RF install failing .. older version was flawless
Posted: Fri Nov 19, 2010 1:07 pm
G'day Guys, not sure if this is covered elsewhere, I have done searching, expected to find a sticky here but didn't.
A recent problem I encountered has had me installing the newer version (RealityFactory076.exe) and the update / patch ("RealityFactory-0.76.0_to_0.76.1.zip")
Initially the install wanted to default to "C:\Program Files\realityfactory". Allowing this to occur I was hit with path issues opening RF Edit Pro .. I resolved those by editing the ini and changing the paths. (this in turn also resolved issues I'd seen by other new members where entities were not listed).
But I had issues with the TXL path for the demo levels. Once I directed RF Edit Pro to the right TXL path and file the other level paths for those files seemed ok.
I then installed again but changed the defalt Program Files path to only "C:\RealityFactory" This solved the issue of paths for opening RF Edit Pro but did not for the demo levels.
Now the issue I cannot seem to get around is that when I try to run a demo level I get this message: "Windows cannot find 'C:\realityfactory.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search."
We know full well that isn't the path of the file. I can't find any file or registry entry that points to that file.
Should I stick with my old version or is there a work around for this?
If this is what the newcommers are experiencing then it is not looking good for the pick up. (in that my older version that I got from god knows where, didn't have these issues).
