Lots of stuff broke with the last update

[Ualaa]

I uninstalled every component, reinstalled them all, and then updated them top to bottom.
Still had the issue, unfortunately.

Hmm. Not that I don't believe you, but can you check Tools->Manage Third-Party Updates and list the version number HL shows for each SoP package you have? I'm wondering if the update mechanism missed one in your case. I had a couple of people yesterday with your same problem who got it cleared up by updating everything so I want to be absolutely sure you're current as well.

Checking through the list, I seem to have two versions of the Alteration Handbook.

These are the version numbers.

Spheres of Power, v1.32, 36 files
Expanded Options, v1.7, 2 files
Shapeshifter's Handbook, v1.5, 2 files
Shapeshifter's Handbook, v1.5, 4 files
Destroyer's Handbook, v1.6, 2 files
Diviner's Handbook, v1.6, 2 files
Enhancer's Handbook, v1.1, 2 files
Vivomancer's Handbook, v1.0, 2 files
Illuminator's Handbook, v1.2, 2 files
Mentalist's Handbook, v1.2, 2 files
Geomancer's Handbook, v1.4, 2 files
Telekinetic's Handbook, v1.4, 2 files
Battlemage's Handbook, v1.1, 2 files

Maybe just delete all of these and re-download and install fresh. Its a few minutes of work but it would get everything installed clean.

As Shadow says, Shapeshifter's showing up twice is a concern. Not sure if you just typed it twice by mistake, but the fact that one of them has 4 files instead of 2 suggests to me that one of them is the result of another handbook or two getting mislabeled in the update files (a mistake I have made before).

Your Vivomancer's Handbook is one version behind (current is 1.1), but other than that you do seem to be up to date.

If there are indeed two listings for the Alteration book then definitely try deleting the 4-file one (all non-Core SoP books I've put out to date have exactly 2 files) and then recompiling. If that doesn't fix it, I am inclined to agree with Shadow that a purge and fresh install of all SoP content is your best option. If you take that route, I recommend doing it this way:

1. Open up your downloads directory, which on most computers will be C:\ProgramData\Hero Lab\download.
2. Delete any files in here with "SpheresOfPower" in their name.
3. Start HL, but do NOT load the game system. Instead, hit Find Updates on the Pathfinder system.
4. In the menu that appears, scroll down until you find Spheres of Power, select it, and hit Download. HL will download the latest version from our Dropbox and then ask to import it. Do NOT import the file at this point, just hit Cancel.
5. Repeat step 4 for every expansion book.
6. Close out of HL.
7. In the downloads folder, double-click on SpheresOfPower.hl (the core system package). HL will launch and ask you to import the file (same screen you canceled out of earlier). This time, let it do the import.
8. After the import is complete, select Pathfinder from the Game System Select menu. HL will compile and load Pathfinder. No need to open a portfolio at this point, just make sure it compiles without errors.
9. Close out of HL, then go back to step 7 and choose another SoP book. Keep doing this until you either get everything loaded and compiled or you run into an error.

This will get tedious, I know. But it will ensure that you're jumping straight to the latest version of each file without any older versions getting in our way. And if there's a problem with one particular book, it'll be easier to determine which one it is.

Good luck!

Removing everything Spheres related...

Downloading each component fresh...
Installed each, without any issues.
Hero Lab likes Spheres, once again.

Thanks guys.
