I've just downloaded the Addon Manager from our server to check it, and I confirm is the correct one and it works on all our machines. People are buying it, so it must be working, at least for some.
Things to check for:
- An older version of the esellerateengine.dll somewhere in your system and the installer for some reason wasn't able to update it. Look for this file in the following folders: the FS9 root folder, the \Windows folder, and (under Vista) the c:\ProgramData\Esellerate folder. If you find an esellerateengine.dll file in any of these folders, manually delete it and then REINSTALL (to put the correct one in place).
- Antivirus interfering with the product. Try to reinstall with A/V turned off and run FS9 with A/V turned off
- FS9.EXE patched for >2GB. If you did this, you HAVE to use a nocd FS9.EXE. Our installer will automatically detect which FS9.EXE you have and install the correct version. But, if you patched an FS9.EXE with CD check, the program will crash at start.
- Under Vista, the FS9 Addon Manager needs DEP turned off-
