Announcing a program to inventory your backpacks into a text file

[Jezzabely]

well it seems that with Winxp SP2 I cant install AOIS as I always did before

*** ERROR: C:\WINDOWS\system32\msvcrt.dll
*** ERROR: The destination file in in-use. Please ensure that all other applications are closed.
*** ERROR: (User Responded with 'Ignore')
*** DURING THIS ACTION: SystemFile: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\msvcrt.dll"

Actually the version of my dll is 700 2600 2180

All other applications were closed during the installation

any idea that could help please ?

Thank you in advance




Edit : well as I was curious and furious to not beeing able to have my bank inventory I though tried to use the program even with the error installation : in fact it works perfectly, so I guess the message error is not important ?

Does the setup try to install the VB runtimes? That could create that message if some other program has opened the DLL.

[Jezzabely]

yes in fact the setup want to install the .dll

Just an FYI, some of the DLL files that AOIS forces you to 'update' upon setup can really play havoc with your system if you have newer versions of the files accociated with VB such as Oleaut32.dll. Just for fun I went and let it install the 'newer' versions of these files, and sure enough when I rebooted to continue setup I couldn't load any programs and couldn't even access the internet. Luckily I have other PCs in my home network and could remedy the problem easily by replacing the changed dll files. TBH I can't remember what program I installed that installed the latest VB files. Anyhow, the problem can be avaoided by just bypassing the setup all together and just extracting the core program files manually from the CAB file.

I hadn't heard any problems about that, but I can see how that'd be a problem.

You don't even need to extract the core program files from the CAB file; there's a "non-installation" version as well with just the files. In fact, the non-installation version used to be the only version, but some people were running into errors because of missing files - so I made the "installation" version as well.

Hmmm.

Probably because people can't fix the problem, don't realize what caused it and think their PC is FUBAR so never say anything about it (or can't).

As I said, I can't remember what I did that updated those files, but I took a quick look at them and they're all date-stamped 2006. I think it was something I DLed from MS to fix a problem I was having with some of my other programs. Honestly, I don't know what you could do. If any one of the files are incorrect/incompatible with any of the others it could cause problems. Other than just not includinging it in the setup and instructing people to learn how to download/install the correct files themselves, I can't say what to do.

Ok, figured out my previous problem was that AOIS wasn't fully loaded in my system before i started opening backpacks (not lag ), I now watch for the creation of the two files ( working.tmp and aois_temp1.inv) before opening BP's and all is well....

Until now!

1) The inventory seems to be pulling BP names from another toon (as mentioned by someone else previously in the thread), no biggy, just thought I'd mention that it happens to me also!

2) AO Client is crashing after using AOIS. I normally go in to a shop to open BP's, after making the report I close AOIS parser and check the info it made, no probs there. I go back to the game and run out the shop... Link-dead

After relogging everything is fine. If I use AOIS again, it LD's me again on zoning :|

Is it maybe the codehook isn't terminating properly from the data stream or something? IDK...

If you need more info on this or any logs etc let me know

[Darkbane]

Any progress on the Character Profiler by the way Covenant?

[kiwu]

Uhm what Darkbane said... actually, I'd prefer for FC to put something like that in the client, even if it just wrote out your stats at exit.

Oh, well, time for the mail to feedback I wanted to write for some time

[Kattaklysm]

I'm not sure if FC changed something within AO or not, but both myself and an orgmate have tried to run AOIS recently and got the no items recognized error. Has anyone else had this problem just recently?

Just checked it and it worked fine for me... (2.2.8 seems to be the current build...)

Great program, worked first time I used it once I got over a couple of dll's it kept saying were in use.

My only next question is, do you know of a decent reference creation window tool that I can dump the web links into for selling on the shopping channel in game?

No, sorry, I don't know of such a tool.

zOMG! This program is a miracle! Easy to use, but the results are astounding!
