My question for my first post is why only with Data files for one game system (the new wh40k files) and none of the others. It didn't do this with the previous version of the data files. It doesn't do this with Fantasy, Blood Bowl, the test systems, etc just the new 40k files. |

Try the following. Use Windows Explorer and locate the Blood Bowl data files. You'll find them beneath the "data" folder that is beneath where you installed AB. Delete the file "core.abz". Now try reloading the game system. The data files will need to be recompiled, which should result in the error occurring. If you try the above and the error doesn't occur, then I may be overlooking something here. Please give it a try and report back. |

actually blood bowl loaded/installed to user\...\localstore\... so it loaded to user space happily it does not have a copy under c:\program files(x86)\...
i deleted the core.abz and it recreates it just fine same for the fantasy battle files as well. i am only having this with the 40K files. i know there were some minor tweaks for uac/admin rights stuff between vista and 7 but it ran just fine on vista for me but I honestly don't remember if i put in c:\program files or at c:\ one thing that might work better is installing to c:\user\myusername\armybuilder as that would put it all in userspace directly. i will try that before the week is out. |

More than likely, the 40K files were downloaded when AB was automatically launched by the installer. The Blood Bowl files were probably downloaded during a subsequent launch. Since AB was auto-launched with Administrator privileges by the installer, those files were placed beneath "c:\program files", while Blood Bowl was not.
Try the following: 1. Delete the "ab40K5" folder beneath "c:\program files" that contains the 40K data files. 2. Launch AB and the 40K system should now be missing. 3. Download and import the 40K data files anew. 4. Verify that the 40K files are now saved beneath "c:\users" instead of "c:\program files". 5. Try loading the 40K data files. They should now compile and behave properly without and need for Administrator privileges. Hope this helps.... |

That worked. Wiped the files in both places. Started it back up as user and it works again.
Note to self never run it in admin mode again except for updating the program itself. |
