CSE crash when attempting to open scripts

[QuiteTheTail]

I get a horrible (visual studio?) message box with Abort, Ignore, Retry buttons and something about a "Nullptr == Workspace" (sorry, that's all I can remember). Regardless of the choice, the CSE program terminates. Probably my C++ redist package has changed lately, because it worked fine until recently.

Yea.  Something is tanked.  Try uninstalling and reinstalling the CSE.  If that fails.........not sure what to tell you.

Yeah that is what I usually have to do if the CK/CS starts crashing might of been a update or something messed it up. Uninstalling and then reinstalling always fixed the problem.

Will do. Many thanks.

I installed version 7.1 over Visual C++ for Visual Studio 2015, and everything is alright now.

The only odd thing I notice, is the lack of sintax highlighting in the script editor, it was there in 7.0

Could be that I'm using the alternate executable (to get the OS look & feel for windows and icons)?

I must check.

An important update.

I had to rollback to version 7.0 after noticing a few problems. The missing sintax highlighting was probably a symptom that the installation wasn't succesful. A slight modification to the bashed patch to correct the item 00045E0D (an enchanted orcish cuirass, the female version was wrongly associated to chainmail) crippled the loading mechanism, couldn't load my last savegame. In addition, I had some strange warnings about duplicate items.

After the rollback to 7.0 everything is back to normal, my edit lasted, I can load my last savegame and sintax highlighting is back.

I can edit scripts now (my initial concern).
