Sounds like you're using the wrong boxserver version. Make sure you use the one from this post: [RunUO 2.0 RC1] Pandora's Box / BoxServer

If this works let me know and I will create a new thread with the cleaned up information from the Box server post and this one.

This is a version of the Beta7 for Pandora's Box (Pandora's Box 2Beta7-2.zip.) This has all of the files found in this thread packed into one zip. To use this update install Pandora's box 2 beta 5 then unzip this file into your program files directory. When asked to overwrite the files choose yes to all.
*Note: I built this assuming you performed a default install.

Don't forget you need to check the box that says "Server uses SHA1 hashing" in the client. This is found under the Tools tab, click the Options button, and finally the Server tab. Pandora get the account info from runuo.


If you have used Pandora beta 5 or 6 don't forget you need to delete your Pandora profile.
This is found at the following location.
Cocuments and SettingsYOURuserNAMEApplication DataPandora's Box 2Profiles
Now delete every thin in this folder.

Delete all of your old short cuts and create new ones.
To do this goto C:Program FilesPandoras box 2
right click on Pandora.exe and choose send to desktop.
Launch the app and create a new profile.

Good Luck and Enjoy.
-Rap

I just updated the file again at 12:43 AM ET. Cleaned up the empty folders the old one made.

Thx work Great For me ! :)))!!! many thx!

[smokified]

I have in an issue with Box Server also. It is a fresh install of the server, pandora and box server. I am using the proper version for RunUO 2.0. I am able to establish a link between a remote computer and the box server, but I am not actually allowed to login becaue it tells me my credentials are invalid.

Does anyone know of a way to fix or modify the authentication process with box server so that I am allowed to login to it?

I am logged into my UO server as the owner, I attempt to login to BoxServer with pandora and an error is returned saying something about not having the correct credentials.

[Mad Clown]

i got the box server to work all is fine i connect but i still cant view TOKUNO maps please help me im lost

I'm getting this error when I try to install. Any help?

[Callandor2k]

Has anyone got this working under XP Pro x64? I cannot seem to get it to work. Although I have not gone through the task of re compiling from the source. Has anyone else and had any success? 2.0.0.5 works but cannot get 2.0.0.7 to work at all.

[HellRazor]

Compiles and works for me on Vista Ultimate 64.

One thing tho is that when you run it, the profile window tends to pop up in the background when you load it up, and it sits there in the background waiting for user input, so without the window being visible it looks like the program isn't running when it is. Just scroll through your windows using the little icon in the lower left corner and you'll see it.

There might also be possible issues with ultima.dll since Windows 64 bit operating systems change the way registry entries are stored, and ultima.dll uses a registry entry to determine where UO is loaded. That is fairly easy to fix in the ultima.dll source tho. I haven't messed with Pandora's Box enough yet to know if this is an issue or not, but I know it has been on a few other utilities that use ultima.dll.

[HellRazor]

Oh yeah, I'm not positive but you might need the .NET framework v1.1. That one doesn't come with Windows Vista (not sure about Windows XP 64).

[Callandor2k]

I fixed my problem. I deleted the Pandora.exe.manifest file and it loaded up perfectly.

[Callandor2k]

Well scratch that. It started up and created my profile and worked for one start up. But when I closed it, it would open but could only see it running in the Windows Task Manager. It will not run at all if I have the pandora.exe.manifest file in it's directory unless it is the original 2.0.0.5 version. Any clues on how to fix this?

[MacGoerk]

Actually yes.
This is a problem with custom client folders.

Even if you do choose the location of Ultima Online, Pandora won't load those entries. I've done a Debug Trace of PB a while ago. The code parts which would access the custom folders config are just left out. They are only loaded into memory if you create a new profile.

Therefore be sure you have valid registry entries for UO in your Registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Origin Worlds Online]
"HarvestStage"=dword:00000000
"UniqueInstanceId"=dword:46e3c2bd
"LastHarvestTime"=dword:48347e09

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Origin Worlds Online\Ultima Online]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Origin Worlds Online\Ultima Online\1.0]
"ExePath"="D:\\Spiele\\Ultima Online Mondain's Legacy\\client.exe"
"InstCDPath"="D:\\Spiele\\Ultima Online Mondain's Legacy"
"PatchExePath"="D:\\Spiele\\Ultima Online Mondain's Legacy\\uopatch.exe"
"StartExePath"="D:\\Spiele\\Ultima Online Mondain's Legacy\\uo.exe"
"Upgraded"="Yes"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Origin Worlds Online\Ultima Online Third Dawn]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Origin Worlds Online\Ultima Online Third Dawn\1.0]
"ExePath"="D:\\Spiele\\Ultima Online Mondain's Legacy\\uotd.exe"
"InstCDPath"="D:\\Spiele\\Ultima Online Mondain's Legacy"
"PatchExePath"="D:\\Spiele\\Ultima Online Mondain's Legacy\\uopatch.exe"
"StartExePath"="D:\\Spiele\\Ultima Online Mondain's Legacy\\uo.exe"
"Upgraded"="Yes"

you can just paste this snippet into a file regedit.reg and double click on it.
Be sure to correct the path information to your actual UO Installation.
Pandora will then recognize your Ultima Installation and load everything correctly.

If it still does not work, try deleting your profile and creating a new one.

Be aware also that 64 bit versions of Windows store registry entries differently which can also cause problems.

This is the error I get when I click the installer:

what should I do?

[Ninehand]

Ok I downloaded the box update which seems to be what I needed I stuck it in the folder with the pandora.exe file but when I went to load it I got a message saying that my previous profiles (using the original pandora) were corrupt and would I like to attempt to restore them, I clicked no thinking it would try and make a new one, but it just asked again so I clicked to try and restore, I got this error:

I checked out the registry and it's all legit and looks very similar to yours except for the data path. Mine is located in the E:\Program Files (x86)\Ultima Online.

If I delete the Pandora.exe.manifest file everything works as a fresh install of Pandora's Box. It does store the profiles but if I choose to load it Pandora's Box does not load. I have to make a new profile and redo everything.

Also it will not detect any Ultima Online Installation. I have to tell it where it is installed.

Anyone have a working 2.0.0.? for Windows XP Pro X64?

I finally got it working for XP pro x64. what I had to do is use corflags.exe from Visual Studio 9.0 SDK and have corflags tell pandora.exe to run in 32 bit mode. After doing that it works perfectly.

So for those of you who are using x64 XP try doing that and it should work for you as well.

I have a problem which another user had.

When i open pandora for my 2nd time, it goes to the splash screen

"

It just goes directly into taskmanager and wont show any ui or nothin'

""

[Ninehand]

that is exactly what mine is doing!!! I don't know what the deal is, when I first installed pandora's box on my vista machine it worked well at least the buttons where there, but when I tried to use the place object no object the application wouldn't communicate with my pc, any help?

[RadstaR]

Delete profile setting and startd pandora's box again. Sometime pandora stuck for this.

[QlimaxXx]

I have no profile folder. :<

[RadstaR]

Profile is saved in Documents and Settings\Applications data\Pandora's Box (i don't know if is it good location, because don't have windows XP), maybe in Documents and settings\Documents\Pandora's Box.

[QlimaxXx]

Thanks a bunch

It was "Documents and Settings\"PC USERNAME"\Applications data\Pandora's Box"
