Issue Is Still Being Had...

I'm a DDI subscriber, and just spent hours downloading the DDI information. It appeared that everything went well, I got no error messages, and the screens appeared just as the manual indicated that they would.

However, after I reloaded HL, I still have no options available for Class, Race, etc. I tried both closing and re-opening HL, and using Ctrl-R.

Is there a step I'm missing?

Just wondering if there is a new problem similar to this. I use the ddi installer and get up to 'Processing item index' when

'Could not parse item index 'C:\...\items_index_0.xml'. Item index could not continue'

When I then try and run HL, it doesn't have any races, classes, skills or anything. Is this a WotC thing again?

Very likely, it's about that time this month for them to screw up the structure of their data again.

Yep, looks like they changed the data structure again. I'm working on an update for this now, sorry all.

They seem to be changing it every month for some reason.

Colen thank you for the amazing work you do for all of us making sure that HL and Lone wolf are a great product and outstanding company.

As for the updater is it just me or does everyone chuckle a bit that they have a problem once a month at a certain time (bowing head and shaking it from side to side) poor grade school humor.

I did not mean to offend anyone just pointing out the facts and possible relations.

When the downloader stops working, its usually some change WOTC did to the compendium. Such is life.

I updated Hero Lab to 3.7 a few days ago and therefore updated all the game systems as well. I thought I would try to run the ddidownloader to make sure my content is current and hit a snag. I, uh, can't find it anymore.

It used to be in Hero Lab/data/4e but the folder structure seems to have changed with the latest update. Am I just dumb and missing something?
