installer crashes with out-of-bounds access in non-application code

[LanHikariDS]

Trying to install chaudloader just causes the window to flash and do nothing. Opening the program through a prior command prompt window shows
`Welcome to the chaudloader installer.

thread 'main' panicked at 'range end index 20 out of range for slice of length 0', /rustc/2f2c438dce75d8cc532c3baa849eeddc0901802c\library\alloc\src\vec\mod.rs:1992:36
note: run with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 environment variable to display a backtrace`
I previously had BNLC installed on my E: drive, but both moving it to C: and uninstalling/reinstalling on C: still cause the same issue.

Can you run it with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 and post the output?

[LanHikariDS]

I have no idea how to do that, I tried "install.exe -RUST_BACKTRACE=1", and that threw an error

[bigfarts]

Could you run set RUST_BACKTRACE=1 in the command prompt before running the installer?

Setting backtrace to full shows-

It's likely that for one reason or another it can't find your Steam installation. Can you try copying chaudloader.dll and dxgi.dll manually into the BNLC folder? Should be placed in the same directory as MMBN_LC1.exe, MMBN_LC2.exe.

[LanHikariDS]

Now BNLC doesn't open, and the modloader installer does the same thing as before

[bigfarts]

That's so weird. You definitely have BNLC installed via Steam, and you've launched it at least once from Steam?

[LanHikariDS]

Yep. Preordered the collections through Steam, and have nearly 91 hours clocked in it.

[LanHikariDS]

I had a friend send me all his dlls (the two above, as well as chaudloader.toml and llua54.dll), and now the modloader opens for me when starting

[bigfarts]

Ah, I forgot about Lua. I'm going to repurpose this bug but it sounds like your issue is solved.

[LanHikariDS]

For me personally, sure, but if it happened to me, surely it can happen to someone else
