Re: pelting again.... release first beta

["Alvin Sebastian Hoo" <alvin.hoo(at)koei.com.sg>]

Hi,

Thanks very much for this one!
But I seem to have problems running it.
Plugin successfully loaded but the toolbar has no buttons.
I installed dotnetfx.exe already.
What could be wrong?
Btw, we are running 4.2 at the moment. This plugin only for 5.0?
Thanks!
