my patcher stopped working

[guererro]

My patcher started crashing. Response message from computer is a window titled SODBIN.EXE - Fatal Error. Window has exclamation point in yellow triangle alongside message:CLR error 8007000b. The program will now terminate. OK clears the window. I have tried reinstalling the patch files to no avail. I have not changed any setup, which until yesterday functioned.

sodbin.exe errors usually occur when you have .net framework 2.0 installed and not 1.1. You need 1.1 to run SoD., but can have both installed simultaneously.

thanks for the reply. .net 1.1 is installed, so my sodbin problem isnt from that. still scratching my head.

Try deleting files.txt and rerunning the patcher (select advanced > repatch all). If that doesn't work you might want to re-download the SoD patcher (again select advanced > repatch all), putting the files in your game directory.

Started crashing where?

2) Please include as much information as possible, which means "IT'S NOT WORKING HELP" won't do, nor will "it crashes".
Since it might be hard to figure out which piece of information might be required when you're dealing with an issue, here's a list of common ones:
a) Where are you, as in, at which screen, in which program, etc.
b) What was your last action before the issue happened.
c) Which version of Windows are you running? ME? 2000? XP? XP SP2?
d) What is the exact(!) error message?
e) Is it a consistent bug, are you able to get around it, and are you able to reproduce it at will?
f) Which steps have you already taken to try and fix it? This step is in fact very important. If you do not include this, do not expect to receive help
g) Which router/firewall are you using, and have done anything to set it up for SoD?

Thanks.
