Unhandled exception, rev952, Win7 32-bit
« on: 23 November 2010, 01:00:37 »
On a super-fresh (as in a couple minutes ago) install of GAE 0.3.1, overwriting with the files from the snapshot, when I try to run from the desktop shortcut, I get:

Couldn't mount dataDir: C:/Program Files/glestae/share/glestae;
The system cannot find the path specified.


When launching the glestadv.exe from the /bin directory, I get:
An error occurred and Glest will close.
Crash info has been saved in the crash.txt file

but alas, there is no such file generated!  Upon further inspection, there is also no glest.ini or other config files.

Edit: This was done on a guest account because my main user account is broken.  I'll try to fix that and see if it's related to that.

Edit: Logged into my admin profile, reinstalled, still same error.  Map editor and g3d viewer both work.

Silnarm mentioned that he didn't set datadir during compile correctly. That's why the shortcut doesn't work but it shouldn't crash when run from bin/...

Maybe we should make a real release candidate with installers.

I'm fairly confident all the bugs in the Display are fixed, I made some changes to the path-finder that I would like to test a little more, but it was nothing major, so I think we could probably tag this weekend sometime...
