 C++ Runtime Library error

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone has run into this error before? I'm trying to run Exult on Windows 7 Ultimate (patched and up to date blah blah blah) and every time I try to run the executable I get an error to the tune of:

Assertion failed!

Program: ...\Exult.exe
File: conf/Configuration.cc
Line: 154

Expression: s[nn]=='<'

...


I've tried both the latest (2012-07-06) snapshot, and 1.4.9rc1, with the same results.

I also have a bunch of MS C++ libraries installed, cause I use visual studio 2010 for development. I'm almost tempted to compile my own version, but I'm feeling a little lazy at this point :P

Any clues?

Also, I forgot to mention that it's a 64bit version of Windows 7, if that makes any difference.

that's odd. I know for sure that the rc1 works fine on my W7 64bit.
Can you try nuking everything related to Exult including Program Files folder and the userspace stuff (for the save game and cfg locations see http://exult.sourceforge.net/docs.php#path_config_nt5) and install fresh?

This means that exult.cfg is probably broken.

Yeah, it was totally the exult.cfg that was broken. It turns out that my problem was that I was installing Exult, then the All in One soundpack straight away. I nuked everything, installed Exult fresh, ran it once, then installed the soundpack and everything was fine and dandy.

Might be worth mentioning somewhere that you need to run Exult at least once before trying to install anything else additional like sound packs etc.

Thanks for the help though!

Wow, now that I think about it I'm pretty sure I've always run the game once to make sure it installed correctly before I tried to install the sounds and mods...

Hmm, the sounpacks shouldn't matter since it's just putting the sound files somewhere and not messing with exult's config.
Got to try this out ;)
