Thread: Repair option again.....

Can someone explain this.....

The configuration file is empty or missing.
Run the installer and select the "repair" option.


It is appening all the time, I have reinstall the game many times and it does the same, and the same, and the same....And I would like to play, I've try to go to the forums to see if someone fix this but I don't think I'm going to play Lotro again in my life :'(. If there's any update I need to do please send me an mensage....

try the advice posted here
http://support.turbine.com/ics/suppo...+71+58+8+6+4+3

if this fails ill post a copy of my turbinelauncher.exe.config and turbinelauncher.exe.config once im on my gaming rig later this PM

I'm realy sorry to say this but it didn't work....I'm trying and trying and it keps shoying the same.

no worries, im not at home at the moment but ill paste a copy of the text from my 2 config files later today, if somebody else dosen beat me to it

ok here we go
backup turbineinvoker.exe.config, then open the orriginal in notepad and replace it with the following

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
    <startup>
        <requiredRuntime version="V1.1.4322" safemode="true" />
        <supportedRuntime version="V1.1.4322" />
    </startup>
    <appSettings>
        <add key="Registry.KeyName" value="LOTRO" />
        <add key="GDF.FileName" value="Lotro.gdf.dll" />
    </appSettings>
</configuration>

do the same for turbinelaucher.exe.config except replace the text with this

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
    <startup>
        <requiredRuntime version="V1.1.4322" safemode="true"/>
        <supportedRuntime version="V1.1.4322" />
    </startup>
    <appSettings>
        <add key="Launcher.DataCenterService.GLS" value="http://moria.gls.lotro.com/GLS.DataCenterServer/Service.asmx"/>

        <add key="DataCenter.GameName" value="LOTRO" />
        <add key="DataCenter.DefaultCenter" value="LOTRO" />
        <add key="Product.DocumentFolder" value="The Lord of the Rings Online"/>
        <add key="Launcher.DocumentFolder" value="Launcher"/>
    </appSettings>
  <system.net>
    <settings>
      <servicePointManager expect100Continue="false" />
    </settings>
  </system.net>
</configuration>

It show's the same thing, and I still can't open the game, do you have the high version or the standart? I've the standart...

im running the highres version, but those config files dont realy care which texture files you may or may not have installed

ok then try this
browse to
C:\Users\[your logon]\AppData\ Local\Turbine\The Lord of the Rings Online\Launcher\

note: some of these are hidden folders, you either need to enable hidden files and folders or try the following

Code:

(vista\w7)
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Turbine\The Lord of the rings online\Launcher

cut and paste the text into either start > search\run, my computer address bar or the IE address bar

you should see 3 XML files
Downloadfilelist.xml
LauncherUsersettings.xml
reqsoftware.xml
delete all 3 and test lotro again

I don't have that folder -.-' why I don't have it?

which version of windows are you using? XP?

if your using Vista\w7 the folder is hidden, cut and paste the %userprofle% bit and this will bypas that little problem
open control pannel
select folder options
select the view tab
click to move the spot into show hidden files and folders

if your using XP the folder can be found here
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Turbine\The Lord of the Rings Online\Launcher

Code:

%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Turbine\The Lord of the Rings Online\Launcher

youll need to enable hidden files and folders, again if you cut and past this into either the my computer address bar or IE address should open the correct folder for you
open my computer and click ok the file menu
select tools > folder options
select the view tab
click to move the spot into show hidden files and folders

Two things, when you installed did you use a 'custom' install folder path and if so was it installed into "C:\Program Files" instead of "C:\Program Files (x86)". You can get this error if you install LOTRO (which is 32bit) into the 64bit version of Program Files and not the 32bit version ("Program Files (x86)").

Also, did you make a desktop shortcut accidentally moving 'turbinelauncher.exe.conifg' (which will display as 'turbinelauncher.exe' with hide known file extensions enabled) or 'turbineinvoker.exe.config' to the desktop?

If so move the file back into the games installation folder and use the steps in this kb article to make a desktop shortcut to launch from instead.

If it ends up being neither of those I'd recommend following up with a tech support request here.

I've reinstall the game and it's not working it show's the same error.
