Activation failed?
webwalker:
This has my interest, because my brother has perpetual "failure to install".
He's on Vista Home, so I'm not sure your cure (when you finally get it all working) will cure his trouble.
Tessera:
I can install it fine, but the problem comes when I try to activate the mod. Something isn't working right there.
Posted on: August 14, 2008, 07:04:28 amWell, I've completely given up on this mod. I've tried everything under the sun, up to and including a hard drive complete wipe and reinstall of everything (including Windows XP), and it will not work. Sorry, guys, but I'll wait for the next one to come around.
Griez:
Well, nothing more than a wild guess...
Anti-Virus software or security solutions?
The Mod activator renames a lot of files in the Diablo II directory. It renames original DII executables and DLLs to *.org and *.ce to .exe and .dll. Anti-virus software usually protects or at least scans every executable on the fly (and it is triggered by extension). While that scan takes place the file is locked and unavailable to other processes, including the activator itself. It could be a simple timeout in the activator.
You should try disabling any security programs while activating or deactivating. You should immediately re-enable them afterwards, though.

I have had the same problem. Installed everything. Did the activation icon ... missing this, missing that the .dll .ce are there but not being recognized and so I would drag them to the desktop and than drag them back. After awhile it took and able to play .... but what a freakin hassle.

Disabled it the last time I tried installing and running it.

Noticed that, it still to this day tells me I'm missing a file, when it's right there in front of me.

Did that, still didn't work.
