Model manipulator - help

[malkava]

I'm doing some experiences on models and a ran into a problem with DATool: DA model manipulator (found in: http://social.bioware.com/project/41/) . Every time I try to open a model (weapon or armor) I recieve this message:

 

When opening datool.exe an error message appears that says: "This Program is obsolete. Please obtain a new version from http://social.bioware.com/project/41"

After clicking on the link another appears that says:

"Unhandled exception has occured in a component in your application. If you click Continune, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

Details:

"

See the end of this message for details on invoking

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

application or computer (machine.config) must have the

jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.

The application must also be compiled with debugging

enabled.

 

For example:

 

 

 

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception

will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

rather than be handled by this dialog box.

"

After clicking on and reading details there is a continue button and the standard "x" exit button.

 

Then, odly enough I can close both error windows and still use the program.

 

 

I do not expect someone has a solution to DA Tool problem. I just want to know another way to open and manipulate (retexture, rename) msh, mmh and phy models.

 

By the way: I installed DirectX SDK and it is still not working.

 

Thanks.
