Lost Toolset

birdman076 · February 2018

I'm using the head start and beam dog client, went to make a shortcut on the desktop (right click, send to, desktop shortcut) and it made the shortcut but deleted the nwtoolset.exe file. Went to re-download the head start and its giving me a message of sku already used. How does one reload if corrupted or something like this happens?

Can you try the Verify Game option from the Client?

Maybe this can also help you https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/comment/923875/#Comment_923875

Verified, found something missing, tried to reinstall and now saying insufficient permissions for the beamdog folder to reinstall...

May be a User Account Control (UAC) issue.

UAC was all good. Windows 10 FTL... always remember the first rule of Windows OS, when in doubt reboot it out.

Reboot fixed the permissions, i'd assume something was closing all the way was what windows cryptic message was referring to. Why they couldn't just say that is beyond me. Thanks for the help JuliusBorisov that did it.

Well this problem has reared its ugly head big time with the latest version. It won't even allow me to make a shortcut anymore. Every time I create one the nwtoolset.exe file disappears and I have to restart to rebuild and restore it.
