Grognak's Mod Manager v1.7 (Updated March 6, 2013!)

[Tassyr]

Soooo. I poked around in the massive ball of posts that this thing has collected- and still haven't figured this one out.

Despite having installed python three times...

"No supported version of Python found on this system. Download python 2.7.3 at: http://www.python.org/getit/

Press enter to continue."

So. How do I get modman to realise that it -IS- installed on this computer, and it needs to actually do more than sit in a corner and sulk?

And before anyone says "Just use main.py..." I can't. I click it, it flashes real fast, then I get this:

2013-06-07 01:10:17 ERROR: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Program Files (x86)\FTL\main.py", line 72, in <module>

See this post.

Then run main.py.

I think your resource.dat claims to be larger than it is. And GMM is trying to read something beyond the end of the file, then panics when it can't find anything.

See the post about corruption.

I installed the file but when I try to open it it gives me another zip file and when I open that it clones the second file. I may just be missing something obvious but I can't find it and I really want to play with some of the mods, please help

I don't understand the bold parts.
Please elaborate.

He's not using GMM but WinZip or some such?

I installed version 2.75 of python, and i double clicked on main.py and a command prompt breifly flashed before closing. Then a box popped up that said "Some files extracted from Grognaks mod manager v1.7 win32.zip were modified or new files were created... Do you wish to add them to the archive?" this happens everytime

Do not double-click files inside WinZip/WinRAR/7-Zip/etc.
What you see in archiver apps is merely a peek at the zip's contents.

Extract everything to a real folder first. Then run main.py from there.
