[irishron]

How about the one in C: dirive icon?

[kapiszon10]

I have med2 on D But if i set everyone on full acces on D and for example i'll download a virus it could do serious damage.

Dear SigniferOne,

Thank you for this install info. I have many users asking me what to do, I usually respond by asking them to turn off the UAC, but now I will quote your instructions on this thread instead.

Hats off to you old chap,

I run Windows Vista and encountered a peculiar problem. Initially after installation when I would go to early era campaign, custom battle, historical battle or quick battle I would hit start and nothing would happen. The screen would remain the same but the computer was not hung. I disabled the UAC as instructed above after deleting and then reinstalling 6.3 and 6.4. Now quick battle and custom battle work but the era campaign and historical battle do not. I have not moved ss from out of the program files directory. Does anybody have any ideas what could be wrong. I do not want to uninstall and then reinstall SS 6.3 and 6.4 but will as a last resort. Thank you.

With UAC disabled, install Medieval2 and Kingdoms in C:\Games, patch it, then install your mods.

[MikeNice808]

Hey all,

Thx for the tutorial, but i believe secpol is not accessible for people using windows 7 home premium ?
I don't have the msc in my windows32 folder, and saw in other online tutorials on that matter that it works only with some versions of windows 7.

Is there an alternative in that case ? Or must I turn off UAC ?

[irishron]

Turning off the UAC works. I did it right after I installed Win 7.

Is there an alternative in that case ? Or must I turn off UAC ?

Simply install the game on some other drive or outside of program files.

[irishron]

^^^With the UAC disabled.

[Ishan]

Sir Ron i think UAC sends the files to the virtual store folder only when something is installed in windows related folder as in system folder. Outside that, one can install without disabling it AFAIK.

[irishron]

Ishan, personally, I don't take that chance. Some programs written with anything newer than C++ 2005 sends stuff there. Steam for one. Trainplayer for another.

[Ishan]

True True & besides doesn't hurts to just roll down the UAC slider.
