    UsingPAMM3, I have a significant issue where I can't see my installed mods, so I can't *uninstall* them, because the page never refreshes.


    Edit: Possibly that's because automatic updating once again failed :(

    Could we have a "open mods location" button please?
    Maybe in settings or something hidden away.

    Before I push it out to everyone, here's the installer for the new version - let me know if you have any issues:
    http://pa.raevn.com/PAMM_v3.2.0.exe

    Changes:
    • Supports live_game_econ & live_game_hover scenes
    • Added "PA Mods Location" to settings, along with a button to open the folder
    • Added "Load Mod Likes" setting. When off, the like count for mods will not be determined or displayed.
    • Fixed a bug with Mod Likes not appearing after finished loading (occurred when an invalid forum URL was given)
    • Text for install/reinstall & update should now correctly refresh

    I get .net script errors for nearly every function.
    Stuff like "OpenModsLocation"
    And "LoadOptions" are the errors I get upon launching, I can't even use this, before the update, it was working perfect for me. Uninstalled latest microsoft .net framework 4.51 x64, installed again, same stuff. So...

    PAMM doesn't use .NET - can you take a screenshot of the error you get?
    Does PAMM show at all? Are you able to open the log?

    I'll take a screenshot, and sorry I was under the full impression that it used .net.
    This happens as soon as I launch it: Edit - I can't post links cause I'm a "new" user, it was to imgur.
    Then when I attempt to hit anything else, throws me more errors.
    It's really annoying, no offense, it's probably something with my computer or something. As before the latest update to the program itself it has never done this.
    And where's the log? Btw - I've unistalled, restarted my pc, installed again, but to no avail.

    EDIT - By any chance, does it use java because of the .json files? Sorry, I'm quite stupid, it could be a update needed for java if so.

    no, json files are for javascript and no java is needed.

    That's what I figured. I don't know what's wrong, then.

    PAMM uses IE. Could the .net errors be coming from IE?

    Just post the part of the link to imgur after the first forward slash (/) - I can use that to get to it.

    The Log is the button between Settings & Available Mods, if you are able to see it (you may not, depending on the error).

    Didn't even think of that, it's /6Sh3xLB
    I can click on the log button, but nothing shows up...
    Thanks in advance.

    A few things to try:
    • Ensure PAMM isn't blocked (see the first post)
    • Check if Norton is doing anything - try disabling it temporarily, then try opening PAMM
    • Check your security settings in IE, did they change between when you last installed PAMM and this version?

    Just tried norton, did nothing.
    When I try to unblock the file, it never gives me the option to do it, it just opens PAMM.
    I never use IE, chrome's my main browser, so I guess nothing should've changed.

    You'll only see the unblock option if you right click on PAMM.hta and select properties, not when you open PAMM. This depends on your settings though, it may not be blocked.

    PAMM is actually a web page with additional windows scripting. It doesn't use your default browser though, it always uses IE to render the web page (I can't change this, because it's actually runs through a separate program built into windows - MSHTA).

    Try lowering the security in Internet Options temporarily - put them all the way down for both Internet & Local Intranet, then try opening PAMM again. Make sure you put them back again afterwards, and don't browse other sites while it's set low.

    Sadly, that still didn't work. Is there anything else to try, and could it be something wrong with IE or MSHTA on my computer? As I said, before the update none of this happened, so some files may be corrupted?

    For now, try re-installing the previous version::http://pa.raevn.com/PAMM_v3.1.2.exe
    When it says there is a new version available, just cancel the update. Let me know if the old version continues to work.

    A virus will often screw with internet explorer and cause errors. I bet cleaning that up could get your PAMM running again.

    Also, your antivirus might be detecting that IE is infected and trying to open and download files (which is what pamm does).
