Are there any issues installing to Win7 64? Any “tips” to doing it successfully?

Hello, I downloaded the latest version of “vBulletin PM Reader”.

I created a new database, after that I received and error:

“Could not open database.”

I tried to import the “Sent Messages.xml” and “Recieved Messages.xml”, but I received the following error in both cases:

“An error occured while importing XML nodes to the database”

I’m using Windows XP SP3 32 bit, help is appreciated.

Hi Pete,

I really hope it does. Actually for me it is not just Unicode support. I want to change vBulletin PM Reader significantly; improving search, adding support for Unicode, better GUI, better BBCode parser, and so on. So far I haven’t had enough free time to restart this old project. I’m not sure when I will be back to it, but it is always on my list

Will the unicode-supported version ever be released?

Thanks!

Great software Ali,

Suggestion: Would be nice if the the search function can work through the messsage content, not just the title.

Thanks

Hi, maybe the line breaks are saved in Unix format (only LF character) or Mac format (only CR character) rather than Windows format (CR + LF characters). You can check this using an editor like NotePad++, there is a “Show all characters” button, which shows you the line break characters. Open the XML file in the editor, and make sure the editor is configured to show all the characters (including hidden ones). If you do not see CR LF at the end of the lines, then that is the cause of the problem. You can replace the current line breaks with CR LF characters to fix this.

Hey. Just installed this and so far it looks good if it wasn’t for two problems. The first one is the encoding thing, but I can live with that. What however is a bit more annoying is that all line breaks seems to be ignored. Any idea as to what may be causing this?

Hi John,

Yes, it is because of the app being non-Unicode. I have a Unicode enabled version in my code repository, but it is not stable, and I haven’t found any time to spend on it and make it stable enough to be published.

For your case, if your forum saves the XML file in Unicode, you have to encode it to ANSI using proper Greek code page. You can try NotePad++ for that.

Also you need to choose your Greek code page as the default non-Unicode code page in Control Panel | Regional and Language settings.

Best Regards
