ad.exe doesn't work

[wolverine]

I've followed all the instructions in the guide in the Wiki for setting up a M3 server but when I get to ad, it just bombs for no reason at all. I have a enUS version of the client which has been regenerated and I start up ad.exe and within a few seconds, it crashes and that is that.

Here's the output, perhaps someone can help me...?

Mon Jul 20 14:15:10 MDT 2015: Start extracting data for MaNGOS
DBC and map files will be extracted
Vmaps will be extracted
Mmaps will be extracted with 4 processes


Mon Jul 20 14:15:11 MDT 2015: Start extracting data for MaNGOS, DBCs/maps 1, vma
ps 1, mmaps 1 on 4 processes


Mon Jul 20 14:15:11 MDT 2015: Start extraction of DBCs and map files...

And for what it's worth, I have tried this with both 4 processes and 1 and got the same result. It just up and stops and there is no error or anything.

A noob question: have you placed the ad.exe in wow client root folder (where there is wow.exe)?

Did you run it as administrator?

I've an old copy of this tool that i've used some month ago and worked for me... if you want i can send it to you by PM...

The problem was caused by an incomplete client, has since been resolved
