I'm NOT updating the test server tonight as I'm too tired and have to go to bed.

I know that I am probably asking for trouble but is there an accompanying uninstaller for this installer?  I didn't see one added to the Start menu and I don't see one in the OP folder.  Is there anything that would need to be uninstalled after ATOK is over?

FYI in case others have the same issue...

had to copy files from C drive over into my game drive eventhough i set the installer to the correct path...

i have had this issue before with DH's installers so no problem for me...

think this goes for an uninstall too...and that until Bonk gets back...this is the way it is...

thank you DH and to all the others who have helped to bring about AOTK3...

looking forward to it!

All these installers generally do is install new ship and fighter lists and new missions (scripts)

So really all you have to do is copy a few files, not necessary to uninstall anything.

The point of an installer is that you won't have to do that.

Oh, and DH, the problem came up again with the installer.  I think it might be the installer creation program being used, but that's just me.

Do you use Windows 2000 or XP?

XP Home with SP2, and I have my drive partitioned in two and I don't have the game installed to the default location.  That's why I asked if the bug with the SGO7 installer would pop up again, where it would install the mod files to the default game location.

I zipped up the files that the installer created, and then unzipped them into my game folder.  I had to do the same with SGO7.

After installing this, my log-in screen for the D2 is now completely blank.
I'm on VT with 3 other guys who have the exact same thing.
WTF?
Now I've got guys scrambling to uninstall and reinstall and crap...
What gives?
Title: Re: AOTK3: Final Installer
Post by: Kruk on June 01, 2007, 07:59:40 pm
I tried to log on. Blank screen too. I pressed log on and it work, try to logon to server but it says that a missing file name "are we there yet is missing"
Title: Re: AOTK3: Final Installer
Post by: Hexx on June 01, 2007, 08:03:48 pm
Log on works fine for me- the "Are we there yet".scr that's missing is just the lock out file he's using so no one can sign on until it's ready.

your initial log on screen is working fine?
Title: Re: AOTK3: Final Installer
Post by: Hexx on June 01, 2007, 08:09:12 pm
Yep.

I have to copy the installer files from where it pouts them though- still I doubt the log on screen would have been affected, that's from another file
than the one's he should be including in the installer.

I found that my "log-in" button does light up.
Clicked it and it did take me to the campaign selector screen.
But, the mystery of why it's a black screen at the D2 log in screen goes on.

I see this as being a big issue in the creation of mutiple accounts since you can't enter any infomation.
Title: Re: AOTK3: Final Installer

I log on to Stray tavern too without problems.

Ah well, I don't use multiple accounts anyways

Dowload it again and re-install, there was a small bug in the installer that I found and corrected.

For those with no issue, you don't have to re-download.

That actually answers the question. But my schedule has hell written all over it, so I'll miss the first day, and go for day two....


Thanks (assuming that it works  ;D )

AAGGHHH!!!!!!    Has anyone mirrored the installer?

The link at the top of the thread isn't working (I'm guessing DH's machine is offline).

I've got the beastie installed at home but not here, and might actually be able to sneak in a couple of hours of playing time if I can find the installer...

thanks!

My bad - I screwed up playing with my browser configuration  ::)  Got it now.

Doh!  Only to find out I'm firewalled  here.  <sigh>
Maybe Thursday.
