Hi, I just bought the cloth and particle physics expansion, got my download links and downloaded it. I installed from the exe file and made sure it installed to my dbpro directory. Whilst I have an email with a registration key I was not promted for it. It does not appear to have installed correctly, as none of the examples work, just returning "cannot understand command".

I am using dbpro and the latest updates & IDE updates. It appears to have put all the files in the correct places ie editor compiler and help folders... I'm confused. Perhaps someone could clarify exactly what extra dlls should have been added to what folders so I can check tyat they are there? Thanks, Sam

When you start DBP (using the default IDE) how many plugins are listed (you can also use TGCCertificateViewer.exe in your compiler folder to see the list)? In your Dark Basic SoftwareDark Basic ProfessionalCompilercertificates folder you should have 1 file for each of them plus 1 .ini file I believe. If not then you need to run TGCOnline.exe found in your compiler folder and register all that are not working.

Thanks for the suggestions

I haven't contacted support yet, I will do if I can't by this afternoon.

When I start DBP or run the certificate viewer in 98, I get nothing, just an empty bar. When I start in XP I get an activated dbpro and an expired terrain :S Weird as I installed and activated dbpro in 98, and in XP just run exactly the same version over a network... Anyway I think somethings majorly messed up, and being that I am having weird results with some other progs I'm going to format this drive and do a new install of everything

Then if it still doesn't work, I
ll post back here with results, and contact TGC

YAY! After a clean foramt and install of everything it now works fine! I'm pretty sure te thing messing it up was the old expired version of advanced terrain which for some reason didn't clear itslef after 5.8.

Anyways, thanks! I'm gonna have fun fiddling with this
