Microsoft .NET Framework

An unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue.

If you click Quit, the application will be shut down immediately.

************** 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 guess the obvious question is: do you have "c:\program files\lucasarts\swkotor\chitin.key" on your computer?

[Darkkender]

Actually these errors are quite common TK. Alot of times it is because you need to update and patch .NET 1.1 and then download .NET 2.0 as well. The other part of it is that Kotor Tool is trying to search for the default installation directory for Kotor, once again this is caused by not properly installing .NET framework and updating it.

 

Also for those who don't know you must restart your computer after installing each .NET package seperately as well as after installing there patches, also it is best to do this after installing Kotor Tool as well.
