DarthMaul v.1/2 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Hello, I am a nOOb to the modding scene, and I am having trouble! Surprised? Anyway, I have downloaded KT and the .net program that KT needs to run( I loaded .net first per KT instructions), and when I install KT it gets to the FINISH prompt ( the last screen of KT install), KotOR Tool then fails to open and this warning/error is displayed: kotor_tool.exe - Common Language Runtime - Application has generated an exception that could not be handled - Process=id=0x394 (916), Thread=0x120(288) - CLICK OK to terminate application CLICK CANCEL to debug the application - I tried the de-bugging process but that went nowhere! I am completely lost (and more than a little frustrated! ), like I said I am a nOOb with little or no "techie" aptitude --- ANY help here would be greatly appreciated!

Det. Bart Lasiter Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 What version of the .NET Framework do you have (there's 1.0, 1.1, 2.0b, and 2.0)? A lot of applications written with one will not work with the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of applications written with one will not work with the others. Hello, jmac. First of all I'd like to thank you for responding to my question! It has been frustrating trying to get some answers, so I appreciate the help! To answer your question, I downloaded and installed .NET Framework 1.1, as this is the version specified on KT site for use with the current version of TOOL. I installed .NET 1.1 BEFORE I downloaded and installed KT (according to Fred Tetra's instructions on KT site). I also am running Intenet Explorer version 6.0 --- also one of the requirements on KT site. As far as I can tell, I have followed the steps correctly. Is it necessary to have the previous version of .NET Framework (1.0) or the newest versions to launch KT? Like I said, I have followed the steps that were laid out and still nothing but the ERROR message. Any further help would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Kitty Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I do know that the next planned release of KT is going to require the new .NET version, but the one you've got currently should work with 1.1 It wouldn't be a bad idea to install any/all of the .NETs you can get your hands on, since from what I understand some of the functions in the older versions aren't duplicated in newer versions, and having a newer version is usually better than having an older version since something compiled to run on say 1.1 will normally work on 2.0, but not the other way around. It's sort of a mess, which is in fact exactly why you're not getting a lot of feedback on your issue. The error you're having is rather on the in-depth technical side of things, and few people other than Fred probably have anything more than a wide-angle guess as to what the hell is going on. Since Fred himself is currently mostly offline with equipment failure on his machine, he's a little slower than usual about catching these things. My best advice would be to uninstall all your .NET stuff, uninstall (if you can) KT, then reboot. Then re-install your .NET stuff. starting with the oldest first and working on up to the current version -and it may be wise to reboot after each of these as well just to be sure all changes are applied. Then try installing KT again. If that doesn't work, track any and all errors you get very carefully so you can post them exactly here, and then all I can suggest is try to be patient until someone with a deeper knowledge of what's happening can get in here and try to give you better answers. Sorry I can't be more help, -Kitty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I can't be more help, -Kitty Hey Kitty, thank you for taking the time to try and answer my question! I really appreciate jmac and you for trying to help. I kind of figured it might take some time for one of the Jedi Masters (Fred, stoffe, chainz2da, etc...) to give me some hints to resolve this. It is just hard to wait patiently, especially for someone like me that is anxious to begin modding, but I know I'm not the only one! I apologize for taking so long to reply, I've been on- and -offline alot today. I will take your advice and just D/L all versions of .NET Framework and re-boot everything...

Darkkender Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 The above error has happened to me in the past after installing new versions of KT. alot of times a simple reboot does the trick. However this could very well be because your .NET package needs to be patched as well. Chainz.2da had a link to a patch/update for .NET 1.1 in one of the threads. Also it could be that the latest version is making calls to .NET 2.0 now I'm unsure. Also as a note to all. Each of the .NET installations are effectively stand alone. There are some features that were present in .NET 1.0 that are not in 1.1 same as with .NET 2.0. Each of these install to there own runtime libraries and do not overwrite the previous versions other than some shared components. Also it might be a while before we get any further clarification from Fred as he had component failures on his programming machine. If Fred sees my post in his thread about his crash we might have him up and running within a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthMaul v.1/2 Posted March 17, 2006 Author Share Posted March 17, 2006 Hello, Darkkender! I am pleased to meet you, your "Gaurdian Sabers/workbench" MOD is 1 of my favorites! I appreciate the feedback, like I said to Kitty earlier, I kind of figured it might take a while to get a solid solution( seems like these kinds of problems ALWAYS do) . I think I am just going to clear everything and re-boot ALL versions of .NET Framework and a new KT as well. However, I would still appreciate any more help you guys may have, so please keep me in mind if you hear of any similar problems or solutions, your help and consideration is ALWAYS appreciated! On a side note to you Darkkender, as I said before, I am new to this, but I had a request about your TSL Halowan Plug- In mod--- What exactly are the different MODS that are incorporated in it? It is a combination of several MODS isn't it? Can you post a thead with the actual breakdown of what MODS are incorporated in the TSL Plug- In? I know this is off-topic and is probably already in another thread, but I've had trouble finding a current breakdown anywhere so I figured, "hey, why not ask the man himself?". Thanks again, Darkkender! Try here... Link to TSL Plugin Mod thread. Just an FYI there DarthMaul you can send a Private Message (PM) to any other user by clicking on their name in one of their posts. Better than taking a thread off-topic. -RH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
