first error messages: where to learn more?

[hariseldon 2]

Hello, I've just purchased the tool, and these are the error messages I get as soon as I tried to install the first prest (Thophat)

WARNING: you have outdated shaders in backup

please, where do I have to read to learn more? I am not an expert, at all ...using ENVtex

 

thanks

I solved by reinstalling the p3dv4 Client, yet I'd like to know which (shaders?) utility altered the files PTA2.52 did not find...ENVtex?

I'm about to release an readme with the program as there are a few people who having issues.

This is a snippet from said readme...

BACK UP YOUR SHADERS: Before using PTA, navigate to your Prepar3D root folder and make a back up of the "ShadersHLSL" folder. This is IMPORTANT. Should you then ever want to revert to the original shaders, or you have an issue using PTA because of corrupt shaders, you have a full backup. Unfortunately, we cannot ship PTA with the stock Prepar3D due to licensing issues with Lockheed Martin (we did ask, but they wouldn't allow it).
