?Modbuddy Doesn't run!

[Voyhkah]

The modbuddy complains that "Can't find one or more components. Please reinstall the application.". What does it mean and how can I fix it?

 

[croxis]

Same issue, even ran exe directly.

 

[Kobata]

I'm getting "Invalid license data. Reinstall is required." instead.

 

[croxis]

Do you own Civ V Kobata?

 

[Kobata]

Of course, how else would I have downloaded the mod tools so fast?

 

[allbad]

I'm getting the same error, "Cannot find one or more components. Please reinstall the application"

Win7 x64

 

[Voyhkah]

Win7 x64

Same here. But isn't Civ V made to run on Win7 x64?

 

[Azeral]

Same error here too, also win7 64bit.

Wait do we need to have visual studio 2010 installed?

Also aww poor Civ 5 programmers, always being pissed off by Microsoft:

Sid meier's civilization v sdk\ModBuddy\ModBuddy.pkgundef

According to the wiki:

ModBuddy is built off of the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Isolated Shell

According to MS Visual Studio 2010 Isolated Shell:

The isolated Shell redistributable package includes the .NET Framework 4 and the components of the Visual Studio SDK.

I'm taking stabs in the dark, but It appears I did not have .Net 4 Framework installed... doing so now. also, I install the x86 Visual Studio 2010 Redistributable which remove this error:

This application has failed to start because MSVCR100.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

 

[Voyhkah]

Whaaa? Did you fix it?

 

[Saldrin]

I'm running win7x64 and ModBuddy is the only mod tool that does run for me

I had VS2010 installed already.

 

[Kobata]

Hmm, if I uninstall the VS Integrated shell it switches my error to the "Can't find components" one from the invalid license data.

So it seems like their download isn't including everything they actually need to install.

 

[croxis]

I got mod budy to work by installing the VS isolated shell. The free download is here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...366-456E-ABD6-0E3E6BA83B7C&amp;displaylang=en

 

[Kobata]

You mean "Isolated" "Integrated" was the one that was causing "Invalid License data." error for me. (You linked to the right one though.)

 

[croxis]

Fixed! I'm writing lesson plans where i have to integrate other subjects. Got a little mixed up there I should check to make sure I don't have isolates lessons....

 

[civ5crazy]

running windows 7 x64 installed VS2010 works great it is really nice

 

[Voyhkah]

I fixed it using the above iunstructions and...

Oh. My. God. WOW!!

 

[Szpilman]

I'm now downloading the Isolated Shell, but just to confirm: having VS2010 Express is no good, right? You still need to install the shell redistributable from MS?

 

[Kobata]

Yes, you need either VS2010 Shell (Isolated) or a full version (Professional+) of VS2010 installed. Express doesn't register itself for that.

 

[Kruelgor]

What do I do here? I want to make sure I don't mess it up.
