Discussion Thread: 'Viking Installer' - 5/3/2010

Windows installer that contains the hidbootloader.exe and the custom editor v0.82 in a windows installer package.

This will install the flashing software and our custom hex editor together and put shortcuts on your desktop. You can uninstall as well if it doesn't work or if you don't like it.

Drag and drop the files from the .ZIP file, then run either the .exe or the .msi to run the installer.

when i try to download it and open up the shortcut to VikingFlash(bootloader) it says to check for updates on windows and i cant find any about .NET Framework

[odingalt]

So long as it works I wouldn't worry about manually updating your .net framework. Is it launching or is it giving you error messages?

My wife has the same problem on windows 7 32-bit. Can you report your o/s. Also did you install by clicking the .exe or by clicking the .msi file? I gave the windows gui developer a link to this thread, the more info you can provide the better. We're having a hell of a time perfecting multiple O/S compatibility (no thanks to Microsoft). Thanks for posting, this has been one hell of a pain.

(Thing works on my 64-bit windows 7 ultimate, I am stumped. I disassembled my XP computer so not sure if that's working)
