0.0 - it runs on VB6. :-)

You can get .NET from the microsoft site - simply google for microsoft & .net.

Haven't a clue - haven't heard of this one before.  Usually the problem is missing libraries after the install. Which OS are you on?  (XP/Vista/7) - if it's one of the "modern" ones then you might not have the correct permissions - there are some other threads that talk about this.

That's weird - I don't recall XP ever giving people problems like that (unless there's something funny going on with 64-bit).

*DING*  Wait - are you trying to re-install 4.8 over 4.7, or is this a clean install?  Once you've done the first install, you almost never need to re-install - the update procedure is to simply drop in the new .exe and .mdb from the zip file.  If it's a clean install, the only thing I can think of to suggest is trying to clean Aurora off the machine as much as possible (see if it shows up in the remove software stuff, and delete the download), then go through the entire installation process again.

STEVE - ROFL!!!

If your running 64 bit, one thing you may want to do is turn off your anti-virus for the install.

I run Vista 64 and Kapersky AV, and the Kapersky does NOT like the VB components during install. It doesnt give you any warnings, but it does fail the installation with a "serious error" warning and then deletes the temp files.

You may want to try that and see what happens. :)

I'm sorry for hijacking this thread, but there's no other way for me to explain my problem since I can't create a new thread...

When I start Aurora, I hit 'New' on the first screen as the tutorial instructs, however instead of a larger window that I'm supposed to get, I get the exact same window again, but with the 'local system' options blanked... What am I supposed to do?

If I just enter a new game name in this second screen, and hit New again, I get "Error 3265 was generated by DAO.Fields - Items not found in this collection".

Yes, my decimal character is set as '.' and I'm running as an administrator on WIndows 7 64 bit.

Thanks for an yhelp, and sorry again for using this thread.

It sounds like you have an installation problem and the database and executable don't match. After installing, did you unzip AuroraUpdate491 into the installation directory? if you are not sure, uninstall and re-install and please make sure you follow every step of the install instructions.

Please read the FAQ forum.  Many of the questions (such as this one) are answered there in the "Getting Aurora to run" thread.  Please read the "where should I post" FAQ as well.
