Hi all,

Anyone know what OS's the bots run under? Got various PCs I'd like to run it on but the main one is a test PC from work - running server 2008. LOTRO runs fine on it etc but not sure if the bot will. It's got .net framework 1,2,3,3.5 installed. In theory it should be ok?

Should run under any windows environment XP and up

Sadly it would appear it doesn't like server 2008, will have to try it on another PC then

Simply won't load the .exe, instantly get LotroViperLauncher.exe has stopped working.

All .net frameworks installed and updated (framework 2 is built into server 2008).

you may need the latest c++ runtimes from microsoft. Also 2008 is very finicky about permissions and access rights to the programs you run. I would also check them.

Screaming do you know if theres' a list of requirements needed to run the bot?

.net framework versions, C++ runtimes, anything else?

Got it working, suddenly realised that although UAC was disabled I hadn't completely turned off DEP. Once I turned it off entirely:

run this at command prompt:
bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff

restart PC, loads up no problem.

I had a feeling it was something daft that was preventing it running

yeah 2008 is really picky about a lot of things

Dissable UAC (Its a new and improved version I know, not much about it yet).

Set viper to run in compatiblity mode (right click properties on exe).

Finally, try logging as a admin user.
