wghost81 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Turns out that Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Isolated Shell redistributable package shipped with the tool requires Win XP SP 3 and thus can't be installed for Win 7. The solution is to download it manually. Also, read XCOM 2 SDK\Documentation and install XCOM 2 SDK\Binaries\Redist\UE3Redist.exe package.
dreadylein Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Thanks for the Info :smile: Uhh neat, modsupport. This means we most likely dont need to bang our heads against integrity checks again :smile:Did you find the time to have a look at it yet ?
wghost81 Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) Well, it was actually my first mod that started XCOM2 forum. :smile: The tool looks good. But needs getting used to. :smile: Edited February 5, 2016 by wghost81
Daizz Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) So I ran through the quickstart, installed the Redist stuff and got ModBuddy to launch, but for some reason I can't open any files. Checked cache and everything seems fine, but it just doesn't work, and internet is being remarkably unhelpful. Anyone got any ideas on what could be wrong and how to fix it? (This is on Windows 8.1 64-bit) Edited February 5, 2016 by Daizz

(This is on Windows 8.1 64-bit) I'm not sure what could be the problem. Our development machines are also running Windows 8.1 64-bit, and I didn't see any issues like that, although I installed the VS Shell and SDK a few months ago, so my memory isn't fresh. You might double check that you are launching the SDK through steam, and not trying to launch the Visual Studio shell directly. I always launch the SDK through Steam. The only other configuration I had to do was setting up the paths to the game and SDK folders.
Daizz Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 I am starting it through Steam (I don't even really see a way to start it outside it). I wonder if the fact that I have VS 2013 Preview installed on my computer too... I guess I'll try uninstalling both and reinstalling and see if that changes anything.
TeamDragonpunk Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Ok, ran the the isoshell.exe but I keep getting an error when trying to run UE3Redist (corrupt). Going to try a few things. Anyone else getting this error? SOLVED: Need to run the UE3Redist as Admin.. derp...little rusty
Azworai Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 I keep getting 404'd when following the aforementioned link to manually download VS 2013... am I SoL for getting modbuddy working on Windows 7?
davidlallen Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 I run windows 7 and I just clicked on the redistributables. They worked fine.
