Just hoping in the thread.

I'm having the same problem.
when I installed LwAmi the bat files didn't work. I finished installing, the game runs ok, but I get no splash screens and no subs/torps in the 3D view.

I'm running on Win 7 Home Basic -32 bit, anti-virus ruuning on background; my DW is a Steam instalation.

The .bat needs to run for the new graphics to be installed. Did you get any kind of error message that can give us a clue why they didn't run?

Nope, no messages on the "why". Only I got the standard Windows messages saying the "this program cannot be run: Retry, Cancel, Skip" thing.
After retrying, I chose Skip and proceed wuth the install.

Okay, I don't know why the .bat isn't running, but you've helped us a great deal just by telling us you're running Windows 7. Microsoft... 1 step forward, 2 steps back.

Anyways, OneShot knows the installer better, since he made it, so I've asked him to take a look. If we can't figure anything out, one thing I can try is to make the graphics package available as a separate download, which in theory would allow you to run that part of the installation manually... Assuming cmputil.exe isn't being prevented from running.

Did you install Dangerous Waters to the default folder or do you have a separate folder. For example I use /Games in the root directory and I can install DW and LwAmi without a hitch using Win7 64Bit Ultimate

So I guess that means the root directory is better than the normal location in Program Files? Hmmm, before I thought the problems happened when people installed in places other than Program Files....

The installation/saved games are on the same root directory.
And that root directory is inside Steam/Steamapps/common directory.
I don't know if it influences on something...but...
I'll try the solution given above on this thread; i.e., running the .bat files manually.
