Need help win7
-
I down FLMM 1.31 and then the Discovery 4.85 and I am not sure what to do from there i oppened it and the look around. The only thing I seen that made sence to click was a file simply title Discovery Freelancer its file type is a shortcut so i assumed this was correct. However, when i click it a message appears that is is titled Open File - Security Warning then i click open then the mother F***ER opens another message that says the specified path does not exist… check path, then try again. Im running windows 7 i believe home edition. Please help
Update: Sorry didnt realise how big my screen shots would turn out. Anyway for details on the problem Just scroll down I didnt realise I could edit my orginal post or i would have add it here. Anyway thanks you for information you may provide me.
Update: Issues has been Resolved!!! YAY!!! I just reinstalled in all on my desktop… now there is not more path finding difficulties. Anyway thanks for your help

Sorry my reply took so long Im using my cell phone to connect to the net. I found a new problem that may be causing the the other issues. I’ll post the my screenshots.
Iusses 1: I will start with the new one.
1. Its with me FLMM I cant seem to activate any one them.
2. when I attemp to an error message appears.
3. I thought I download FLMM 1.31 however at the top of my FLMM is says 1.3 not sure if thats related to these issues or not.Issue 2:
1. I double clicked the file it just opened so I Extracted the zip
2. I open the extracted file and the only what I the appears to be what i need is titled Discovery Freelancer and its file type is shortcut.
3. I click shortcut and it brings up a Security Warning. ( I know that i could disable this function but I choose not.)
4. I click Open then a new message appears. It says something about a path, you’ll see it in the screenshots. -
That worked for the FLMM but not for the discovery mod

Ok if do this will it auto install or will i have to do it manually

Ok new im really going to sound like a computer newoob but, how do i do this. never used winrar before. I got it download and tried a few things but I dont think i was even close to right.
Wow I feel stupid for not knowing. However, ignorance is what inspirers good converstation.

Simple step one check: Is the path pointing to wherever you actually have Freelancer installed?
I’m seeing the link pointing to “C:\Program Files\…” while you have FL installed under “C:\Program Files (x86)\…”. That just means the installer sucks and that you can just edit the path the shortcut is pointing to (right click, properties, add the " (x86)" to both text boxes).

Thank you i think this will work not sure yet. Anyway do you have any suggesting for Installers? like which one and where a can grab a free download… working on a very tight budget i get of Zero
Any who thanks again -
Not sure its a case of ‘installers’ matie - there is nothing wrong with just using winrar as an extractor or archiver for your files. Its the .exe extension you use to install the device/program with, which you ascertain through extraction from the main folder, unless I’ve misinterpreted your meaning. Most people use WinRAR to do so as its efficient and free.
Aside from that, FF covered what I see.

Actually, 7-Zip is better in virtually all cases (faster, multicore support, open source, supports more formats…), but this is more of a case of bad configuration than bad installer or extractor.

Thanks, however, i have resolve my issue. I actually had it in random locations so the thing couldnt find a path. So I reintalled everything right to my desktop now it works great XP
