I have installed everything.
1.) Boot the Server Works fine
2.) Click on Setup.bat and run it. works fine
3.) Downloaded a missing ( dwmapi.dll ) file and dropped it in the directory with Xmlspawner Editor.
4.) Put the Zlib file in the Directory with Xmlspawner editor. & in the Runuo Directory.
also did your instructions here
1) download the TransferServer-20-vxxx.rar package.
2) Copy the scripts in the Transfer Server folder into your custom scripts area.
3) Place a copy of the transferserver.dll file in your main RunUO installation folder. If you dont already have a copy of zlib.dll in that folder, then add that as well.
4) Add the following lines to your RunUO Data/Assemblies.cfg file
Not sure what else to try

I know its probally just something dumb im doing lol
thanks Again

do you have .NET 1.1 installed?

partystuffcloseouts- 02-27-2007
I do, i had to have it for Razor. its probally just something little im overlooking im sure smile.gif

ArteGordon- 02-28-2007
what OS do you have? It should work fine under everything except Vista which I havent had a chance to test out.
You might also try running it with the -debug option and take a look at the debug.log that it produces to see where it is crashing.

Using Windows XP latest version possible., i just redownloaded Framwork 1.1 just in case. and rebooted and tried it again. didnt help smile.gif
the -debug sorry never could get this to work before if you can tell me how to input it below i will get it asap.
Here is what i tried below:
I right click the program and under properties and where it says ( SpawnEditor2.exe ) i tried the following:
SpawnEditor2.exe-debug
SpawnEditor2.exe -debug

Thank you again for your help

in the properties enter the Target as

"SpawnEditor.exe" -debug

You need to use the double quotes around the actual executable.

inputing a picture below:)
i couldnt get it to let me input the double quotes.

ArteGordon- 02-28-2007
sorry, you need to make a shortcut and then enter that into the Target field of the properties window for the shortcut.

partystuffcloseouts- 02-28-2007
Awesome that shortcut worked great!.

Here is what my shortcut looks like:
"C:\RunUO-2.0-RC1\Scripts\Customs\Custom-XmlSpawner Scripts v2.0 1.18 Spawn Editor 2\SpawnEditor2.exe" -debug

Here is what the error looked like:
Was in a file called ( debug.log ) in the same directory: i pasted its information below and Enclosed a copy of it as well.

2/28/2007 1:38:13 PM: =======================================
2/28/2007 1:38:13 PM: Starting


It doesnt really tell me anything smile.gif but then again im not sure what im looking for.

ArteGordon- 02-28-2007
it tells me how far in the startup sequence it got which means that it is crashing in the windows component forms initialization.
That also includes the map viewer tool setup. I would double check to make sure that setup.bat is installing the viewer properly.

You might also try moving that missing dll to the Windows/System32 folder

I am attaching a version of the editor with additional debugging information. Try it out and see if you get more info regarding the actual location of the crash.

partystuffcloseouts- 02-28-2007
Tried the New program. same error.
I also did a screen shot of the Dependency program error thing.
how do i find out what .dll are missing,
i found one before by double clicking on the yellow folders and it said one was missing so i downloaded it.
put it in the system32 dir but i am unable to find any others.
But i am still looking, i might accidentally stumble onto something.

did you put the .pdb file in the same folder as the spawneditor2.exe? That is what provides the additional debugging information.

Have you used the dependency walker on the spawneditor2.exe executable?
