Doesn't Windows force you to install it to C?

Re: Black Hawk Down Mod Released

Yes it does. on the mappack it doesnt it goes to where it should in the F drive in mydocuments.

when i change the install directory on the mod to where it should be.
( F:\Documents and Settings\Kieran\My Documents\World in Conflict\mods\Blackhawk_Down ) it doesnt work.

( C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\World in Conflict\mods\Blackhawk_Down ) this is where it wants to go by default.

I think the installer is my default using Vista settings i am on XP. When i change the directory it freezes then says its complete the files are where i told them but the mod still does not show up.

Re: Black Hawk Down Mod Released

Well, lets see if I can help you with your question. First of all, the files should be installed in the Shared Documents folder, not your user folder. If they aren't, it won't work. I'm not quite sure how things work if you have your files on a different harddrive, but the map files do go into your user folder (not quite sure why Massgate decided to do this the confusing way, but they did).

Maps should be installed to:
HD Letter:\Documents and Settings\User Name\My Documents\World in Conflict\Downloaded\Maps

and the Mod should be installed to:
HD Letter:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\World in Conflict\Mods\Blackhawk_Down

Hope this kinda helps. If it doesn't take a look here and see if that solves your problem.

Re: Black Hawk Down Mod Released

The maps installed fine.

But for the mod I don't even have one of those folders. I have documents and settings and then all users but no documents folder. my World in Conflict is in MY documents and settings folder.

F:\Documents and Settings\All Users\

Do I still put it in there even though the game is not installed in that part of documents and settings? Do I make these folders?

Re: Black Hawk Down Mod Released

What you'll want to do is go to My Computer>Shared Documents>World in Conflict>mods>Blackhawk_Down. If any of those folders is missing, create them. Then you'll want to move the installed files into the Blackhawk_Down folder. Hope this helps.
