My guess is you are using a version of the .Net Framework in another language. Here in the states we use "." for a decimal place separator. It is a comma in Germany, and many other places. The short term fix is to use a computer with the English framework on it. Long term, it would be nice if someone translated the DAT files into different languages and I could distribute those separately.
@venenum
I got it to download. Give it another shot, perhaps there was some fluke with my hosting provider.

Can you explain exactly the steps you take to create this error. I want to see if I can recreate it to confirm it for the list of bugs to fix.
EDIT: it just occurred to me you might be talking about the Magic tab. If you are, this is not a functional part of the program yet.

Also, do you have a template of how you would like the data to be arranged for the augmentation .dat files? Is this something we can just submit, and if it is to your liking it will be used?

Do you have 2.0 installed though. I have 1.1 with both hotfixes, 2.0, and 3.0. They won't conflict with each other and it doesn't confuse an .NET applications by having multiple versions installed. I would suggest installing .NET 2.0 if it is not installed.
EDIT: I am not a smart guy like thewolf, but by the looks of that error it is reporting it can't find files from the 2.0 installation. In other words, I bet you don't have .NET 2.0 Framework installed.

See if it works any better if it is ran off the C: drive. The error system.io.directorynotfound I would think means it can't find one of the DnCRG directorys. If you know how to use filemon you can find out where the program is looking when it gives this error. Just filter everything out except for DnCRG output in filemon.
EDIT: I am at a loss here to what could be causing this issue. If you haven't already done it, I would suggest redownloading the program and extracting it to another directory to see if that works. If that still doesn't work, hopefully thewolf will see this post and will be able to help out.

Just a heads up incase you didn't know. This program is not very Vista friendly. I got a unhandle exception because it got blocked trying to access an XML file in Program Files, I assume trying to open in Write mode. Running XP compatibility mode might "fix", or not running it from a 'Program Files' sub-directory that but that isn't very good for new programs to come like that. Running in XP compatibility mode == security hole. 
Wow, it looks like a lot has popped up since I last checked in. I'll see if I can address some of these XML issues maybe tomorrow.
Vista-friendly...hahahahaha
Congrats on finding the System.IO.DirectoryNotFound error. Typically means it is trying to load a file and can't find the directory. The program should work as extracted no matter where it is copied to.

Welcome to the brave new world of file redirection under Vista. Sadly I haven't seen anywhere on the 'net or even the Vista tech books, muchless from Microsoft themselves, that fully explains how it all works. It took me and a coworker about a week of gathering info for a number of sources and testing the behavior on both x86 and x64 to understand all the ins and outs. But I will tell you that it definately matters which directory it is installed to because the Program Files and Windows directories, and sub-directories thereof, have a different security setting and behavior than others.If you don't intend to have it work for Vista...well people that think Vista is just going to go away like Windows Millenium did don't really understand how the two situations are very different. Or understand why these issues spring up from Vista working towards the tighter security found under many other OSes while trying to support the less security legacy practices.
If you aren't going to support Vista that's your choice. But you are really only going to be cutting out a growing potential userbase that you can include with relatively little tightning of the code.
Now I haven't played with the program that much, but it does work on my Vista box. I have a folder off the c:\ drive that I keep all of my gaming tools.

vista changed many things under the hood that makes programming for windows harder for some people. They tighten down the (potential) security and they broke several programming methods that everyone used (even MS). So making things Vista compatible can be a challenge especially if you do not have a vista machine to test against.

I dont think he is cutting off the vista people to cut them off. I bet he doesnt have a vista machine. Out of the 1000s of the machines in my office, hell there is over 1000 in my building alone, we have zero vista machines. Even my brand spanking new laptop that arrived this morning from Dell doesnt have vista. Not everyone is on the new cutting edge software. Some of us wait until it is baked in before changing O/Ses.
so if people can help provided good feedback/big reports we (err he) can fix the issues. Personally the code I develop for the office, works on Windows XP (2000/2003/etc) but I wont make any commitments about vista.
just my opinions.

I have vista on both of my laptops, and the application runs just fine. I just unzipped it to "c:\program files\DNCRG" and it works okay. Vista warns me that the application is not digitally signed, but other than that I have no issues. Granted, I "installed" and ran the application with an admin account.

Maybe there is a different source for the error then. But it isn't in the initial screen.
It worked to start with but then I went to a tab. I didn't bother to screen cap as my screen cap program is set up for sending the snaps to the company debug FogBugz database.
I changed to a different tab (not Magic, forget which one but I think it is one that is suppose to work). It was trying to open an XML file in the Programs Files (x86) directory where the app was coppied to. I assumed it was trying to open the file in Write mode, which will fail due to security.

A lot of it is now making a rule of things that were guidelines. Guidelines that many programmers ignored. Including hacks at Microsoft (you try to get several thousand people to all listen to you
).The main one in question here, at least I'm guessing from the error message, is: Don't open or create in write mode any file in the applications directory. If you must open a file there use read-only.
It is only if you choose to ignore that rule that things get really complicated. Because you can sort of work around it. And sometimes you can write the files. But they'll go off into the user's private store. Which while it works is bad because that is one bloated place already. It's sort of like cleaning your room by using a shovel to push all the junk on the floor under the bed.
P.S. Yeah, testing is definately important. I'll try to get a screen cap next time. But for now I've removed the app from my machine.
I just opened the app from my c:\program files\dncrg directory, running Vista Business 32b, and cycled through every tab without issue.
It wasn't just going to the tab. You have to edit something, I forget what though. This is why screen caps and note taking is critical for professional testers. The screen cap alone would likely have done it. I did have a screen cap utility running but it is hooked up to send the screen cap off to the FogBugz bug tracking tool which I use for work.
No worries though. When the program gets closer to complete, if the bug hasn't been fixed yet, I'll come back, install again, and break it to grab a screenie.

ok. the program works fantastically. however, when i use the 'adept' sub tab of the magic tab i get this:

i know that previously the magic tab was not working. however, the ONLY thing that does this is the adept sub tab. (augmentation was doing this before, but a reinstall fixed this...no such luck on this one though).

I found that the program failed to run (generated an error similar to the one posted by the user in New Zealand) if I ran it from a networked drive. As soon as I moved it to the C drive, it then worked. I had the /Data directory in both cases.

the first available drive is h:/ . for some reason, it wont let me make a c:/ . it doesnt do that for augmentation...(ok...once or twice). it also appears that if i monkey with something i saved, it eventually generates that error. sometimes when im just looking and have the file open.
I tried out the program. I really liked it, and it did its job of helping me choose things very well.
Unfortunately, I ran into another problem (first was the install, as noted before). When I go to save, it gives me an error. Since there is no print option...
Doh!
Any fixes for this?

I think there are some issues with the XML character source that are causing all of these errors. I'll see if I can work on that.
(Dev Site)
Fixed the nasty error that was causing all of the problems, I think. I also switched things over to binary serialization, so no more XML character files. I don't think it will be that big of a deal. The binary files are faster to load and smaller in size.
I was thinking about the best way to handle the print issue. I'm leaning towards XML spreadsheet, but I'd have to test and make sure OpenOffice loads it ok. Thoughts? Also, I can repackage whenever someone gets the new DAT files for me that include Augmentation gear.
I noticed I passed a year of development on this project. It sucks it is taking this long, but when I program during the day I rarely want to program some more when I get home. I hope everyone finds the program to be useful even if it is not as polished as it should be at this point.

I'll test it soon.
One thing I noticed is that capacity is not taken into account with cyberwear. So, I get cybereye and get low-light and flare comp, they are shown as taking up more essence when they should not unless the capacity of the cybereye is exceeded.
Thanks!

You're probably adding the cyberware accessories wrong. Add the parent item (Cybereyes II, for example) and then right click on its entry. You can then accessorize it with thermographic vision, lowlight, etc.

Yeah yeah, I hear ya. Expect something soon.
any chance of getting a port to Linux? unless somebody has gotten it running under Wine
Theoretically it would run under the Mono project, if they have WinForms support. Mono is an implementation of the .Net Framework under Linux.
Status Update:
I have added all of the Cyberware, Bioware, Symbionts and Biodrones with some exceptions. {Customized Cyberlimbs, Bulk Modification, Optimized Cyberlimb, Modular Cyberlimb, Modular Plug-in, Cyberweapon Mounts, Modular Plug-in Adaptation, Cyberware Suites, and finally Biosculpting.}
Also to note. Nothing in the Attribute Mods list has been filled in yet, nor any of the page reference numbers. Dog_Xinu, if at all possible I would like to submit what I have currently accomplished for your analysis and correction. Please email me at [jonathan223] at [gmail].[com] Also, anyone else willing to analyze and correct the augmentation datasets, please email me as well. I currently have them in an .xls format. If you prefer, I can easily convert them to the native format for you.
Genetech, Nanotech, Medtech. I will tackle each one in the next three days. So that means tomorrow is Genetech, followed by Nanotech on Wednesday, and finally Medtech on Thursday.
EDIT: Dog_Xinu, I just caught your email. Sending it to you now.

Did you guys receive my emails?????
FYI - I am performing a hosting change, so DnCRG files and the download page will be unavailable for a day or so while I get everything switched over. I will post the new URL for files as soon as I have it.

I did not get your emails. did you send it to dogxinu (at) gmail (dot) com?
Sorry I didnt see your post before now.
dog.
Great program! From what I can tell, its awesome.
Thanks for the compliment. It's not really all I would like it to be, but maybe it will get there someday. Before Shadowrun 5th Edition anyways.
You should make the column of the totals be differentiated from the other columns. For example, with the stats, you have like 3 or 4 columns, the totals should stand out for quick use ease. Something to think about.
