It was confirmed by one of the WOTC staff on their forums that they purposely removed the ability to copy info from the compendium using RTF format. Not sure how the DDI downloader for HL works but if it uses that method then I suspect the removal of RTF functionality from the compendium could be an issue. |

Okay so there has been a change with 3.7HL so here is how I found mine (Windows 7 system)
Open these to find the application 1. Hard drive to Program Data file 2. Hero Lab file 3. Open Data file 4. 4e file 5. scroll down until you find the ddidownloader (this is the application that starts the downloader. a "dos" like screen will pop up if you have a DDI subscription choose 2. then you will have to fill in your DDI name and password. it will confirm then start download and conversion to HL this takes time (5 to 10 hours depending on your connection and useage at the time so read a book or go to bed) the porgram will give dots for completed items and ! for something that did not convert (ie classes from Heros of Shadows). Make sure you have loaded HL3.7 first then run the ddi. when its finished open HL and you should ahve the currect info. I hope this helps you and everyone that will be running the next ddidownloader. |

As SAbel mentioned, Hero Lab 3.7 now uses a different location for storing user data files, as required by Windows Vista / Windows 7. Unfortunately this new location changes based on which version of windows you're using, so it's not in the same place for everyone. You can find the new location by doing the following:
1) Load any game system in Hero Lab 2) Select the Tools -> Explore Folders -> Program Data folder menu item. An explorer window should open. 3) Go to the "data" folder in the new window, and from there the "4e" folder. The downloader should be located in that folder. Hope this helps! |

I just got my downloader to work but now it keeps telling me that:
The data files could not be loaded due to the following errors: Syntax errors in 'eval' script for Thing 'ftExpanSpe' (Eval Script '#1') on line 1 -> Non-existent thing in 'clsWizard' used by script Syntax errors in 'eval' script for Thing 'ftRememWiz' (Eval Script '#1') on line 1 -> Non-existent thing in 'clsWizard' used by script |

Please take a look at the thread entitled "Problem with DDI-downloader" (near the top of the list) for an equivalent question with a reference to the answers you seek.
