I've asked this question in the download thread, but I doubt that anyone will see it that could answer the question, so I'm re-posting here in hope.

"Hi Kim

Looks like a great add-on for my poor fading memory. Great to have something to look back on (or to generate accurate mission reports so I can boast about my Spectacular Results).

Anyway, I'm having I think, a small installation issue. Following your instructions, I have dropped the .exe in the 'Save Games' folder, double-clicked to 'Add GamePath', and got the configuration window, entered a number, checked all the boxes, navigated to the SH4 installation location, then clicked 'Set SH4 Path'. This is where it goes wrong.
I get a pop-up error message.
Any suggestions from the gurus?
Thanks
Gryff
Just in case anyone new comes across this and sees no answer and concludes it's a hopeless case, I can report that the problem is largely solved.

The apparent error remains, with that message pop-up (" not an integer), but in fact, if you just close it and ignore, the report generator works just fine. In particular, it saves your torpedo information (number of hits, misses, duds etc), which is great to have. In addition, you can correct, for your own records, sinkings that you achieved that were not recorded in the Captain's log or Office Journal (it happens, believe me - I've got screen shots to prove it!).

The only thing missing (which a modder may correct) is auto recording of the start and end dates of the patrol, and any awards given upon return (both of which you can add in manually).

So, by all means, use it and enjoy.
