Hey guys, its me again, this time, when i look in my contrib folder, then i go to extractor, i see the ad file. it doesnt say .exe, so i rename it ad.exe

i put it in my wow folder and try to run it, but it gives me an error

"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, then contact the software publisher."

So i check my system, and for System type, it says "64-bit Operating System"

What did i do wrong?

Much Appreciation, Thanks!

Just for clarity, are you opening/running "mangosdVC90.sln"? If so, have you tried 'cleaning' the solution before building it?

I have done both of those, I've also tried it multiple times

EDIT: Whoops, Turns out ive been running the wrong file, i was running VC90, not mangosdVC90.

Sorry for the noobishness

and thanks Extinct!

Hello there, great guide by the way, I am very new to the world of compiling and running my own private server.

I am at the part of the guide where i need to compile MaNGOS. In the part where it says-

-Go to your Mangos compile folder, then into the "win" folder

-Open the "VC80.sln" file, or for 2008 users "VC90.sln"

-Click "Build" in the menu and select "Configuration Manager"

-Click "Release" in the drop down box for "Active Solution Configuration"

-The "Active Solution Platform" should be set to "Win32"

-Then, click "Build" in the menu and select "Build Solution"

-If you get any errors, click "Build" in the menu and select "Clean Solution", then restart the compile

-Note: this WILL take a long time - You might get some warning messages...If you do, don't worry about it, it's normal

I see my VC90.sln folder, I opened with Visual Studios C++, I make sure it says everything is correct (i.e It says Release in the drop down box for Active Solution Configuration, The platform is set to Win32), I click Build->Build Solution. As you said it will take a long time. But for some reason, it takes like 2 seconds. I get this in the output
