Problem Downloading Mids.


Blue Lava

 

Posted

Hey all I'm hoping for some community help on this one. I'm stuck on vacation and with no way to play CoH I've been wanting to mess around with some of my builds. Unfortunately my laptop is having problems downloading/running mids. I have managed to download the issue 12 version but when I start it up and it does the automatic update I get the same "Mids' Hero Designer has stopped working" error and then after that box I get another Microsoft .NET Framework box that says "Year, Month, and Day parameters describe an un-representable Date Time." I have tried to download the newest version directly from the website but that fails every time while installing and I do have the 2.0 NET Framework as part of the operating system I have.

What message does it give you when you try to install the latest version?

I mentioned that I can not download that newest version. And when I try to install the newest version, after in uninstalls the old one I get a box that says "Error opening file for writing" and this happens with every file if I click the ignore option.

Are you using Vista or Windows 7? If so, run the installer by right clicking on the file and selecting 'Run As Administrator' so it will have appropriate permissions.

I have a different problem downloading Mids, I can't access the dl site from the computer I am using atm. Anyway some overly ambitious and helpful good samaritan might be able to upload it to a rapidshare or some other such file sharer?

Thanks a ton if you can!

Ah thanks so much, this fixed it. Not too much of a techy person so I'm pretty clueless with that stuff.

It should really be integrated into the Installer/Uninstaller to request permissions automagically.

"Should" and "Do" are different things, even with commercial applications.
