#3 aapt.exe locator dialog immediately closes after opening, and program terminates (Win 8?)

[Stilez]

Extracted aapt.exe from "apktool-install-windows-r05-ibot.tar.bz2" as described in the enclosed text file, put aapt.exe in the unzipped APK FM folder, then ran APK FM.

Result - popped up a dialog saying it was going to locate the aapt.exe file. On clicking ok, a "locator" dialog did pop up for a tiny moment, but immediately closed, then the program terminated (logically!) as "no file supplied".

Tried on 2 machines (Desktop + Laptop Win 8) as well as running in Win 7 compatibility mode and as administrator.

I can verify that this problem exists on Win8, I'll try to come up with an update over the next days. Thanks for the report!
To temporarily overcome this problem, create a text file named "settings.xml" in the same folder, and paste the following in it:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CONFIG>
<General>
<AaptLocation Value="aapt.exe"/>
</General>
</CONFIG>

Confirming that workaround worked for me - thanks!

ok, I've uploaded a new version that should work.
