Did you download this vtgen.bat file. And the file from nasa should be untouched, with the same file name it had when you downloaded it...
Please follow the steps with GREAT CARE.

I had missed a directory in the link. That is fixed now. Script has also some new features like a check that controlls that all files are present and it is ready for txtools, with some adjustments due to me not knowing the correct name for txtools yet..
Best regards, Anders
It can't be any easier... Please show us some screenshots of your new set of normalmaps Daniel.
Ps. Just copy ALL NEEDED FILES to the same directory and double click vtgen.bat

When you have ALL needed files, just double click vtgen.bat
And please USE the VTGEN.BAT PROVIDED at the begining of this post. Don't make your own vtgen.bat, since that doesn't seems to work for you.
Now I want to see some screenshots.

I'm not sure all versions of Windows XP has the CHOICE command available.
