Ok, so i have an error with my America's Army and i want to fix it, but whenever i try to run the repair tool in aaup it looks in C:\Program Files\America's Arm instead of C:\Program Files\America's Army. So it thinks everything is missing. I tried going into regedit to modify the install dir but the install dir is correct.. i don't know what to do.

Very strange, can you also provide a screenshot of the AA registry value?
I'll do my best to track it down but atm I have no idea what might be wrong.

o and this shouldn't make any difference since it worked before but i'm running windows 7...but it worked previously on the exact same comp just re installed after a bit of cleanup.

There is a \ missing for InstallDir. It should be C:\Program Files\America's Army\
Try to change it and see if it makes a difference, if not I'll dive in the code and see what's wrong.
-
no... i tried that and it made no difference... then i checked similar entries for what the installdir said on them and there was no ending "\" on them either... so i have no clue what is going on.
-
Looks like in fact it does make a difference as you can see in the attached screenshot.
Change InstallDir in the registry to include a trailing \
Make sure AAUP is closed or at least restart AAUP after you made the change or it will have no effect. -
i guess i still had it open.. that did work... but now i'm curious... not a single other program in the registry has a "\" after it's installdir... why does this program need one if it isn't there by default? maybe that is a glitch in windows 7 or this is just how it is done?
-
For AA there has always been a trailing \ for the InstallDir value, but I guess AADC is doing things differently again ...
There are no rules on adding a trailing \ for an InstallDir value in the registry, it's up to the developer to decide what is best.
