Reinstalled the game yesterday, applied patch 1, patch 2, Co8-5.0.0, 5.0.1, 5.0.2. Started the game and everything went ok playing the Co8-module. Today I can't start the Frontend properly. First I got two error messages about folder being used by another program which is just plain wrong. Deleted the ini-file and gotthe Frontend to start. However the very second I select the Co8-module the Frontend crashes with this error message: --------------------------- See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box. ************** Exception Text ************** System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path "Frontend\sound\cave_short.mp3". at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String str) at System.IO.File.Move(String sourceFileName, String destFileName) at TempleFrontend.Form1.Modules_SelectedIndexChanged(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.ListBox.OnSelectedIndexChanged(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.ListBox.WmReflectCommand(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ListBox.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ControlNativeWindow.OnMessage(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam) ************** Loaded Assemblies ************** mscorlib Assembly Version: 1.0.5000.0 Win32 Version: 1.1.4322.2032 CodeBase: file:///c:/windows/microsoft.net/framework/v1.1.4322/mscorlib.dll ---------------------------------------- TempleFrontend Assembly Version: 1.0.2304.37992 Win32 Version: 1.0.2304.37992 CodeBase: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Atari/Temple%20of%20Elemental%20Evil/TempleFrontend.exe ---------------------------------------- System.Windows.Forms Assembly Version: 1.0.5000.0 Win32 Version: 1.1.4322.2032 CodeBase: file:///c:/windows/assembly/gac/system.windows.forms/1.0.5000.0__b77a5c561934e089/system.windows.forms.dll ---------------------------------------- System Assembly Version: 1.0.5000.0 Win32 Version: 1.1.4322.2032 CodeBase: file:///c:/windows/assembly/gac/system/1.0.5000.0__b77a5c561934e089/system.dll ---------------------------------------- System.Drawing Assembly Version: 1.0.5000.0 Win32 Version: 1.1.4322.2032 CodeBase: file:///c:/windows/assembly/gac/system.drawing/1.0.5000.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a/system.drawing.dll ---------------------------------------- ************** JIT Debugging ************** To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this application or machine (machine.config) must have the jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.

That the Frontend folder is empty sounds like the problem. I think the reason it is empty is because of the first crash. Most likely some other app (like an anti-virus app) was accessing the ToEE root directory. Unfortunately, the only solution I know of for an empty Frontend folder is a complete wipe and reinstall. The good new is that you can most likely save and reuse your saved games.
No, he shouldn't have. It probably wouldn't hurt (much) but there is no reason to apply 5.0.1 if you are going to apply 5.0.2. It still wouldn't have caused the Front End issue though.
