Hey guys, im looking for a copy of the ConvertXSI.exe and with Myfirst0's site down i cant seem to find one. Could anyone point me in the right direction or upload one of theirs? 
Thanks guys =]
Depending on your install path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion\ConvertXSI
For Rebellion, all the official tools are now kept in the install folder.
Heya, thanks for the reply WOE (edit: and Goa! =)). The problem I'm getting with that one is a system error. Forewarning, I'm using Windows 8 if that matters at all.
It says that it cant start because MSVCR71.dll is missing from my computer and that reinstalling the program may fix the problem, but unfortunately it doesn't. I guess its just that file i need. In the ConvertXSI folder i already have "msvcr80.dll" but 71 is missing.
Or perhaps its a w8 issue or maybe im just doing something wrong running it directly from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion\ConvertXSI"

Must be a win8 thing then, because I only need the three .dlls that are in the ConvertXSI folders by default on Windows 7.
I can confirm my ConvertXSI folder has the following dll files:
I'm on Windows 7.
Hmm that's a shame, Ive downloaded MSVCR71.dll and placed it in the 3 locations i was told to, but it seems to still be broken (though now i don't get the popup error and instead the dos prompt just closes right after it starts).
Does this work for anyone else on windows 8?
ConvertXSI is a command line utility. You have to navigate to it in command prompt and give it the arguments it wants directly, or make a .bat file to do so. So it seems like you fixed the problem as that is what happens when anyone just double clicks on it. 
Oh thats right, i forgot!
Haha thank you very much Goa. Your brilliant
Tanks Woe 
Just incase anyone else has this issue (missing msvcr71.dll)
1. Download this: http://download.dll-files.com/ca2f560921b7b8be1cf555a5a18d54c3/msvcr71.zip?0XMmSDXMjS
2. Unzip and place contents at these locations (i put it in all the places i saw people mention through various topics online, im not sure which did the trick but you can do a process of elimination if you desire :D)
- C:\Windows\SysWOW64 (only if your on 64bit)
- C:\Windows\System32
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion\ConvertXSI
3. Restart computer
4. Praise the forumites here for the help & super swift response times!! 
I notice this form is from about a year ago, but in case anybody looks.
