Nice find!
Has anyone else had tons of trouble even using modbuddy once you got it running?
I'm running it in windows 7 and I cannot even start a new project.
The main frame won't even repaint reliably when you click on something.
I have to minimize and re-maximize to see the changes I just made.
On top of that, when trying to start a new project it informs me that it's missing a project file for the empty mod template.
It looks to me like this thing was not finished at release and rushed to a working state.
Anyone else seeing the same thing?
Andreis it sounds like something is wrong with your Visual Studio installation or the mudbuddy installation try removing both and install it again
seems to me that if an application requires a depenency, then that dependency should automatically download and install, or the application in question should provide enough information in order for the user to know what they have to get, and from where...
Most people get a pop up, this is just a helpful hint. As to auto installing it that is not a good idea when you are talking about systems like .net etc.
When I ran ModBuddy, it prompted me to download and install Visual Studio. I don't understand how this post is supposed to be a fix? Did people not get the link?
Obviously not.
No. I was not prompted. Further, I already had VC# and VC++ Express installed prior to installing the game. It would appear that they do need to fix the installer script, unless they're relying on this sticky post to reach everyone.Originally Posted by Teejvan
I've installed the fix, but i still can't start modbuddy, just tells me theres a component missing.
Have installed it twice now just to be sure...
Any hints to what might be wrong?
You should delete all other versions of visual studio before getting the new one. 05 and such will mess with 2010. This worked for elemental at least.
I only have 1 entry for Visual Studio in add/remove programs.
I do however have 13 different entries for visual studio C++, is that the same thing?
I've been getting the "an unhandled win32 exception occurred in..." error after installing this. tyvm
=p
I am getting the same error. I was getting the MSVCR100.dll error - but now a popup titled with Micorosoft Visual Studio Shell Isolated: "Cannot find one or more components. Please reinstall the application."
I have Win 7 x64. I went to Programs and Features and removed everything that said Visual Studio or C# and also all the .Net programs - I installed one trying to fix the MSVCR error. Removed Civ V SDK - via Steam delete local and then rebooted. Downloaded above fix and installed. On the final screen of install I always (twice) get errors with displaying the pictures. The text says it was successful but all the pictures are the little red X's of an HTML source not being found. I checked the error log located at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Shell (Isolated) - ENU\Logs by clicking on the Error Log link on the final install screen. It had this to say:The Readme.htm file is happily located one directory up from the logs along with all the image resources the finish screen appears to trying to display (MS Logo, Silverlight, green check, etc.). I have no idea why those are not displaying properly. My C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0 folder contains 727 files and 153 folders. Can someone with a working installation check their files and folders?Code:[10/09/10,23:38:14] VS70pgui: [2] CFinishPage::UpdateFinal(): Could not find the readme.htm in the client directory as expected! ***EndOfSession***10/09/10,23:43:24] VS70pgui: [2] CFinishPage::UpdateFinal(): Could not find the readme.htm in the client directory as expected!

Does anyone have any other ideas on how to get ModBuddy to work? I did not change any of the defaults while installing any of the programs. The second time, I installed I even did a repair before installing the SDK from Steam. All other features of the SDK work.
this isn't a fix, its a required shell to run VS, and hence ModBuddy.
I have exactly this problem.
Windows 7, X64. "Cannot find one or more components, please re-install the application."
That is the error message I get when I try to run modbuddy.
I do have the MVSS installed.
JUST thought I would point out that I fixed the "missing components error" on my machine by re-installing both applications to the same physical disk.
ALSO I made sure that steam was not running in compatibility mode. It previously was.
I had them installed on different disks formerly. Don't know if that will help anyone, but it worked for me, ModBuddy is now running smoothly.
Thanks for the info.
when i try to reinstall the shell a pop up keeps saying "This feature ypu are trying to use is on a network resorce that is univalible."?
and also
"enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'xs_setup.msi' in the bok below."
do i not have the installation package?
There must be a better way - I am not prepared to uninstall VC just to get the redistribution to work. I currently have VC8 installed on Windows 7 and get this error.
Have we found a solution for getting this to work on Windows 7 64x ? I've reinstalled both the Shell and the SDK and yet still I'm having a problem running with the same error.
Though I'm now getting a Shell error based on not being able to run in compatibility mode.
I assume the problem is a combination of Win7-64 with something else, as I'm fairly sure a lot of people are running it without bother on that OS - including me. Some of the problems described above seem to be regarding having full VisualStudio installed already, so I guess you could be talking about that, but it's hard to be sure when there's no context and such a long time between posts in a thread.
I'm having a problem like this one. I'm not sure which program to uninstall... as apparently I installed 6 programs when attempting to install this plug in. I don't want to uninstall important programs so which do I uninstall?

ModBuddy Blues
Hello,
This board is kinda dusty and I see the last post looks like it was back in Jan 2011. Hopefully someone is still reading. I got an issue I was hoping someone could help explain. When I start ModBuddy I get an error message on my Start Page about Content Load Error. I can still navigate around online and get to Firaxis homepage via ModBuddy. Is there a way I can circumvent this error perhaps by going to a url in ModBuddy and reloading & saving a correct start page. What’s the fix …?
“”Cannot create unknown type “{clr-namespace:ModBuddy.StartPage;assembly=ModBuddy.Sta rtPage, etc etc etc…….
No idea, but there's plenty of more recent posts - the ones at the very top aren't the newest ones, they are the 'sticky' topics set to be always at the top. The first ones that aren't sticky are from today... so you might get further with starting a specific new thread asking for help; people may assume posts to this thread are about, y'know, the topic of the thread, which is a fix for a specific (at one point widespread) problem.
ModBuddy Blues
Ha, I simply uninstalled ModBuddy and repaired Visual Studio; then reinstalled ModBuddy. Wew, what a pain. (did they mention something about this?) Oh well life goes on. Sorry for wasting your time and Thank you for your response. Cya!
Playing the MOD
Hi,
I’ve quick question for the audience. Where do I save my MODs from Steam so I can play them? I've downloaded them but dont see them anywhere. Also, I looked for the Folder for Rise of the Mongols and couldn’t locate the Folder / or File. Also, if I have the SDK why can’t I see the file structure for the game?
Let me rephrase that: I see the MOD folders and files that I downloaded, but don’t see the MOD available in the game as I’m setting up a game. I’m guessing I have to move the folder.
Firstly, the in-game ModHub is GameSpy, not Steam (yeah, insane, right?). Secondly, to get a mod, you select 'MODS', and then go into the mod browser. After mods have been downloaded in the middle (?) tab of the browser, you go to the left tab and there'll be an 'install mods' button. Click that. Then that tab will be a list of mods with checkboxes (round ones that light up) next to them. Select whichever mods you want to use, simultaneously, and then go back to the mods menu. Select 'single player' from THERE, not from the main menu, and you can start a game using the mods you have selected.
