[SOLVED] Can't find game forlder under windows 7

Dude Joined: Sep 26, 2004 Posts: 15 Location: France

I just installed windows 7 beta and I have a small problem:

install with admin rights, XP SP2 compatibility mode, everything goes fine.

I run the software the same way, and it's ok, until it asks for game folder.

I click on "Search" and it finds everything it has to find.

I, then, click on teh right exe, click on "save" and receive a message "can't find game folder", as if I clicked the exe without selecting a found path.

I tried by pasting the path directly, but the problem remains.

Is there a "manual" way to enter it somewhere, please? Smile

edit: I forgot:

Problem: see above Very Happy

Same problem here aswell.

Tried the vista trick of putting the IL2 folder into the root directory.

Problem: HL will find il2fb.exe, I can select it, but still I get an error saying "Hyperlobby can't find game installation. You will not beable to access mission slots or run the game"

I have no experiance with Vindows Seven. (Vista part II).

Try the Hyper Lobby manual here, scroll to item 7.

Thx for the reply

I did all that, I run HL as admin, XP SP2 compatibility mode, and it works fine, except that it dosn't register the game install location.

I can use search( that finds it) or enter it manually, same result, as if some part was "read only" so that game location can't be written...

Thing is, I tried to locate it in different files, but couldn't, is it in the registry? (maybe seven forbids registry edition unless it's an install or something?)

beta's free, available here:

you choose whether you want 32 or 64 bit OS, your language, and you're ready to go. They give you your key and the beta lasts 'till end of july if my memory serves well...

It works!!! Very Happy

run as administrator after you selected windows 98 compatibility mode (I did the same for aping, just in case) and it seems to work OK now Very Happy
