My AVG is reporting that the AW_launcher is infected with a virus for the 6.21 version :/ is this a known issue? because it hasnt had any problems up until now.

[AcidWeb]

False positive.

[AcidWeb]

All packages updated.

Completely rewritten launcher in other technology so it is not detected as virus anymore.

I had McAfee go off on v5 just a little while ago.  Been using it for the last month or two with no problems. 

Went to re-download and found the new version and these posts over here.  Thanks for taken care of it before I knew it was an issue.

First, let me say that I think this is a fantastic idea; a simple way to run Aurora packaged easily. Good stuff.

However, I'm having some issues and hoping someone can help. I unpacked the wrapper per the instructions, I am launching Aurora using the file "AW_Aurora.exe." When I create a game, I get ERROR 3265 was generated by DAO.Fields Item not found in this collection. It seems to only occur when I choose a "Conventional" start. If I acknowledge the error, it continues with game generation but a few days into a game it has massive errors. I appreciate any assistance you can provide. Thanks!

Edit: Issue was caused because for conventional starts one must check the box for "No Missiles Bases for Conventional Start"

Well I rewritten entire wrapper once more.

Additionally made full installers.

Today I experimented a little with fixing color schemes after closing Aurora.
Sadly there is no reliable way to force reload them from command line level.

Aren't these values stored in the registry? Read the registry on load, and write back the colors on exit.

A) Aurora never changes values there.
B) Even if - In this case editing them is not enough.

It doesn't change them, but it might be enough to jumpstart it?

No. On Win7/8 you need to reload entire theme file.
And automating that to work for everybody is... problematic.

On Win7 you could just restart DWM service. On Win 8 is not longer possible.

Joy.
