Hi bought the pro edition, but I am having trouble updating. After failing to overwrite what seems to be my standard key, I reinstalled gs. If I then unzip my pro key.exe, it does nothing. It still says trail version. It seems to lack a dll file that my standard licence contained in the zip. I have the 6.1 installer and need to work with 6.3. Do I absolutely have to work with the new version of gamestudio, which is the only thing I can think of to be the problem.

This is very important please let me know. I have to know NOW!

Thanks. But when I do this, SED does not want to compile the script. When I press the test run button it does nothing.

What I did:

uninstalled gs.
Installed 6.40.5
Unzipped my pro key.exe in the root folder.
Updated with the 6.31.4 pro updater.

When I try to run the engine it doesnt start, not even the startup window. Tried through wed and sed.

Did it work _before_ you installed the 6.31 update?

If not, something with your 6.40 installation or with your key might be wrong; if yes, installing the update might have gone wrong for some reason - for instance it went into the wrong folder.

Yes if its a clean 6.4 install with the pro key it works 100%. Its when I do the downgrade when things seem to go wrong.

Ok, then try the following:

- Make sure that the "Gamestudio directory" in SED options is set to your Gstudio6 folder.

- Version 6.31 had a BIN folder that contained the acknex.exe; copy the ackutl.dll and your .key file from the Gstudio6 main folder into the BIN folder.

Eureka! Thanks allot jcl!

What files should I copy to (i assume bin) to make the starter window program work?
