Tested on every install available in the current build (139, 127, BUGs, etc.).
I attempted to use the application to view and extract SD models from an old version of WoT that I had downloaded. To my understanding it's a complete build and aligns 1 to 1 with the actual version from 2014. A problem arose on the initial bootup of TankExporter when World_of_Tanks - 0.8.11/res/packages/ did not contain a shared_content-part1.pkg file like the modern versions do, but a simple rename of the smaller shared_content file worked fine for that.
Shortly after, the app ran into a bigger issue when requesting the res_mods folder. Going into res_mods and selecting 0.8.11 initially loaded part of the content, but then this error arose:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

I tried relaunching multiple times to select a different folder or simply declining the request for a path, but the same error appeared. The app seemingly crashes after "Adding Nodes to TreeView Lists (01)". Even if I were to try and use the current 1.13.0.1 build of WoT the app wouldn't let me.

Yeah im getting the same problem, just with v 1.25.0, I tried similar things and the app still wouldn't open.

it also broke for me now that the game updated

是的，我遇到了同样的问题，刚刚使用 v 1.25.0，我尝试了类似的操作，但应用程序仍然无法打开。

the same problem, have you solved it?

the same problem, have you solved it?

closing this as its fixed.
