KotOR Tool Start Up Error

[MightyAvalanche]

Hello! I'm new to this forum and started with the "stickies" for modding. I downloaded the KotOR Tool (Version 1.0.1728.20772 Released on 9-24-2004).

 

When I start the program, however, I get the following error message (ready?):

 

See the end of this message for details on invoking

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************

To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this

application or machine (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 machine

rather than being handled by this dialog.

I have Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 installed (even installed the Service Pack for the silly thing). I don't know if this has an affect on things, but my HD letter is F. Does the KotOR tool search drive C by default? If so, could this be changed? Or did I just miss something completely?

 

Post pack if you need anymore information pertinent to solving this.

 

Thanks for your help in advance.

er...try re-installing it. Make sure all the paths are correct. *walks off shuddering*

 

P.S. Welcome to the forum!

[MightyAvalanche]

uh...reinstalling what?

Well I have it on C, could be why, I honestly don't know, you should try PMing Fred Tetra.

 

And I must say, to read the stickies first, and to provide so much information on your problem (rather than saying "help me my kotor tool is broekn how do I fix it?!"), you've definitely got my respect, and most likely Prime's as well.

Thanks! More than likely that is what I'll do after tomorrow. I figure I'm posting on the weekend, and at the time I posted there were only about 50 viewings of my post with only 3 (now 4) responses (two of them mine). I might see if there is something I can tinker around with until then.
