RA mod and win7 - Page 2

I have no idea what could be the problem... Maybe files from that DW wiki are corrupted. Or this is solely win 7 problem. Perhaps you should try reinstalling DW completely, deleting all old files (do not forget to apply patch 1.04).

P.S. Redrodgers links are Ok, you could try later if you want.

Just to be sure, do you extract DWX archive to the game's root folder and run bat file from there (with admin rights, but I already asked this)? Where is your game installed? If C:\Program Files you could try installing it to another folder, e.g. C:\Games. This will deal with the security rules which are more strict for Program Files by default (though, admin rights should be enough to override these rules).

Hello - I'm very new to this, but enjoy the game and cannot get the RA mod working. I've tried both 1.31 and 1.32. I've installed DW into C:\DW, patched to 1.4, tried to use administrator rights to install the mod, but during the installation see many "file not found" errors. When running the game, the splash screen appears, then the RA intro video, but when I then try to move into the core game, it crashes.
Please just confirm that the correct installation method is to copy the mod files directly into the DW files, then run the patch from, in my case, c:\dw?
Any help much appreciated......

Thanks Mr Wood. I'm real close now!! Mod runs, but getting bitmap not found error 122010 (may be slightly different) on quick missions. Also, no periscope station for Kilo demo. Other problems with other missions. Any more help hugely appreciated.
