Item Assistant doesnt work under Windows7

Post by Mophro »

Item Assistant doesnt work under Windows 7.
Anyone had the same problem and perhaps a solution?
"Unable to parse the AO database."
"Please make sure Anarchy Online is not running and try again."

I tried running it in XP-mode and as administrator. Neither worked.

You can contact the author on his site http://frellu.net/ia/

He is usually very reactive and replies to email.



Nevertheless, for what it is worth, here is what I found on the first page (remember that Win7 relies lot on Vista code):
Compatibility
There is a known issue running version 0.8.4 and earlier versions of this application under WIndows Vista. It will give you an error message during startup unless you run it in compatibility mode as Windows XP SP2.
Version 0.9.0 and later should work for both Windows XP and Windows Vista.
Also
Version 0.9.5 of AOIA is now available
What version are you using?

So I had an old version, I downloaded the new version. Ran it and it worked like a charm.
