Newest version: ERROR: External component has thrown an exception.

[pabloss1]

Open Rails ran fine under the previous version (360) on my computer. Downloaded the new version and it won't run. It terminates with the message:

ERROR: External component has thrown an exception

My Computer is a:

Dell 8100 running Windows XP Home Edition w/Sp3 Pentium 4
1.25 GB of ram
Nvidia Geforce FX 5200 128mb ram video card

Is anyone else having a similar problem?

I can't think of an obvious reason for this error, but could you please attach your entire OpenRailsLog.txt file so we can take a look.

Here is a copy of the log file:

SVN V = 128

That log file says you're running V128, rather than the current release V645/V646. I'd suggest deleting the whole folder and extracting the latest version again to make sure you've only got the new files.

Thanks, I had thought I deleted the old directory then installed the new version. I deleted the directory and unzipped the new version. It works ok now.
