly.

I recommend upgrading to SP2 (which includes WI 3.0), or upgrade Windows Installer separately by downloading it from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=5FBC5470-B259-4733-A914-A956122E08E8&displaylang=en
Looks great. Cool graphics with beautiful theme.
PS: Sorry for my english :)
