Hero Lab v8.5 messed up 4e

Hello everyone.
This is my first post because this is the first time I have been to this site. Recently, Hero Lab updated to 8.5 and when it did, I couldn't open my 4e game system anymore. The error says: "The data files could not be loaded due to the following errors:
File: ddi_weapon_properties.aug (line 3) - Unspecified error"

I opened that file from the ProgramData as a Notepad file and 'line 3' refers to 'Energized' weapon properties.

In fact here is entire contents of this file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<document signature="Hero Lab Structure">
  <extgroup group="WepProp" tag="Energized" name="Energized"></extgroup>
  <extgroup group="WepProp" tag="Distant" name="Distant"></extgroup>
  <extgroup group="WepProp" tag="Brutal2" name="Brutal 2"></extgroup>
  <extgroup group="WepProp" tag="EmpowCrit" name="Empowered Crit"></extgroup>
  <extgroup group="WepProp" tag="Shielding" name="Shielding"></extgroup>
  <extgroup group="WepProp" tag="Stout" name="Stout"></extgroup>
  <extgroup group="WepProp" tag="Mobile" name="Mobile"></extgroup>
  <extgroup group="WepProp" tag="Brutal1" name="Brutal 1"></extgroup>
  <extgroup group="WepProp" tag="Forceful" name="Forceful"></extgroup>
  <extgroup group="WepProp" tag="Mounted" name="Mounted"></extgroup>
  <extgroup group="WepProp" tag="Blinking" name="Blinking"></extgroup>
  <extgroup group="WepProp" tag="Reaching" name="Reaching"></extgroup>
  </document>

I tried deleting the file and open it, and it at least opens the game system. I tried uninstalling Hero Lab and only installing v8.4 and it worked, but my character portfolio was corrupted and I had to delete it. At least I have a print out of it.

Any thoughts on this problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I was just coming on to ask the same thing, although I'm not so proficient with the Hero Lab editor to muck around with ProgramData :-).

Charlie

I reported this to Lone Wolf and they acknowledged it as a bug. They said there should be a fixed version of Hero Lab out around Tuesday.

Naturally, I have a 4e game Sunday  >:(  but I went into the Hero Lab downloads directory and re-installed version 8.4d for now.

Charlie

I just downloaded and installed Hero Lab 8.5a and 4e seems to be working fine now!
