February 25, 200620 yr Ummm... Strange, It simply wont work for me for the full standard release and I have the game installed into the default directory. "The greatest pain a man can suffer is to have knowledge of much, and power over nothing" - Herodotus
February 26, 200620 yr Update 2.26.2006You no longer need the demo installed to use this application, it should work with the full version of the game. Founder & Lead RenEvo Software & Design
February 26, 200620 yr Hmm! maybe this new version will allow my game to work. I tried extracting the meg files for the full game using the demo version of the meg extractor but the game would not run at all, it just hanged. As soon as I deleted the extracted files and xml directory, the game would run fine. I'm not sure what happened, but my full version (the demo works fine) will not run if I extract the meg files to folders. Again, I will try this new extractor version and see what happens.
February 26, 200620 yr the program uses the registry to get the installed directory for EAW. I know it's efficient to code this way, but wouldn't be easier to include at least a temporary browse for folder feature? Or actually, both methods can be done. Use the registry to locate the game directory first, if not found, then ask the user to select the directory where the game is installed. I do this with my apps mainly because peoples registry could be corrupt and it's not garaunteed to find a person's game directory.
