Odd.
Some reasons this usually happens:
- Dependency problems for the hook. The main technical change between 1.0 and 1.1 is that it is now built using Visual Studio 2010 instead of 2008.
If you feel like it, download "depends.exe" (http://www.dependencywalker.com/) and see if you get a lot of DLLs flagged as "Error opening file." when you open the ItemAssistantHook.dll file in it. (As long as the MSVC*.dll files aren't missing its typically OK)
- AO client is running as administrator, while AOIA is not. AOIA can not connect to a process with higher privilege level. Try running AOIA as administrator and see if that fixes the problem.
- While installing the new version of AOIA, the AO client was running and had a lock on the ItemAssistantHook.dll so it couldn't be upgraded.
Another thing to try:
- Try running AOIA with the "-log" command line option and check the log for errors.
BTW: The "record stats" button only determines if you record org contracts and such on zone. You only need this enabled if you want to generate data for Darkbane's CharacterParser/SkillEmulator.
Hope this helps.
