Windows installer that contains the hidbootloader.exe and the custom editor v0.82 in a windows installer package.

This will install the flashing software and our custom hex editor together and put shortcuts on your desktop. You can uninstall as well if it doesn't work or if you don't like it.

Drag and drop the files from the .ZIP file, then run either the .exe or the .msi to run the installer.

So long as it works I wouldn't worry about manually updating your .net framework. Is it launching or is it giving you error messages?

My wife has the same problem on windows 7 32-bit. Can you report your o/s. Also did you install by clicking the .exe or by clicking the .msi file? I gave the windows gui developer a link to this thread, the more info you can provide the better. We're having a hell of a time perfecting multiple O/S compatibility (no thanks to Microsoft). Thanks for posting, this has been one hell of a pain.

(Thing works on my 64-bit windows 7 ultimate, I am stumped. I disassembled my XP computer so not sure if that's working)

After you put controller into programming mode, and plug it into the computer, you will be able to click open game which means open .hex file. The .hex file can be from any of the files off our download drivers page or the .hex file you can create using the custom hex editor.

Special note on how dropshot mode works now:
-When in dropshot mode on the Odin's Raven, the right tac switch controls dropshot (B button). When you are in dropshot mode and dropshot mode is turned on, you'll notice that you cannot use the right tac switch to change or toggle modes. Instead, you must first hold button A then tap or hold the right tac switch to change or toggle modes. Once dropshot is turned off, or you are in another mode, you can go back to using the right tac switch as normal - don't have to hold button A first.
-When in dropshot mode on the Thor's Hammer, the B button controls dropshot.
-Unfortunately people using the control layout where the right thumbstick is the prone/raise button, we will never be able to configure dropshot for your configuration. The Viking controllers can sense when you press right thumbstick, but it can't press the right thumbstick for you.
