I see that you've installed to the default location C:\Program Files (x86) it's possible that UAC is causing a problem here.Try installing to a different location, for example
C:\Games\Steam or C:\Steam |

I'm not sure it's possible to change the installation directory for Steam games, at least, not without removing Steam itself, plus the games, and reinstalling in a new directory. I know I used to have SC running on this machine, though, which is encouraging. I may have to invest my readies in a proper CD for it...
Anyway, just tried disabling UAC. No dice. |

I bought SC some years ago from Steam and got it ok and running,remember also installed SCX with no problem.
I am (almost) sure you can not install a Steam game in a different path. I´d try to erase the entire download and try it again.

Well, I removed and re-installed Steam, moving it to a new folder called C:\Steam. Still no dice. New error message though:
At least there's variety! |

Feeeeeeck. Hang fire lads, I think I've got it.
Steam installs Sub Command in exactly the same manner as SC installs itself from a CD; the one difference is that it's installed in a sub-directory of the steam apps folder (in this case, C:\Steam\steamapps\common\subcommand). Once I worked that out, I simply installed SCX again, this time placing it in the Sub Command directory. Out came the files, on came the new thingies. The programme installed everything, but then said I wouldn't hear the voices because I was using the wrong version. As it stands I'm not sure what to do about that, since I do rather miss them. I'm using v 1.08, so I'm not sure where the problem lies. |

Glad to hear you've made some progress.
As for the no voices because of the wrong version message,I've never seen that one before. |

Seems it's a known issue; SCU (sorry, not SCX) requires v 1.08, and applying the non-Steam v 1.08 patch seems to be a bad idea. I'm going to try doing it anyway and see if it screws the game up. Anyway, it seems the Steam/NCP version is patched to 1.08, but not in a way SCU recognises. Hence the problem. If anyone's got a workaround for it, pipe up!
Edit: Sooooo. The stock 1.08 patch knocks out the subcommand.exe file. So I can either have SCX without the voices, or vanilla SC with them, but for some reason, not both, it seems. Anyone else found this? |
