I can't get the new version (2.6.0.2) to work. It keeps telling me I need .NET v4.7.2 but that version doesn't work for me, I'm on Windows 7 64bit. Auto updating my current version (2.6.0.1) does nothing, so what do I have to do to get updated to the newer version?

 Just an aside..   Win7 goes end of life with no more security updates in not that much time, I'd seriously consider upgrading.  (because unpatched stuff gets owned)

Created an issue for this on your behalf

  Hint:  (mostly for others creating issues)  If you provide a LINK to the issue you created the person can check on it to monitor progress, or (with a github account, free) can make additions to the issue to clarify what's going on, etc.  I went looking but see only one issue there newer than the one I created, and it's not about this.  

I do see one new issue, re the mastermind bot shield thing  https://github.com/ImaginaryDevelopment/imaginary-hero-designer/issues/57  which was created a few minutes ago by SmalltaklJava

Oh wait,  found it!  it's already closed!  (impressive!)  https://github.com/ImaginaryDevelopment/imaginary-hero-designer/issues/58   So you not only submitted the issue, you committed a fix and made a pull request for it, excellent!   wish my C# was not like around 20 years rusty at this point. 

 

Is not being able to edit the DB a known issue, or is there some trick to doing that?   Seemed like an easy way to self-fix #56 but I couldn't get edits to stick or make a difference

Click to install, says error reading target directory, no matter where I try to install it to.

Did that to me also after I created a new directory to locate the program in, I just went back and re-selected the newly created directory and it worked.  was annoying having to pick the install location twice but meh worked after the second attempt.

The smart-screen thing is windows trying to protect you from 'unknown' programs that have not been cryptographically 'signed' to indicate the author.  That's something which could be done, but it's a bit of a hassle and expense to get certificates and then use them to 'sign' the program.  Generally installing unsigned stuff is a bad idea (you've no idea who 'really' made the thing) as it could be malware pretending to be an update to a utility you use, etc.  In this case we're pretty sure of the programs origin, there's multiple folks here that have likely looked over the code (c# ugh, well at least it's not java 😉) and 'know' as best as anyone can that it's safe.    So if you get that screen, click on the more info link and there's a choice to go ahead and install anyway.   (IMHO answering the single exception when it happens like this for something you trust is much safer than turning that feature OFF entirely..   Disabling security features is the kind of thing that leads to people and cities getting their data held ransom.

Did the glitch with Rad Armor for Brutes not displaying Beta Decay not having the correct enhancements available or with Cold def/resist not displaying correctly ever get addressed?

not as far as I can tell.

 

Created an issue for it https://github.com/ImaginaryDevelopment/imaginary-hero-designer/issues/56

 

I tried to fix it myself by using the db editor function to edit that power to add those enhancments, but it seems like the edits don't get saved, or something else as that doesn't make a difference, and also if I go back into the db editor I don't see the changes made earlier.
