  1. There is no such folder, unfortunately. So the crash is before the logger class is instantiated (if such thing exists).
  2. I've just managed to make CCConfig.exe open. What I had to do was just disable any KernelEX extension to it. Do cncnet5.exe generates a stacktrace? where is it located?
  3. It shows me: "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation", and then crashes with: "Application has generated an exception that could not be handled. Process ID=0xfffe0d05, ThreadID=0xffe14c59. Click OK to terminate the application. Click CANCEL to debug the application." I thought that was the original configuration tool provided by westwood, thus I did not bother testing it
  4. Well, that is sad. Worms Armageddon still works online even on Windows 98. There is something that comes to my mind right now is that if the compiler somehow generated i686 code. Since my machine has an AMD K6-2 CPU, which is only i586 compatible, the application would crash because the CPU can not decode some instruction. This is just a guess, but a recompile with the correct flags may work? Anyway, sorry to disturb you guys. I thought it would be great if CnCNet kept compatibility with the hardware the original games were built for.
  5. Oh, yeah. I forgot to mention. I have dotnet2 installed, and I can run 'CCConfigFull.exe' that is written in C# with dotnet2.
  6. Merry Xmas! So I have a retro gaming computer running Windows 98SE and, as expected, CnCNet won't run on it. I would like to try to at least make it launch in such machine and perhaps add little support to this system, but I have no access to cncnet5 sourcecode (can't find it in github. It is not opensource?). What works (only tested with Tiberian Dawn): The installer works flawlessly cnc95.exe CCConfigFull.exe What does not work: cncnet5.exe The cncnet5.exe crashes with the following message: "Application has generated an exception that could not be handled. Process ID=0xffe1fde7, Thread ID=0xffe04b3f. Click OK to terminate the application. Click CANCEL to debug the application" Well, I'm no C# developer but what I've read so far is that there is a subset of dotnet2 that supports Win98 and the last Microsoft C# VisualStudio supporting such system is VS2005. Perhaps I can try to compile the project in this environment and say if I continue or give up. Thank you for the attention. It is a funny request, actually :-)
