DDI Data Files could not be loaded? Please Help

I Ran the updater overnight last night and restarted Hero Lab. It's giving me an error and won't open. Here is a sample:

The data files could not be loaded due to the following errors:

File: ddi_equipment.dat (line 145) - Thing "eqAshenrod" (dynamic tag) - Tag 'Energized' not defined​

It goes on to show probably 50 or so other "File: " examples that are giving off errors. I only have the option to click "OK" which brings me back to the load screen.

I need to do work in there for a game tomorrow, I'm hoping someone knows what I can do to get this working?

Thanks,

-Drake
 
I'm getting similar errors with Pathfinder. It seems to be related to all of my .user files no longer being recognized. HALP!

But no, seriously, I have to GM tonight and a fix/workaround would be dearly appreciated.
 
Mystic Lemur - an issue with pathfinder's data is unrelated to an issue with the DDi downloader for 4th edition. Please post in the Pathfinder forum, and when you encounter the error message, right-click it and copy it, so that you can paste the exact error message. Without that exact message, we can't help you figure out what's wrong.
 
Mathias, I'm posting in the Hero Lab Discussion forum, because this is an issue with a Hero Lab update. I'm posting in this thread because it seems related to the Hero Lab update I'm having an issue with. I don't like making multiple threads on the same topic, but since you work for LWD I will defer to your experience.

Edit: My (non)issue has apparently resolved itself. Hip Hip Huzzah.

Reloading Data File Fixed problem

FYI, something probably was wrong with my first download attempt because after re-downloading the current DDI files, everything is working again.

Also - for the record:

1) Mystic Lemur - I'm feel you did right by posting your problem here - this seemed to be a program issue for both of us, especially since it was the same problem in 2 different modules of the program. We both posted here instead of the gaming system forums because of that reason.

2) Mathias - Honestly I think it would have been better to ask him for the info you needed to help him instead of telling him that he posted in the wrong place.

3) I'm glad that mine and Mystic Lemur's problems have apparently "gone away" but I still hope that someone from LWD is checking to make sure that something isn't actually wrong. Two of us from different gaming systems had the same problem at the same time.

I am with Mathias please post your issue in the correct game system. HL has two sides the software and the game. 99% of the time the issue after you update the game is in the game not HL software.

Trying to debug a game system issue in the general forum just makes things harder as the answers depends on which game. So if your problem is in pathfinder please post in the pathfinder forum.
 
As I said above, I don't have a problem with that. I don't mean to seem defensive, but it just seemed to me that since we were having similar issues with different datasets, it might just be a general Hero Lab problem. I'm glad that it's not, and that both of our issues have resolved.
