I was trying to open the RO editor on my PC this morning. Windows does not recognize the application. I have Windows VISTA. When I click on the editor icon VISTA tells me it can't open the file, and it wants me to select a program to open the editor with. Please see attached.



Anyone else have similar problems? Is there a way to open the editor on a system using Vista -- or is Vista unrelated to my problem?

Thanks very much for any help.

Thnx much. I was going off of the instructions in the SDK pdf manual. It just says click on the editor in the systems folder (pg6). I clicked on every file with editor in the name. No luck.

For posterity in case there is another numbskull like myself that encounters the same problem, the SDK Manual probably should say the editor needs to be installed first ;) I presumed it was automatically installed when you install the game. Silly me. :)

Install the editor via clicking on TOOLS in the Steam Window Client. Than install the editor. Than -- as Drax says -- open the editor from the Steam window client casue it doesn't open from any of the editor files in systems folder.

Thanks for your help guys. I can now open the SDK Beta Editor.
