Missing Game Configurations

I recently re-installed Windows 7 x64 on a new system and forgot to back up my ISBoxer configs. When I reinstalled ISBoxer from Lavish.ISBoxerBundle.exe the first time and ISBoxer launched, I received a message that no default game configs could be found. When I use the Quick Setup Wizard there are no games listed.

I tried installing again after deleting the folder and rebooting and I was still missing all configs. I set up a WoW team and was able to get most of it working but there's still quite a bit of setup that seems to be missing now that was otherwise automatic. I really don't want to have to take the time to go through all of the settings and test everything -- it's time-intensive enough just getting a new config set up when there are reasonable defaults.

I've since reinstalled twice with no luck.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Have these configs been removed from current builds or something?

I think all you're missing is that Inner Space doesn't know where your games are installed until you select Add Game from the Inner Space menu and point it at wow.exe.

I thought that might be the case, too, so I did use Add Game to point InnerSpace to wow.exe. However, even after doing that the Quick Setup Wizard was significantly different than what I remember from setting up a month or two ago. Previously there was a list for all sorts of games that I have never installed on my machine. It looked to me like it was generic rather than tailored to WoW (for instance, it did not ask if I had multiple characters, did not find any of my characters, didn't offer me the options for specifiying a sub-account on my battle.net account, etc.). Then, when I went to set up key combos, that was different, too. There was not an FTL DPS Key option in the wizard and I thought I remember there being one. Also when I looked through the character set ups, there were no defaults specified for what to do when switching to a character, etc.

All of that makes me think I'm missing something. It could certainly be that InnerSpace doesn't know where my games are... I cheated and copied most of them over from their old locations without actually installing them. This works fine for WoW and it usually just re-inserts the registry keys. Same with Guild Wars. I'm not sure if GW2 also does that.

I'll continue hunting around and see if I can get it working because it's almost certainly something specific to my setup / reinstall. I just want to be sure all of that configuration stuff didn't change in a newer release and I'm not looking around for something that's no longer there.

Thanks for the help.

When you run the Quick Setup Wizard, what options do you have in the drop down that prompts "Which game would you like to set up?"? At this point you should select "World of Warcraft". I suspect you are leaving it at "Other". It is this setting, not the game you launch, that lets ISBoxer set up game-appropriate Key Maps etc.

See MiRai's WoW Quick Setup Wizard video for a demonstration.

Alge -- thanks. I do not know for sure if that's what I was doing, but I changed "Other" to "World of Warcraft" and it looks like everything is there on my latest install. Not sure how I could have missed that, but I've done dumber things before.

I did get the warning about missing game configs the first time I installed, but perhaps that was just because I hadn't run WoW yet after reinstalling Win 7. After that, maybe I was just confused and making the assumption that things were missing.

Thanks for the help!
