CivAssist II 30-Oct-2016

[RickFGS]

I had similar problems, also have XP, IIRC i solved the problem by (to my memory, was some way back):

- Running a registry cleaner software to clean any string not removed by CAII conventional uninstall, and other malfunctioning paths in registry (i use AML registry cleaner, but there are a lot to choose from online, be carefull with what you erase, keep the cleaning to a minimum, only what you need);
- Creating a new XP user account and cut-copying all the necessary docs to the new account (many times you´re XP account gets corrupt and you don´t even know it);
- Updating XP with SP3 not just SP2;
- Updating MFramework 1.1 to 3.5;
- Installing latest security updates in XP updates (excluding MS Malicious Removal Soft and other unecessary crap, only the KB981831...ish files);
- Getting all java and flash programs up to date, probably not necessary, but can´t harm either, since if you can install these problems without problem, it´s likely you will be able to install CAII also...

then again, i´m no expert, maybe someone can go straight to the issue....

It might be a .net framework issue, just DL all the different versions and see if one works.

I also did not get it to run on win7. Playing several games on my older XP machine.

 

[Naok]

It might be a .net framework issue, just DL all the different versions and see if one works.

I have .net 1.1 to 3.5 .... is here any more ?

 

[Moosezilla]

I too have a problem running this program, I had an under powered xt machine and now I have the power I can't easily get it to work. Straight to the issue would be a new download that works w/win7.

 

[Naok]

I installed all kind of updates for xp and for .Net framework (from 1.1 to 3.5) I found. Still not working ......

I fill I miss the best utility for Civ and I envy all of you who are playing with it ...... ... I will have to wait a bit more to get help.

I had a load of problems get viv assist working on Vista, one question, does your XP account have admin privaledges

I am not sure I can help with xp problems though

By the way - obviously a lack of progress here. I've been distracted by both real life and forum issues of late. I realistically won't even look at this for another month, but I haven't forgotten about this. Apologies, but it just takes time that is a precious resource for me at present.

howdy ainwood,

would you consider [again] releasing this as open source? i don't have the ability to program, but there are folks who may be able to work on this. perhaps thus getting away from the odd and undependable intricacies of ms.net dependencies by going to one of the less windows-centric languages, for instance ...

take care,
lee

You load up the "world map" page on CAII, right click on a map square and then click on [Properties] the info is in that new little window that comes up.

You are very welcome... It's hard to find everything that CAII offers without someone who knows the way.

Hello, i have the following problem
I wanted to try this software CivAssist 2 under Win 7 with installed and activated .Net Framework 3.5.1
After i start the install of civAssist 2 it gives me the message , that i need to install .Net Framwork 1.1.xxx..

Why is this problem occured, when i have version 3.5.1 which is better & bigger than 1.1
what to do , i need your help, peeplez

I have Win7 and I have net 1.1 and Net 4 client installed and CAII works fine. Not sure, if you can install 1.1 at this point or not. I have had Win7 for a long time and have gotten updates for net over and over.

CAII was built with Net 1 and is looking for that to be installed. Try searching this thread for any feedback on the issue.

 

[darski]

I have been looking for my copy of net1.1 so that I can share it - assuming that is not a prob for the forum. So far - I can't find it though

 

[Lee_Dailey]

howdy y'all,

while i haven't tried this, it sure looks like what is needed.
- Microsoft .NET Framework Version 1.1 Redistributable Package

take care,
lee

I would just like to say this program is great, however I can't get framework on my new laptop.
It tells me either I already have it installed, or something called IIS is causing compatibility issues, also I can't get the CivAssist to work with whatever Framework already exists on my computer.
I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I don't really know how to get the full specs of my laptop (I am a noob lol), if I knew how I would provide the full specs.

I know these specs:
8 GB RAM
750 GB Hard Drive
