Would anyone know where to find an options.txt editor that doesn’t give this message when I attempt to run the installer:
Header Bar: Cannot Start Application
Message: Application cannot be started. Contact the application vendor.
I then get a .txt file. There are about 30 or 40 lines of text in it but I’ve pasted here what I believe to be relevant:
Error Summary
Below is a summary of the errors, details of these errors are listed later in the log.
* An exception occurred while determining trust. Following failure messages were detected:
+ Value does not fall within the expected range.
* Activation of EXECUTABLE PATH application resulted in exception. Following failure messages were detected:
+ Value does not fall within the expected range.
Component Store Transaction Failure Summary
No transaction error was detected.
Then later in the log:
Error Details
Following errors were detected during this operation.
* [DATE AND TIME] System.ArgumentException
- Value does not fall within the expected range.
The installation folder, downloaded late this November, contains the following:
Another folder: RCT3 Options Editor_2_2_1_9
Application Deployment Manifest: RCT3 Options Editor.application (06.07.2006)
Application Deployment Manifest: RCT3 Options Editor_2_2_1_9.application (06.07.2006)
File: Readme.txt (says to double click on setup then click install)
Installer: Setup.exe (licensed to Microsoft, version 8.0.50727.42 modified 06/07/2006)
I’ve looked into the first folder and ran the .exe file directly (both as a regular user and as an administrator) to receive this message:
Header Bar: JohnCJ’s RCT3 Options Editor
Message: Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.
Could not find file “ROOT\Documents and Settings\USER NAME\Application Data\Atari\RCT3\options.txtâ€.
This is the same message I get with a pervious version of this application that I downloaded in March of this year. Aaccording to properties tab both these editors are version 1.0.0.0.
I have two options.txt files on my system:
• ROOT\Program Files\Atari\RollerCoaster Tycoon 3\Options.txt
• ROOT\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\Atari\RCT3\Options.txt
The file this application is looking for is not on my system. I have gone to the Documents and Settings folder to create this path just to see what happens but a search reveals the Documents and Settings folder is a system shortcut and, although an administrator on this system, I am denied access to shortcuts set up by the system for system use.
Does someone know what the problem might be? Or if there is a working options.txt editor available for download? Or if you could share how to type the information directly into the options.txt file and which file to use?
