Error creating PKG files with Aldo's PS3 Tools (package.conf)

[PSX_Koto]

I've been using Aldo's amazing tool collection for a long time now, but since I updated to a more recent version a few weeks ago, ContentID constantly throws out this error when trying to repack certain game folders:

Creating package...
Cannot open file: "C:\Users\Koto\ps3tools\ps3tools\tools\package.conf"

Done.

(Looks like something is kaputt on this website, the above space in package.conf doesn't exist)

This only happens with specific PSN games, and I didn't encounter any non-working seperate game updates so far.
I noticed that while repacking stuff as PKG a file called 'package_(xxxxxxx).conf' gets created in the ps3tools\tools\ dir.
This doesn't happen when ContentID fails and only shows the error message above.

Here are some games that I am unable to repack (it worked with an earlier version of ps3tools):

NPEB00564 - LIMBO
NPEB01201 - Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
NPEB01270 - Terraria

All I usually do is right clicking on the folder and selecting 'Make PKG...'.

I include the latest game updates and or DLCs but I don't resign anything.

After downloading the latest version of ps3tools which is 2.7.38 and searching for updates, the problem still persists. Thanks for your time.

Your issue seems to be related to the new code added to support the creation of multiple PKG concurrently.

Could you download this file and replace the PKG_ContentID.exe in your "C:\Users\Koto\ps3tools\ps3tools\tools\" folder?
http://aldostools.org/temp/PKG_ContentID.rar

If the problem persists, please show me your commands.log created in the same folder.

Hello Aldo, looks like you fixed it with 2.6.3. I could create PKGs out of all the problematic games now, without errors.

Thank you for making our lives a lot easier.

make pkg only appears if you right click a folder. I don't remember how to get the option if you don't have it for some reason. could be pkgview (associate with pkgs from within the app) or content id, which can generate a false positive for many virus and malware scanners. it's safe though.

Disable your AV when you install this or sometimes it denies the installer access to reg settings to add the context menu items when its installing.

Also in the tools folder there are some other reg files to be used as well.
