Problem installing CE on Vista machine?

(1/4) > >>

webwalker:
I attempt to seduce my brother to "the CE side of The Force".

He has tried several times, but can't successfully install.

His system runs D2-LOD fine.

What can I ask him about his system or tell him to try?

DrowElf:
It seems that Vista has some problems with the shortcuts of Diablo2 (when you are using some). So better start it without shortcuts (like -direct etc)

-rightclick onto Diablo.exe and Game.exe to select the compatibilitymode for Windows XP SP2
-start Diablo II as administrator
-if needed deactivate the UAC
-deactivate EAX sound because this is not included in DX10 from Vista or search for a driver which support the emulation of EAX

I hope this will help.

This informations come out of this german thread: http://chaosempire.eu/forum/index.php/topic,16427.0.html

webwalker:
I look forward to needing that information!

Currently, double-clicking on theCE.exe to install it on top of the D2LOD directory is the last step tp complete, activation doesn't work.

Are there issues with service packs or updates to Windows Vista Home and activating CE?

Griez:
Is D2LOD in the Program Files? This folder is protected by Vista and the Virtual Store. It may be that some files are redirected by the VS and can't be found by the activator.

Btw. <systemdrive>:\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore contains your redirected files.

webwalker:
Hmmm... Would installing the CE mod as Administrator be needed?
