Sy's asset builder no longer works on my Windows7 64bit operating system after a windows update patch: I cannot drag-and-drop files in to the list-box. I need it to create asset files for worldbuilder. Does anyone have the algorithm  to create asset.dat or better still the VB6 source-code for the program? I can then build a new version (or possibly an Excel replacement) that I could post at the TTA website.

I usually have this issue if I reformat my comp. Try to use different compatibility modes and admin mode for the asset builder, there's a fix for it. I can't tell you the exact settings because for me it was just some fiddling with the modes and somehow it always ended up working. :p

Try running it in every compatibility mode possible, that's what i did on mine to make it work.

 

Windows 10: Windows Vista (Service Pack 1) works for me.

 

Note: I also tried this on Windows 7 before I upgraded, and it worked, if I remember correctly, I used one of the XP packs or Vista packs.

Thanks for the replies. After a lot of attempts with compatibility settings it started working properly. I would still be interested in getting the algorithm/source code just in case tweaking fails to work one day.
