I know i shouldn't double post but it's a semi bump plus it makes the thread show up more but, Stain i was hoping you could point out which book the -2 to invention disadvantage "bought with power armour" comes from i can't find it in the core books so i'm hoping it's just a case of me being blind

the -2 comes from page 75. Where they discount the price for invention for the character. he just added it as a disadvantage. Which isn't bad at all, it just means when creating characters we need to keep an eye out to add it.

Reemo, you are right about that. One thing to note (in case anyone wonders) is the program will count it as a "free" discount, meaning it won't count against the half-cost rule.

No matter how many times I download it from either of the mirrors it does not seem to work for me. The error I get seems to suggest a problem with the config.dat file. It seems like a bad download, but I get the same error from both sites and I've tried it on two different computers (both Vista).
First it complains about states and then mentions something about .jet files and finaly it states that config.dat is missing or corrupted. Any ideas?

I'm sorry you're having difficulties. There are a few things that come to mind as possibilities. First, check to make sure you have .NET installed (at least version 2.0). Second, check to make sure you have administrater rights before installing. Finally, post the exact error message that pops up. These are often very helpful to me.
A final thought that comes to mind is that I tested the program on Vista with UAC (user account control) turned OFF. I never tested it with UAC on. I don't suspect this to be the problem, but UAC has been known to cause problems with installations. You might try turning it off before you install the program.
I hope this helps!

Ok, so I checked and I have .net 2.0 and I've got administrator rights. I don't realy know what UAC is, but I only have one account on this machine so I'm guessing it's off. I'm running Vista 64 on my machine, but I get the same errors on both the family one, where I also had administrator rights and .NET 2.0.
Ok, so the errors I get are:
Two of: Class not registered (not states as I posted before, woops).
Then: 'Microsoft.jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider not registered on the local machine.
Followed by: 'config.dat' is missing or corrupt.
Sorry to bother you :-)

No bother! Okay...I've been doing some research on your problem and the news is grim. Microsoft Jet is only available as a 32-bit process and therefore cannot run on 64-bit systems. Since the MURPG Character Builder relies on Jet, it looks like it won't work on 64-bit systems. You might try searching the net for a workaround, but regretfully at this time I don't know of anything reliable.

Hiya. Wanted to say I love this app and I use it at work sometimes to kill time. I've been using it a bit at home too, but a few months ago I switched from XP32 to XP64, and recently I tried running MURPG B but got the usual 64-bit related errors. I think there might be a way around it, but I'm no coder. I did find this though, and maybe you can decipher it and see if it's possible to implement, because I'd love to be able to use it in XP64 too.

Hey gagoff, I'm glad you find the program useful for your needs. I've done some extensive research on the 64-bit issue, and it came down to the JET database engine. Unless Microsoft releases a 64-bit version of JET, there is no way I can make it work on a 64-bit system without a major code revision. Please let me know, however, if you come across anything that may be helpful.

Okay...I just noticed this. Who the heck gave my program a 'Terrible' rating!? Geez, at least give me a reason why. May your characters all be plagued with the fluffy bunny challenge: instant death whenever a fluffy bunny is in sight. Good luck this Easter!
