Config data wipeout on install

[chasef]

Sub, this should be a quickie.

Is anything necessarily wrong if my config app settings all reverted on this new install?

Also, for some reason, I got a crash at some point during the install...I think it might've been when the installer called the config app, but I can't swear to it. Just letting you know.

Did you see the bit in the instructions about the C++ redistributable??? That normally fixes the install error (normally on psiparser.ax)

[chasef]

Yeah, I already had that in.

[psycik]

That's about the limit of my support then

Are you saying all your customised config options went out the the window and you're left with a basic install??

Did you have them backed up, and what happens if you drop them back into your gbpvr directory?

[chasef]

Yes, that's what I'm saying. I'm not bothered by the fact that I had to reset everything. I just want to know if it's indicative of a larger problem. I had them backed up but I just went ahead and reset just in case.

No - dont do that. You can only put a config.xml file back onto the version it came from.

Best to just set the settings again.

I swear I had this problem twice when I was installing from the desktop. When the config came up after the install it would always crash.
