The First Decade + TFTW
#1
Posted 12 February 2006 - 06:13 PM
As you may or may not know, EA Games recently released The First Decade, a compilation of all the CnC games.
My problem is that, I can't get TFTW to start up. I've installed into the The First Decade folder, into the Zero Hour folder in The First Decade Folder, and I've even copied over all the Zero Hour files, into the location where Zero Hour would install if it was not part of the The First Decade, and still I cannot get it to run.
One Error I get when clicking on Launch TFTW is a Net Framework error saying, File Not found, with this information:
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this
application or machine (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the machine
rather than being handled by this dialog.

It gives me the option to continue or quit. Both give the same result.
When I try Luanch TFTW WB I get the same error.
I tried overriding, but I wasn't too sure what to do with that. Never worked. So I don't know what to do. Anything you could suggest would be welcome, thank you.

Seems you may not have the .NET Framework installed, the link was given during the installation.
just go to the Microsoft site and search for it, a decent amount of programs tend to need it so its worth downloading.

Just a note, its the TFTW launcher that needs the .NET framework, not TFD

I was almost going to call you a moron, until I realized that was me. I thought I had .NET installed, and it wasn't!
I don't know if itll work yet, just installed .NET, trying out.
Thanks for the help, and sorry for the premptive insult that was uncalled for.

Well none the less, still gives me the same error. Also if I didn't mention before when I click on the TFTW VB Script shortcut, it tells me TFTW was not detected in my ZH directory.
Any more ideas? :/

Waraddict, you do know that the ZH directory when installed from the TFD setup is in a different directory then the one I quoted here right?

Well I don't have any ftw files in there right now, because I have it uninstalled, was waiting for some kind of resolution, would you like me to install it and tell you? Hell ill just do it now now
00TFTWUpdate.ftw to 08TFTWUpdate.ftw
And then 09TFTWArt Audio English INI Maps Music Window.ftw And the other TFTW things I see are a VBScript named TFTW, the TFTW Launch, and the TFTW icon.

hmm, I'd say for the VBScript I only need to update it a bit, some ftw file names have changed since the last time I updated it. I'll upload it here when I'm finished.
as for the launcher, I'm going to test a few things with TFD, my little bro's getting it so I can use his copy for testing purposes.
