Problem installing new bases.

Hi guys, great stuff you have going here, but I have one problem. (I hope this is the right place to ask.)

I have my GB64 and Speccymania set up and working fine, but i'm having problems with the BBC v04, and Introbase.

I'm using Gamebase v1.3.

When I try to use Introbase or BBC gamebase, I get prompted to update the database, I click yes, and get presented with the following -

Gamebase needs to update your database to version 2.8

I click Yes to continue, I then get presented with this error-

Error updating database! Your database maybe corrupt!

[Error in loading DLL (48,0)]

Could anybody help me out please?

This error is due to the gamebase /introbase being made on a Beta version of v1.3 or v1.2.

to fix your problem you need to install Gamebase v1.3 full (23 Nov 2010).

there are several beta versions of gamebase with the (full) filename, just get the latest version from here.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/gamebase/files/gamebase/v1.3/

once you run your gamebases in that, it will fix them.

I just tried this, but it didn't help.

Any other ideas?

Did you uninstall all other versions of gamebase you might have installed v1.2, v1.3 beta, before installing the new one.

it is also recommended to have the install of gamebase at c:\gamebase\.
Not in PROGRAM FILES, external drives or secondary partitions.

i could post working versions of the mdb files, but that would not solve your problem in the long term.
reinstalling gamebase v1.3 full (not the update) will.

you can also use scan and fix errors from the gamebase tool box, which will update the mdb files to v1.3.
but again you will need v1.3 full installed.

This is exactly what I did, uninstalled all Gamebase, and installed the latest full version from the link you gave.

The only thing I didn't do was the the scan/fix part. I will try this when I get home.

Thanks for your help btw.

if that fails... you have a corrupt install.

zip and upload the 2 mdb files to www.datafilehost.com
and i will update them for you.

Just tried to scan/fix, but still no luck.

If you can get this working for me, I will be over the moon.

Edit: I tried posting the link, but I don't have enough forum posts to post links. I just sent you a PM with the link.
