Kyp [LDEV] Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Archaic Launcher, I'd bet that's the issue. [attachment=908:LaunchNet7.zip] Unzip this and install the .exe by copying over the identically named .exe in our folder where the launcher shortcut points to. Generally [b]C:\Program Files\Net-7\bin\LaunchNet7.exe[/b] but it depends on how you installed everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyp [LDEV] Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Open the black box back up, type: netstat -ao This will run a list of all outbound connections on your PC (don't have the launcher running at the time) Look for one in the "Foreign Address" column that ends with :443 Longshot but the port could be bound up and in use.

[/quote] --- Echoing from my experiences creating a new installer for this game which hasn't been released yet, because UAC (if enabled) prevents changes made programmatically to the registry, to the Program Files directories, and the Windows directory to resist malicious attack, or at least I'd assume that's the reason, but that wasn't clarified in black and white with the MS documentation nor anywhere else that I can find. Does that help? I rarely echo things from the internet unless I have personal experience, the internet is an inexact thing. *edit1* Looks like someone wrote a wikipedia article on it since I wrote this but just to share: [quote name='Wikipedia User Account Control'] [font="sans-serif"][size="2"] [b]Tasks that trigger a UAC prompt[/b] Tasks that require administrator privileges will trigger a UAC prompt (if UAC is enabled); they are typically marked by a security shield icon with the 4 colors of the Windows logo (in Vista and Windows Server 2008) or with two panels yellow and two blue (Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2). In the case of executable files, the icon will have a security shield overlay. Ed Bott's [i]Windows Vista Inside Out[/i] lists the following tasks which require administrator privileges:[sup][url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control#cite_note-5"][6][/url][/sup] [list][*]Running an Application as an Administrator[*]Changes to system-wide settings or to files in %SystemRoot% or %ProgramFiles%[*]Installing and uninstalling applications[*]Installing device drivers[*]Installing ActiveX controls[*]Changing settings for Windows Firewall[*]Changing UAC settings[*]Configuring Windows Update[*]Adding or removing user accounts[*]Changing a user’s account type[*]Configuring Parental Controls[*]Running Task Scheduler[*]Restoring backed-up system files[*]Viewing or changing another user’s folders and files[*]Running Disk Defragmenter [/quote][/list] and definitely simplified for NSIS since I wrote it (took a bunch of code then): [url="http://nsis.sourceforge.net/UAC_plug-in"]NSIS - Plug in for UAC[/url] [/size][/font] In theory though this is what is contained by that config file: [code] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <configSections> <sectionGroup name="userSettings" type="System.Configuration.UserSettingsGroup, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" > <section name="LaunchNet7.Properties.Settings" type="System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" allowExeDefinition="MachineToLocalUser" requirePermission="false" /> </sectionGroup> </configSections> <system.net> <defaultProxy enabled="false"> <proxy/> <bypasslist/> <module/> </defaultProxy> </system.net> </configuration> [/code] Without it, the Launcher should crash on startup saying something along the lines of Configuration failed to initialize. Its a necessary file (or should be, unless someone has recently changed the launcher) Kyp Edited May 7, 2011 by Kyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
