That one is only used to get the name of the .vis file. After the first start it uses the one created in the Savegames folder. That one is probably damaged. Did you edited it with Wordpad or some other non flat text editor?

Hereby the v027_final.pdf with thanks to @felix69 who played from the beginning and added notes to v027_played_v2.pdf were I made mistakes, forgot things or was not clear. Because of this it is now a better walkthrough :)

This is almost definitely based on an old save or is completely bugged. For example Charlotta is standing in Main street and hasn't moved to Los Labia North after she moved her puppy. To check please give an md5sum of bookmark01.dat and bookmark10.dat. If they are for v027 I may be have an solution, else I will give you my bookmark09.dat which starts at the beginning of this episode by going to the Cinema. I know that this one is clean because I started a new game without any files in the Savegames folder...
bookmark 01: 6DC82F3A6F982656DEEE69E771E19657
bookmark 10: D8AC5321F3F0EEDA9E69924B86B9A8E4

im pretty sure i installed the savegames from game folder, and then i started a new game

The bookmark01.dat is indeed a v027 file distributed by Nenad. I asked bookmark10.dat because you're stuck so that one shouldn't be overwritten yet. That happens at the end of the episode and you can't get there. However bookmark10.dat is not an original:

Code:
ebc3515bfc7a9d15fdbbfe4ea898a12c  v020/Savegames/bookmark10.dat
574441edf276684ced5e0ea1e1cebd42  v021/Savegames/bookmark10.dat
35a39210e77bc8addb18ce85ee49c244  v022b/Savegames/bookmark10.dat
051f54d0440359956180427507492b96  v022/Savegames/bookmark10.dat
453fa8946f0518579050019105b0627b  v023/Savegames/bookmark10.dat
8b7dbdde0f21acee14f402c22bd959a1  v024/Savegames/bookmark10.dat
7a6a09bda2465f34457f9f0b30e92332  v025/Savegames/bookmark10.dat
35b6da17a6430afc4e3af9d91ab478c3  v026/Savegames/bookmark10.dat
d7c81c0f4b49826523c7d91e6a986a27  v027/Savegames/bookmark10.dat
So I'm not sure what you did. It seems that you have obtained non original files so probably from someone who did use old saves. As said I played v027 (mom path) from the beginning, starting with an empty directory. That is the best way to start a new game. Here is a savegame at the beginning of the episode you're playing. See my walkthrough -- link to latetst in my signature below -- and search for bookmark09.dat and start after that point. I've collected up till this point a four more dolls then you had, but that can't be helped. If you don't want that quit the game, remove all files in the AppData/.../Savegames, start the game and choose new game. That creates an clean game which shouldn't have any problems. I did that and finished till the end...

When I download the 3 parts, I don't get en .exe file (it says MacOS in the folders). Isn't there a version for Windows? Also, the patch from 026 to 027 won't work either (the command window's 'checking integrity for original directory', and nothing more happens).
The main folder also says 'Adventures of Willy D 027.app

It looks like you downloaded the macOS version instead of the Windows version. The 026 to 027 patch isn't needed if you downloaded the full 027 game. The patch converts a 026 full game to a 027 full game. There is a Windows version available for Patreons, but I don't know if some pirate shared it here. Can't help you with that...

I have the same problem. Luckily, the fix is pretty easy.

Run Terminal
cd to the directory with the willy d app
cd into the app
cd Contents/MacOS
chmod +x Visionaire\ Player

Something goofed up the execute permission on the app's executable.
Finally was able to try it and it worked! Thanks!

Know how to make playing the game windowed instead of full screen by chance?... lol... the windowed option still plays it at full screen.

Thanks Microsoft for this very useful error message. In essence it says "There is an error in our product but for solving that you must ask the developer who uses our code". Sigh...

The only suggestion I have is checking that you are using the latest Visual C++ runtime. See the link to the FAQ in my signature below were you can download that. I'm not sure, but I think the Visionaire engine is still 32 bits so install that version even if your Windows is 64 bits. I don't know how you can check if a Windows binary is 32 or 64 bits. In Linux that is easy through the file command:

Code:
$ file visplayer
visplayer: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, BuildID[sha1]=bd96fc61cd13d2e170ef2a9bb0451db481bf8c83, not stripped
So the Linux version is 64 bits, but that is not a real surprise because distributions were using that almost from the beginning when the processors were introduced. Windows did take a lot longer. There are still 32 bits Windows 7 version out there. Never used Windows 10 so I'm not sure if there was a 32 bit version...

Edit:
shows how you can check an application. The third one doesn't need it running so it is kind of the file command on Linux. At the moment I don't have a Windows running so I can't check it for you. Anyway you need the 32 or 64 bits version of the runtime depending on waht version the Visionaire executable of this game says.

Edit 2:
Found a Windows 7 (64 bits) Virtual machine and just checked the .exe according to the above article and it is definitely 32 bits (Windows 95 compatibility possible)
Thanks your interest. I have Win 7 x64 system. So I tried some things, search the internet but there are many fix but for now it didnt works for me.
I tried this video fix and some others but I still have the same problem. Sorry for my English

The reason I'm hardly using Windows anymore is exactly videos like this. It is just trial and error. In Linux I usually see what is happening and what probably the solution is. Plus it has a much better system of uninstalling/reinstalling then most programs in Windows. Which is probably the reason why you have this problem in the first place...

i have no idea what you are saying
Okay, one, last time (i hope) - Crashing game after entering hotaboo shop is cause by using old savegames from previous version instead of given ones, or just using some 0.25 savegames labeled as 0.26 uploaded by some "good" person. It was told zillion times in thread, so It has it's own gif too... But it's hard to use search function here and enter "hotaboo" and getting response immediatelly.

The main folder also says 'Adventures of Willy D 027.app
The command window won't take forever, only just exact amount of time which takes to read whole game game and calculate checksums, so there are three possibilities:
1, something got broken, script informed you abut all broken/missing files and you didn't read it
2, you were too impatient to wait until checks passed
3, your hdd is too slow (in average, it should take up to 2 minutes on slower drives) to verify checksums

But as blup said, doing update from 0.27 to 0.27 doesn't make sense, only if you have 0.26 for windows and you need make up 0.27 ;)

It looks like you downloaded the macOS version instead of the Windows version. The 026 to 027 patch isn't needed if you downloaded the full 027 game. The patch converts a 026 full game to a 027 full game. There is a Windows version available for Patreons, but I don't know if some pirate shared it here. Can't help you with that...
There are multiple windows links (mega, filescdn...) as MacOS, perfectly labeled. So, there are only well known reading problems :D

Actually, I am not using any saves, I started a new game. The problem came up in the game, when Hotaboo Shop location shown up for the first time in the game, becoz pf the objective of buying dildo for Dee Dee, and the moment willy enter HotaBoo it crashes, So I don't think it has anything to do with the savegames from previous version, and if I am wrong, then correct me, And I really appreciate your help. And one more thing, I downloaded savegames from the link available on the home page of the thread, and when I played the game, which is completed already, I can enter Hotaboo.

It is most likely that you unknowingly used old saves. But because you don't believe us, post here the MD5 checksums of all the bookmarkXX.dat files in your Savegames directory. If I understand correctly you're playing v027 of the game? We will see if your checksums are from the v027 version of the game.

At the moment the only (!) reason for a crash in the Hotaboo shop is old saves. This is proven over a dozen times in this thread already. Nobody has given proof that ther could be another reason. I won't say there isn't, but the statistics are at the moment against you...

Which version of the game are you playing? See my walkthrough -- link to latest or earlier versions -- in my signature below. There you can find the names, screenshots of the locations and were and how you can find or unlock them.

In v027 you can collect 120 dolls which is exactly the amount needed to unlock the gold door in the Doll house. As said, you can find all dolls in my walkthrough...
