getting errormessage after 2.5

[flyingspirit]

Ok, when i try to run SoD im getting an errormessage, that says the following.
(translating from danish so it might not make so much sense )
An non-run exception has occured. If you click continiue, the program will ignore the error and continiue. If you click done, the program will close. (Now if i click continiue the patcher will stall at checking file list for 5+ hours (longest i have had it run))

If i select details i get the following.

Se slutningen af denne meddelelse, hvis du vil have detaljer om,
hvordan du starter JIT-fejlfinding i stedet for denne dialogboks.

************** JIT-fejlfinding **************
Hvis du vil aktivere JIT-fejlfinding, skal værdien jitDebugging indstilles
i afsnittet system.windows.forms i konfigurationsfilen
for programmet eller computeren.
Programmet skal desuden kompileres med fejlfinding
aktiveret.
(english translation)
Hvis du vil aktivere JIT-debugging, you have to configure jitdebugging in system.windows.forms in the configuration file for the program or computer.
further more the program must be compiled with debugging activated.


Eksempel:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

Når JIT-fejlfinding er aktiveret, bliver alle ikke-afviklede
undtagelser sendt til den JIT-fejlfindingsfunktion, der er registreret på computeren, i stedet for
at blive afviklet af denne dialogboks.
(english translation)
When Jit-debugging is activated, all non-failed exceptions will be sent to the JIT-debuggingfunktion, that has been registeret on the omputer, instead of this dialogbox.


How do i fix this ??

You get this when running 2.5 from Windows XP.
There is no known fix,XP is simply no longer supported.
see here:
https://shardsofdalaya.com/forum/threads/2-5-go-live-please-read.29918/#post-303534
and
https://shardsofdalaya.com/forum/threads/2-5-faq.29910/

I guess with the huge success 2.5 is they no longer want/need us Xp-users (nor Linux/Mac OS users).

I have the problem solved on one machine at least and I am in the process of implementing it on the other. I had to do the following:

1) Download and install Service Pack 3 for XP
2) Download and install newer version of Windows Installer
3) Download and install .NETFramework 4.0
4) Download and install the C++ 2013 redistributable x86 version
5) reinstall DirectX from the link on the patcher

First try, XP machine once again runs better than Windows 8

So at least one person got it working...

I don't read Danish.

It seems to be referencing the .NET framework, here's the link to try...
