Going to start a new map using this.

Reserving this thread for feedback. I'll tell you how it goes. Note
that I don't have that much time to keep on top of recent discussions,
so if I mention things already brought up, let me know.

Did you download & install Starcraft from the Blizzard Store? My guess is that newer SC versions use the HKCU keys rather than the HKLM keys, and so if you never had an old version installed, you won't have the HKLM keys.

Heim: Starforge should use the HKCU keys in preference to the HKLM keys, but should look in both.

Go into regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ and right click on Blizzard Entertainment and click Permissions. Add an entry for your user and give it Full Control.

This is, however, a bug that needs to be fixed.

Actually this is the same copy of Starcraft I've had since... god
knows how long.

I may have used a few no-CD cracks along the way and lugged it around
by hand across my previous computers a few times, though. :P

Ah, well if you copied it after 1.15.2 and you didn't copy the registry entries with it, then that would have the same result.

[Jon Cable]

You can fix this by generating the keys yourself. This exception is
actually a result of SF trying to do just that. Perhaps try running
the program as administrator (right-click)?

Also, I just got this when I clicked on the brush bucket thing under
the terrain widget:

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

The application must also be compiled with debugging

<configuration>

</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

(My previous message didnt show up?)


It works now that I used Run as Administrator. Forgot about that
one. Thanks.

Ugh. The problem is even worse. _Nothing_ appears to work without
either an exception or unresponsiveness. Save the Player Settings
menu.
