[Landrat]

Basic issue resolved

Additional info. I am using Windows 8.1 and have tried, Ruby 2.2.1, 2.1.6, and, 2.0.0. With the Ruby 2.0.0 version it downloaded Sqlite3 and other programs, but will still not open the Stormfront and game.

I now get this message in the logs.

I have Lich running on an 8.1 VM. Is your Ruby 2.0.0 install 32-bit? (64-bit is not supported). Any version above Ruby 2.0.x may not work and I just helped a friend with the SQLite loop from inappropriately using 2.2.1. I'd uninstall the other versions of ruby is you have not already and ensure your system is setup to use 2.0 for rbw and rb files.

Everything downloaded again, using Ruby 2.0.0 32 bit and Lich 4.6.22, No loop, but still not right, but much closer.
at sign in I got this as an error.

Master Tillmen any ideas? I really feel like I'm close. I can log in through the web and in the SGE, but I really do like the convenience of Lich.

Latest attempt with fresh downloads of everything gives me this.

Okay I still have no idea. I went through the explorer and erased all references to Simu, Lich, Ruby, and after reloading everything this is what I got.

When the frontend won't connect (first and third logs), that's usually some sort of weird UAC related issue. On two systems with the same version of Windows/Ruby/Lich/Simustuff/UACsettings/etc, it seems to affect one system but not the other. Windows is all mysterious like that. The second log seems to show you solved that problem (before bringing it back), and at that point it looked like a firewall issue, or possibly an unreliable internet connection with terrible timing.
