I had that issue this weekend as well but found a patch online for 2.1 on the lego site.  It was patch 2.1f3

I'm having a very similar problem. The software does open, but when the kids try to download their program to the brick, theyalso get a "a required file is broken" message.

I have tried reinstalling the program but it doesn't give me the option to uninstall the program that is currently on the computer, asks me to choose between the programming software and an x64 driver, and regardless of which one I choose, displays a message saying that nothing will be installed.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Haydee

all

 

My NXT 2.1 software all of a sudden won't open on the computer.  It tells me "a required file is broken" and gives me an error code 1003.  I have uninstalled and then re-installed the software and it still won't open up.  Any thoughts?

 

Thanks
