The external configuration utility is used to configure the toolset's database connection and to tell the toolset where the game's executable is and which database to connect to. You shouldn't need to run the configuration utility during routine usage of the toolset, and if the defaults set up by your installer work you may not need to run it at all.
Contents
Location
To run Configure Toolset, navigate to the directory where you have installed the toolset. Typically the location would be something like:
C:\Program Files\Dragon Age\Tools\
In the Tools directory, double click on ConfigureToolset.exe to launch the utility.
There are two screens available on the Utility:
- Game Builds
- Databases
The functions of each are explained in the sections below.
Game Builds
When the toolset starts up, it looks for the existence of the game. This screen is where you specify the location for the toolset to look for the game.
Win32 Game Build
This field points to the directory where Dragon Age is installed. Either type the path into this field, or click on the ellipsis button (
) next to it to browse to the directory. Set the value of this field to the location of the installed game, typically, it should be something like: C:\Program Files\Dragon Age
Alternate Game Build
This field is used to point so an alternate game location. Typically was used at Bioware to allow the use of multiple computers by a single user. Community users will not generally have need to do anything with this field. Leave it unchecked and blank.
Databases
The default database string is "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=bw_dragonage_content;Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS". For advanced configuration, click on the ellipsis button () to open the data link properties window.
Occasions you need to use Configure Toolset
- If you get an error when attempting to start the toolset stating "Location of game build build either not specified or the update program was never run to copy the build onto your computer", you need to run Configure toolset to rectify the problem.
- You wish to connect the toolset to a different database
