So I thought it might be a problem on my side so I started a new career with the USS Snook (Gato Class) and got the same error message only with the "G:\data\submarine\NSS_Gato\NSS_Gato.cfg" file.
Could you please give me some help with this?
Thanks

Jim:
This is an interesting error, as the install path is read right out of the registry. I think you mentioned you installed several instances of SH4. That would cause the registry to change certain critical install values and cause
Damage Control to throw exactly the exception you have reported. I've never installed a program to more than one location. Do you actually have more than one SH4 instance in your "Add or Remove Programs?" I'm thinking not, because all evidence of the first install seems to have been overwritten. What version of SH4 are you running?
I certainly will make you able to specify the install path in
Damage Control, but be aware that this application will cater to those with default installs. (All that means is that if it finds the default install information it will use it without prompting for input; you'll have to go to the menu bar to change it.) Also be aware that this could cause minor/major headaches for you as you try to remember which install goes with which saved game path!
In fact, I think I will change the first-time startup to show the saved game folders path dialog only if it cannot find the default one. Just for consistency.
I cannot guarantee when it will be done, as I will mostly be out of town this weekend. (That, plus hockey season has begun!)

PS - I hope you don't feel bad about making more work for me. It's users with unusual setups like this that make an application the best it can be!!!
