Installing HiRes mod exe

from GalCiv2 Forums

Hi there,

I have finally downloaded the 130Mb HiRes 2.0 mod from http://www.i-mod-productions.com, only to find that unlike other mod files it is an exe file. When I double click it the error message is that  'windows cannot access the specified device, path or file'.

Perhaps I need to open it in a certain folder? I've tried in the main folder, mods folder and in the Twilight folder with no luck.

Or perhaps it doesn't work with 'Ultimate Edition' which is how I got into this game.

Can anyone help me install this mod?

This is a shot in the dark, but what OS are you running? I've had a few problems in Win7 with trying to install mods (not for GalCiv2) into games in the programs folder. As a solution, I had to make a new folder for games on the C drive in order to get the mods to work (i.e. C:\GalCiv2). I believe that there might also be a Mod folder in the My Documents/My Games/Twilight of the Arnor folder. But I can't verify that because I'm using a different computer right now.

Thanks for getting back to me Heft.
I'm happy to report that my problems have been solved. It was caused by AVG security software, and it was solved when a search on the error message found this (unlike in the video, my AVG did not pop up a screen, I just got the error message).

good luck to you

- and yeah, I'm on win7 too.
