New version crashing

[Sir Ralen]

Hello!

I recently returned to CoH and downloaded the new Mid's.
However, when I try to run the program it crashes.

This is what I know:

my event log is telling me it's a .net runtime error
I updated to the most recent .net with windows updater, the .exe from the coh planner page didn't work.

I'm guessing something is wrong with my .net so I'll peruse the internet and try to find a solution, but any input would be great!

Thanks for reading,
Sir Ralen

take a screenshot of the error and post if it if you will, it might help determine fault.

Event description:
EventType clr20r3, P1 hero designer.exe, P2 1.7.1.0, P3 4be83e6f, P4 hero designer, P5 1.7.1.0, P6 4be83e6f, P7 23, P8 c6, P9 system.invalidoperationexception, P10 NIL.

I don't know how to read event gobbledygook

When the program crashes it doesn't give me an error type popup, it just gives me a 'send data to microsoft so we can validate your OS again' window.

For some reason my screenshot(s) of therror didn't work out, but the following is a C&P of the error message:

Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

Year, Month, and Day parameters describe an un-representable DateTime.

Opening the 'Details' box gives the following information:

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Clicking on Continue does nothing, just retains the same box.
