LGP Tools on Vista

[Claude]

Hi, has anyone got LGP Tools working properly on Vista? When i try to run it and install LGP Shell Extensions i get "Installation Failed! Possible reasons: -Registry is corrupt. -LGPPROP.dll(??) was not found in the LGP Tools folder. -Could not write to System\ShellExt folder."

Without installing the extensions i can still run it and almost completele installing NPC Reconstruct project, but no matter how many times i try, i get the same "Stream read error" and it's no good, old blocky, or messed up models ingame.

So is there any other program that i can edit .lgp files(extract, recompile) with or can someone tell me how to get LGP tools working? Thanks in advance.

Try running the install program as Administrator?  I don't have Vista at home, but that's what I would try.

Well obviously it didn't work out, since i'm already the administrator of this computer, i can't even check the "Run as the administrator" so no good, thanks anyway


Anything else to try? :O

Did you disable UAC or something?  The default in Vista is that Administrators must do something special to run a program as Administrator - simply logging in as Administrator isn't enough.  Right click a file and select "Run as Administrator".

Going to bump this as I have an identical problem, and curious whether you ever figured it out Claude?  Also I don't think it has anything to do with admin rights for Vista, as the LGPtools runs, it just always comes up with a Stream Read Error.

If it's on Vista or not, it should still work fine, I have Vista, and LGPTools works fine for me every time.
