Premium Downloader: Installation Problems

Hi

I cannot get the Premium Downloader installed, every time I want to run the NDSDNR.exe file after unzipped it it gives me a loading error.

I am a premium member, have .NET 3.5 SP1 installed on Vista Home Premium SP1.

Any help is much appreciated as I don't know what else to try to get this thing to work.

 

Hi Loonylion,

Thanks for your quick reply.

The error message doesn't say much:

NDSDNR has stopped working.

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

 

Did you maybe extract it to the "Program Files" folder? It could be that it does not have write access there, which it needs. So if you extracted it there just try it with a folder directly in C: or somewhere.
If you did not extract it there... I will try to think of something how to find out what causes the error..

 

Hi Abomb,

I didn't extract it to the Program Files, just simply tried to run it from my Desktop.

Thanks in advance for looking into this problem.

 

I have also tried to install it on a Windows XP SP3 laptop, with .Net 3.5 and .Net 3.5 SP1 and again it gets aborted when installing the NDSDNR.exe file.

I also tried the solution on both laptops as described here: https://www.romulation.org/forum/index.php?topic=15969.0 and again it gets aborted.

Can you provide me with the link to a previous version of the Premium Downloader so I can test this on my laptops?

 

Ok, first make sure the directory which contains the ndsdnr.exe also contains a folder named "plugins", I forgot to check for that. If that folder does not exist it crashes...
If that doesn't help, try downloading this debg version: http://sharebee.com/8cd4350e
That should give a detailed error message that should help to pinpoint the error.

 

When trying to install the sharebee file I get this error:

Could not find file 'G:\NDS ROMS\New Folder\RomUlationDownloader\0000.dat'.

Personally I have no clue what to make of this, hope you will

 

I think I was able to solve it.

I think it is my virus scan (McAfee) which is preventing this to run. After disabling everything the premium downloader is working.

Time to change to a different virusscan I guess.

Thanks all for your help, it is much appreciated.

 

I will look into the problem now that I have some info on where to start looking. I'm glad it now works for you =)
