************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

It does say it all. You need to unzip the AssetsChecker files into a real folder. You can't run it from the zip file as it is unable to find the data file that has all the information it is supposed to check.
 
Mkaay look, ill post EXACTLY what I do and what pops up. You can tell me if I somehow mes up.

1) Clicked AlanH's link on first page.
2) Pressed OK when it asks me: Open with PKZIP for Windows (default)
3)It comes up with:

CVGameCoreDLL.dll <-- Civ4/Warlords/Assets folder apparently
Assets <--Civ4/Assets folder apparently
CvGameCoreDLL.dll
Warlords
readme.rtf
dll_structure.jpg
Assets
Civ4

4) Right clicked the CvGameCoreDLL.dll (the 2nd one in Civ4/Assets folder...) and copied
5)Opened My Computer
6)Double clicked Local Disk
7)Double clicked Program Files
8)Double clicked Fraxis Games
9)Double clicked Sid Meier's Civilization 4
10)Right clicked Assets clicked paste
11) It says:

The folder already contains a folder named 'Civ4'.

If the files in the existing folder have the same name as files in the folder you are moving or copying, they will be replaced. Do you still want to move or copy the folder?
 
We dealt with the .dll stage already. I hope you said "Yes" to the above question.

Denniz is the HoF expert, and he is trying to help you to get the AssetsChecker to work.

Correct. You have to unzip the AssetSChecker.exe and the AssetsCheckerData.dat file into the same folder before you can run it.
 
Side bar to Denniz...would the assets checker help me to identify why after a Vista re-install I seem to have lost admin privileges?

Not really. I would guess reinstalling the OS might revert somethings to their original setting. Just do the vista fixes again.

Send the results file to hof.civfanatics@gmail.com. I'll take a look. You might have a bad install.
 
Sent, for the record, I have no idea if this has anything to do with the problem but my CD's are switched. The one that says install is used to play, and the one that says play is used to install (well, I guess both were used to install...)

Mine are the same way, that is not it.

Do you run windows update? There appears to be either a bad install or your system DLLs are producing a different md5 checksum value.

I would run windows update (on Start menu) to make sure everything is up-to-date. In your have never done it you might need to run it more than once. Make sure you reboot. After that try the asset check again.

If it is still showing errors, then I would uninstall civ4, delete Civ4 folder under program files folder, and then re-install and repatch. You will have to put the DLL file you download earlier into the assets again. Make sure you run the patch manually rather then thru the in-game advanced option menu. It should be in the patch folder under my games' civ4 directory. Otherwise download it from CFC.
 
Hurrah! I have it!

Thank you to both of you, help is GREATLY appreciated, you did a great job being professiona andl civil and not flaming me for being computer-newbie-ish!

Thanks again!
 
Well done! :goodjob:

Care to tell us what you did that finally fixed it?
 
Well, i'm not 100% sure. Earlier I had uninstalled/installed the game and then I got the fix for the HoF checker and I had all of those errors. I ran windows update and it had like 2 updates so I downloaded them. I restarted my computer and ran the HoF checker and everything was fine.
 
If by .NET updates Denniz means the Framework (or whatever they are called) updates that still won't update (install always fails) on my XP box (the one I don't play civ on) ... maybe those are the updates that Iam downloaded and maybe that did the trick?

As far as I know, the .NET framework is only relevant to getting the AssetChecker going. I don't think it's used by the actual Civ4 software, or the HoF Mod. I suppose the .NET updates *could* include some extra widget that affects the rest of Windows, but it seems unlikely.
 
Did update DirectX, might have done the trick since that seemed very intertwined with new Civ4 patch.
 
Denniz and Alan H:

I think for the new computer user Asset checker is appearing to hang. User has to click another tab in the dialog box. I am hopeful you can help me with my problem. I have been playing GOTM in Civ4 and sequels for awhile. I own all 4 games, most recently Colonization. My operating system is windows XP. Recently my hard drive blew up and I had to reinstall all 4 games. I am not sure how or why, but i cannot get the GOTM games to load properly. The asset checker has confirmed I am missing some files. My conclusion is it will be easier to uninstall everything and then reinstall.

My question: what order should each game, latest patch and HOF mod be installed?? I remember that Warlords and BOTS contained the latest patch, etc. What would you recommend? Thank you.
