Hey guys.
Just starting fooling around with this great dev kit and was making my way through the tutorial when I hit a bit of a snag.
I had made the new solidity, but when I started to edit it I got this error message.
I was still able to set the category to "Solid" like in the Tutorial, but "My Tileset" does not appear under the drop down menu for "Shape" like it says it should in the tutorial.
Anyone know what's going on? I've searched the forums but haven't found anything.
Thanks for your time.

Windows Vista has a higher level of security than Windows XP. You'll need to save the project somewhere first to be able to do this step.
This should be fixed for the release though. I don't know why temporary projects don't go into the TEMP folder.
-
I have saved the project... In several different locations, but I'm still getting the same error message.
Sorry to be a bother, but I'm rather clueless on how to fix this.
You're talking about saving the entire project right? Like just under the file menu correct?
I feel stupid but I don't know what I'm doing wrong...
:ugly:

maybe it is the firewall... i have got ZoneAlarm, and it keeps every new program very restricted unless i say someting else.
did you try out locations which are not lying in the programs folder or another sensitive place?

I've tried my Desktop and I've tried changing the permissions on my entire C drive and each of the folders.
Still no luck.

I keep fiddling with it, but I still can't figure it out.
Any other ideas?
:'(
*EDIT*
Got it to work!
Just hadn't fiddled enough with the security options long enough apparently. I changed so many things though I don't know what finally did it.

lol... well congratulations! :D

vista is crap. but i welcome you at the sgdk users and hope we can see some great game some time.

They can't go to the temp folder because .NET won't load dependencies of SGDK2IDE.exe from a different folder than the folder where the EXE is running from. I wonder if the install offers to install the program only for the current user or for all users, and if it offers to install only for the current user, if using that option would behave better. I'm not sure what the proper solution to a problem like this is. It might not be fixed in the release if there's no good answer.

i can tell u that, it does ask if u want it for all users or just urself.

I found a way to make SGDK2IDE.exe pick up the temp DLL from the temp directory. So the released version of SGDK2 does not have this problem.

cool ;D
