Skyline latest release won't run win 7

[materene]

Sorry guys, it does not run on my machine, I haven't had much luck running this engine either on my old XP or win 7 32-bit. It says an error message was generated giving the temp location in appdata but there is nothing there, I don't think it is writing the information, Not spending a lot of time I looked at the startup config file and it says it is using directx9, my machine is running directx11, changed the files and saved still nothing, don't even get an error box again. I think you're not reading my serial number issued but I can't say for sure. Here is the direct x info maybe it will help to sort it out.

Below are the skyline render settings.

we are running on Windows 7 64 bit, currently there is no support of XP unless its asked for as its something that we will be depreciating with all the new OS appearing.
V0-9-0 Skyline is currently working on successfully for other users on: "win 7 32/64bit", "win 8", "win 8.1".
Win XP will work on request.

You could try clearing out the registry entries.
As always, backup your registry first then.

> Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Aurasoft.
> Delete the Aurasoft folder, this will clear all license issues out and reset the editor settings.
> Now load skyline, what exactly goes wrong?

Clearing the registry out fixed it for another user, so it might work for you.

This is win 7 32-bit, I tried running the earlier versions on XP and never had any luck with persistent crashing inside the terrain module, I gave up on it. I'll try the registry clearing, I believe I had updated my display drivers earlier and this morning I was having an issue with 3ds Max 2012 so after reading up on that I found the problem was actually in 2010 and the service packs were not up to date, but I did go back and roll back the display driver so I haven't tried that with skyline. I'll give it another shot and also see if I can't find the error text that is supposed to be writing. I can't think of any reason it shouldn't run on this machine, if it persist I'll move to the 64 bit version on my other machine.

OK. I cleared the registry and re installed and this is what I now get, it does try to load now but this clock error is what I now have, note the only thing different from last evening when I tried is this Nvidia driver rollback, the one loaded when I got the error and no start was 347.25 desktop 32-bit vista win 7 win 8 etc, I am back to 327 which is of course several releases back from the latest. Here is the clock error prompt... my clock setting is fine nothing wrong with it unless your trying to read Merry Ole England time ;0)

:mod edit:
I have removed the screenshot so as to keep your reactivated spare serial key safe from outside use now that solarportal has seen and hopefully resolved the issue. keep screenshots like this to pm message for safety purposes.

Ok, the time problem is due to merry old England time lol, I can change this in your license file.
Looks like the registry for private testers might need cleaned for the later releases. Thanks.

I have edited your license to start a day before, so it should load now.
I also noticed that it was activated twice by the same machine, so i removed one. This way you can activate it once more on another machine.

i will check out the newer drivers from nvidia, to see if they cause an error with skyline.

All is well in Merry Ole England now, I ran it this morning with no problems, I thought maybe just a good nights sleep was what made it work. I guess we can delete the image above with my email and serial ;0)

One of the moderators have already removed the images, for security reasons.
