Chad Harrison Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I just purchased NATO. I previously had Marines and British patched to 1.21. Installation was fine, but when I try to run the game I get the following error: eLicense Control In order to finish initializing, this application must first be run by a user with administrator privileges. Please contact your system adminstrator for help. 0-3. So went and double checked, and my user is the admin - its the only user on the computer. I even tried to run it 'as an adminstrator' but nothing ever happened. Out of ideas? Thanks Chad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Chad, being the only user on the computer does not make you the admin. From Windows XP on, and even more strictly with Vista and W7, you have to run with "elevated" special permissions. It's a Microsoft "feature". At least as long as you have UAC (User account control) enabled, which it is by default. Setting the game to launch as "Run as admin" is what will fix the problem. Disabling UAC will also solve it. If "nothing happens" even after you launch with "Run as admin", then something else may be interfering in addition to UAC. Check out our Knowledgebase at www.battlefront.com/helpdesk for possible solutions. You can submit a support ticket there, too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Harrison Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 Moon Thanks for the reply. I tried setting both 'Run as Administrator' under the .exe properties *and* then running it as administrator by right clicking on it. That did the trick. Thanks again for your help Chad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moon Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 The NATO installer will not remove any files. It's not coded to do anything like that. Look inside the Modules folder of your CMSF installation directory. Do you see the file "CMSF Marines Module.exe" there? Look into the Data folder - do you have the "Version 110 Marines.brz" file there? If they're missing, then something removed it. It could be your anti-virus program. The solution would be to reinstall Marines. But if you do that, you will downgrade your game, so you will really have to: - install Marines - install British - patch to v1.21 - install NATO Martin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moon Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Heh... yeah, this can happen. The installer attempts to figure out the correct path from your registry, but this isn't failsafe, especially if you have retail version of CMSF, or also if you manually copied files. It's always good to doublecheck the install path. It HAS to match the place where your game is installed, otherwise, obviously, the module won't work correctly, or not even show up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
