Mid's Hero Designer not working since DP update?

It is, I know, not a technical bug in the /game/ but this was the only place I could think of to post it. Everytime I try to patch Mid's with the latest update, I get an error message and the program fails to load. I recently re-downloaded it, and it wont work still (plus now I dont even have the older version). I cant possibly be the only one wiht this issue - what have others done about it?

1. Uninstall whatever version you have. Add/Remove programs from control panel.
2. Go to www.cohplanner.com. Download the setup executable
3. Run the setup executable if you're on a 32-bit OS. If you're in a 64-bit OS or if you're running Vista, run as Admin.

I have Mid's running on 3 machines, and these steps are exactly what I do to get it running. Also note that Mid's has a prerequisite. Make sure you have .Net frameworks installed.

Ahh! I needed to run as admin. *is ashamed* Thank you!

There's a 32 bit and 64 bit version, but it's more likely that you've got the 32 bit version. (64 bit had a pretty limited release and was followed by Vista within a matter of months.)

If you don't know which version you have, right click on your "My Computer" icon and select properties. It should show that it's the 64 bit version if that's the case; if it doesn't say 64 bit, then you have the 32 bit version.

I got mids to work after working really hard to make it do so. However, it seems x5 buggier than the older version I had. It's giving most ATs a base resistance (Defenders 40% for example) and powers like tough are giving resistance to all, not just S/L.

I hope this is remedied soon.

That's not a bug - it's just defaulting to PvP mode where it shows the PvP stats for powers, the base PvP resistance most ATs get, etc. In the upper right corner is a button where you can toggle between PvP and PvE modes. Just hit that and it'll go back to normal. I believe that they have said it will default to showing PvE stats in future versions to avoid this confusion.
