I just came here to post about the same issue and mentioning WMP has reminded me that I removed WMP from my PC so that is what is causing the issue. I had the game running fine before and just installed 1.04 patch so figured the patch was cauing it but realize now that it is because I removed WMP. You know, having WMP as a requirement to run the game is not cool. For one thing, the EU forced Microsoft to un-bundle it from Win7 in Europe so in essence they are breaking EU consumer law by making it a requirement to run the game. Does the game just need a certain codec that is in WMP or does it need the actual WMP program? I would rather just install a codec pack than re-install WMP.

Hi I posted in another thread, but get no response. Maybe the name of the tread turns people off? So I try again... I bought DW a few days ago, and have spent more then 1.5 workday to get it working... I am a total Geek, so I had to "solve" the problem befor coming here to cry :-) So here is my problem; I am running W7 - 64bit I get the same error as "Jesus..." when trying to start the game. DW 1.06 "System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation," I think that is allso what "Trew" had... I have un/reistalled the game, removed wmp and reinstalled that, removed all .net inst and reinstalled. - all with no changes in the result. Now, i have finally gotten it to work. I managed to get a DW 1.049. That version runs without any problems! I really LOVE this game, but would like to patch it... problem is that patching it to 1.06 will make the game unstartable... PLEASE HELP! [&:]

Posting to say I have the same problem, I hope its not because I need WMP to use this, but posting a image of the error window because it is HELLA large. [image]http://i51.tinypic.com/vctrp0.png[/image]

It is the same problem... You get it when you start the game, right? And there are no way to start the game? I found no solution. But using an early version, 1.049 (full of bugs) it works. I really love this game. But I would have thought twice before buying it if I had known how much time it would take to get it to work. (And still i have not played the game i bought, DW 1.6) Maybe I am missing something, but are there really no people working with support for the game?

Snowpeople1 -> RE: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException (12/4/2010 9:54:03 PM)
Lostweb, do you have Windows Media Player 11/12 installed on your computer? If it is installed, have you checked to make sure it is the latest version?

Lostweb -> RE: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException (12/5/2010 6:49:58 PM)
Thank you for the reply! :-) Yes, I have even re-installed it (which was quite a challange). I have WMP 12...

Snowpeople1 -> RE: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException (12/5/2010 8:46:21 PM)
Take a look in your Distant Worlds\Movie - Make sure there are 3 files there named code Force Intro - Distant Worlds Intro - MatrixIntro If all of them are there, do they play WITH sound in your Win Media Player?

backhuri -> RE: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException (12/6/2010 9:28:50 AM)
I bought this game yesterday but i couldnt play this because of this problem. please help me...

Lostweb -> RE: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException (12/15/2010 10:23:26 AM)
For some wierd reason i no longer get the error... I have been playing DW 1.049 for weeks now, dodging errormessages and errors, but loving the game! Today i was going to spend some time, complaining on this forum :-) So i reinstalled 1.06 in "C:\Matrix Games\DW", but I have not removed the old install of DW 1.049 in the default "C:\Matrix Games\Distant Worlds". And now everything works!!! I am so happy! I think I will take the rest of the day off from work :-) @ Snowpeople1 I have looked in the \movies folder, and in DW 1.049 all files are ok. But in 1.06 the file "DistantWorldsIntro.wmv" is not. I will not mess with it, as it does work now, but this information may be useful to others with problems... Now, bring on the expansion! Life is good!!! [8D]

backhuri -> RE: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException (12/16/2010 9:43:04 PM)

Lostweb -> RE: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException (12/17/2010 9:54:08 AM)
