Then it closed itself.

Can somebody help me to fix that? Or where can i download the 3.2 version that was working very well for me?

Hi, I also have the same issue when I upgraded to 3.3. I am running the 64bit version of Win 7 Home Premium.
I did upgrade from XP to Win 7 64 in November and only have one licence.

I was asked to re-activate my licence, and this seemed to complete ok, and was told to restart AB 3.3, which I did. Since then I can only see a Minimal system. I have since re-instaled 3.2 which is working fine again.

Lets hope the team gets the info neede to correct this issue soon.

Cheers
Tim

Where can I reinstall 3.2 from.

I have the cd and tried to install 3.1 but then I couldn't download warhammer fantasy battles updates.

Have posted it to wolflair support.

It appears that there's a problem running Army Builder 3.3 as a user with an unusual login name, i.e. a login name with characters that have accents or aren't in the ascii character set, like your windows username has.

I believe the problem is that when Army Builder tries to create a folder under "My Documents" for you, Windows tells it to make an unhelpful folder like:

c:\documents and settings\??????????\Army Builder

Making folders with lots of question marks in their names is not allowed, so problems ensue and eventually everything just falls over. :(


We're working on a permanent solution for this problem now. However, happily there is a simple fix for this issue that you can use until we find one. Here's what you'll need to do:

1) Make a folder somewhere (I recommend on your C drive) called "ArmyBuilder". For example, "c:\ArmyBuilder". You can make this folder anywhere, but it CAN'T be under My Documents or on your Desktop.


2) Right-click the Army Builder shortcut, choose "Properties", and add the following to the end of the "Target" field:

-userroot="c:\ArmyBuilder"

Use the name of the folder you created, if it was different from that. For example, when I do this, my complete Target field is:

"C:\Program Files\Army Builder\ArmyBuilder.exe" -userroot="c:\ArmyBuilder"


3) Double-click the shortcut to run Army Builder.


AB should now work fine, and will expect to find saved rosters and so on in the new "c:\ArmyBuilder" folder you created. You can move your saved roster files there and access them as normal.


Hope this helps!

For users who want to revert to Army Builder 3.2, item #2 of our FAQ cover this:

If you're having issues with downloading updates, I recommend you contact technical support, at support@wolflair.com - the issue is likely a configuration problem with your computer, not Army Builder 3.3.

I now have the same error. Initially, it worked for me in my office but totallly screwed up today at home. I work on a networked laptop and logged in from home and cannot even install AB 3.3 now. Also, when I tried to reinstall AB 3.3 completely deleted all my old rosters. Thanks for not warning me that my entire roster archive would get deleted. Tried the suggested fix and it did not work. Tried to find AB 3.2 and can't find it to install it. Also, the entire Dwarf roster for Warhammer is now screwed up for Runelords and Runesmiths. Not fun when I'm trying to check army lists for a local tourney.

sdhakala,

Can you give me more information about the problem you're having? There have been multiple problems discussed in this thread. Exact error messages and descriptions of what you're doing would be really helpful.

Also, there's no way that Army Builder 3.3 can delete your old rosters - even if you uninstall the product, they're left for you to delete manually. Try looking in your "My Documents\Army Builder" folder - installing 3.3 moves the rosters to there, as you are warned about several times during the installation process.

Just got this as well:

What I was doing is opening AB after installing it a couple days ago, apparently without incident. Interestingly when I switched it to using XP SP3 compatibility mode it worked, then worked again after I switched compatibility mode off.

I did eventually find my rostors in My Documents on the network hard drive but not on my local (due to auto sync of files). I was getting the same types of messages as above. The problem did not exist when I first downloaded and was working in the office (on network) but occurred when I went home and tried to work offline and then connected to the corporate network system to access files off my network server. After that, though, the problem has continued to occur even after repeated installs and after trying to reinstall (after uninstalling) in my office on the network. The process has also crreated a situation where I cannot find the runes for characters in a dwarf army even after I uninstalled AB3.3 and reinstalled AB 3.2. I cannot find a fresh copy of AB 3.2 on your Internet site (gives us 3.1 as the old version).

Good to know that the paying customers are also your beta testers. Was 3.3 even tested before being released? The amount of reported crashes makes me think not.

Anyways I was in warhammer.def file for 8th ed and clicked on View tab. 3 View Ids under View tab were selectable.
Clicking on any of the View Ids resulted in the following error.
