Rake Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Am I the only one having an issue with this? I just Dl'd BP2 for CMBN. When I open the activate new products app, a window pops up and disappears. The very same thing happened with Downfall for CMFB, and the only way around it was to reinstall. For CMFB, that wasn't too big a deal, but for CMBN, with the game and all of the modules, it's a big PITA. My games are all stored on a separate drive (F:), and the utility is in the correct folder. The (utility) shortcut directs to: C:\Windows\System32 There is no further instruction. I presume this is the command window that opens and immediately closes. Following the shortcut for CMSF2 (which works) leads to my CMSF2 folder. What gives? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rake Posted June 23 Author Share Posted June 23 Well, somehow (do NOT ask me how) I got this fixed. I opened the CMBN Utility shortcut properties and tried changing the path to my CMBN folder. Problem was, when I tried to save that, I got an error saying the path was not valid. I hit "Cancel" and the properties window closed. But when I looked at the file in Explorer, I noticed the date had changed to today's date. I ran the shortcut and it worked! Now, instead of the shortcut's path taking me to Windows\System32, the shortcut is: %COMSPEC% /C "CM Normandy.exe" -showui Yet, I NEVER typed this into the "Target" space in the Properties window. What I had typed was: “F:\Games\Combat Mission\COMBAT MISSION BATTLE for NORMANDY\CM Normandy.exe” -showui All I had done was type exactly what the target was from CMSF2, changing it to the path for CMBN - this is what caused the invalid path error. Just MCS*, I guess. Anyhow, issue resolved. (*Mysterious Computer $H!T) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
