+8Nuts MotherGoose Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I was trying to set up my laptop to play “Play Anywhere” cartridges . I do not own any “smart” phone or other advanced equipment. Anything you can offer to assist getting this working would be helpful. I installed the Wherigo builder on my Laptop. When I open the emulator, I get an error message. It says, “Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue.[i tried, computer did nothing] If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.[Yep, Builder shut down] An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)” When I click Details, it shows: See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box. ************** Exception Text ************** System.BadImageFormatException: An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

Ranger Fox Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Sorry for the late reply. I thought someone else would handle this. Do you still have a problem? Have you installed the two patches for the builder and emulator? Are you getting this error on every cartridge you try? Are you trying to open a GWC (compiled cartridge) or a cartridge currently loaded in the builder? I can at least see you're running Windows 7 SP1 and your computer is 64-bit. Quote Link to comment

I was not aware of two patches for the Builder and Emulator. Where do I learn more? I start the Wherigo builder on my Laptop. When I click on Emulator, I get the error message before anything else happens. I assumed that once the Emulator opened, it would ask for the cartridge file that I wanted to run. Since that never happened, I was lost. Quote Link to comment
+Two Tykes Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I'm trying to install Download Wherigo Builder for Windows (Alpha)from http://www.Wherigo.com/builder/download.aspx to my PC, of which I am the only user. All I see is an error message "The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation" How can I get round that, please? Quote Link to comment

All I see is an error message "The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation" How can I get round that, please? Either you're on an Active Directory domain or you're not the admin of that computer. It looks like a policy issue is set in place against the installation of software--unless you're not logged in as an admin account on that computer. If you run into problems installing Urwigo or any other software as well, that's your issue right there. Earwigo and Wherigo\\kit, two web-based builder applications, are still available to you. If you want something full-featured, go with Earwigo. Quote Link to comment
+Two Tykes Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Many thanks, Mr Fox: I don't understand much of what you say but I am the only user of my PC and just switch it on when I want to use it. I've not had bother loading any software in the past, and can load Earwigo, Urwigo and Wherigo/kit without bother. It's just the GS Wherigo that won't install. I started looking at the Earwigo introduction, loaded the test cartridge but then got stuck as it wants me to go into Wherigo Emulator - but I can't load Wherigo...... Quote Link to comment
+Two Tykes Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I've checked the System Configuration on my PC and I am the only user, and an "administrator". Try as I might I cannot load Wherigo Builder as I keep getting the same error message. I've not got much hair but I'm pulling out the little that is left to me! Quote Link to comment
+Two Tykes Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Glad to say I've sorted the problem. All I needed to do was go into User Account Control Settings - "Choose when to be notified about changes to your computer" and set that to "Never Notify". Ah well - perhaps I'm NOT too old to learn new tricks after all! Quote Link to comment
+Two Tykes Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Have you installed the two patches for the builder and emulator? Where do I find these, please? I've got the Builder working, I think, but trying to open the emulator just gives me an error message. Quote Link to comment

I started this post back in September and never got the answer when the same question was asked of me. Quote Link to comment
Ranger Fox Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 That's odd. When I made that post and used the words "two patches", I had hyperlinks on both of them. Let's try this again: two patches. I can fall out of contact at times because of work, both of the full-time variety and what I'm doing on the side. If that happens, the best thing to do is to remind me a few days later, such as by making another post. Quote Link to comment
+Two Tykes Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I think I've got it now. By hell - that was a lesson in perseverance. I just hope everything now works properly. Full marks to Groundspeak for their continued non-support of their software! Quote Link to comment
