Buldozer stopped after latest game update

[hcpookie 3770]

Just purchased the Global Mobilization pack, uninstalled/reinstalled Arma 3 tools, and now getting the External Viewer errors.  Also followed manual install steps from the BIKI "Buldozer Manual".

 

 From OBjectBuilder log:

I ran a PROCMON trace and the last two file write entries before a log file write is this:

I have also manually copied/pasted/renamed arma3.exe to buldozer.  All result in the "External viewer not found" errors.

 

Rebooted, made sure no pending Steam download updates, yadda yadda

 

Possible the tools haven't been updated to 1.92.whatever yet?

Don't use the tools and don't use them to extract files. Do it this way https://pmc.editing.wiki/doku.php?id=arma3:tools:setup-p-drive

For what its worth - I deleted the Object Builder registry keys, re-ran the Steam install, and now it is working.

Another update - I can break it at will now by editing this registry key:

 

"\\Path for textures"=""

 

When I populate that with "P:\" it breaks when I reopen Object Builder.  That's under File - Options - Path for Textures

 

When I remove it I can open Buldozer again
