Re: Image Mod Wrecked My SEIV Folder
The last time I ran into an undeletable file, the problem turned out to be that the .rar file had "Set File Security" turned on under Advanced Options, Miscellaneous. I've gotten into the habit of checking every time I unpack a .rar , to make sure that box is unchecked.

Re: Image Mod Wrecked My SEIV Folder
I downloaded a few SE5 ship sets from Spaceempires.net in .rar format. When I went to extract some of them, I got error messages saying that 'such and such permissions could not be set due to security settings'. I have Vista, so it might block that, but perhaps XP doesn't - I'll let Fyron know and maybe he can figure it out.

Right-click the .rar and select "Extract Files...". Set the folder you want to unpack the .rar to on the General tab, then click the Advanced tab.
Or you can Open the file in WinRAR and click "Extract To".
I think I remember being able to overwrite the undeleteable files by unpacking the .rar again with that option turned off and "Overwrite without prompt" set, but I was using XP from an administrator account.

Re: Image Mod Wrecked My SEIV Folder
I that exact problem using vista. I had to install the game outside of /Program Files to get it to work. I put the game in C:/Games/SE4, but I think the trick is that it's NOT in .../program files.
Kudos to SJ for giving me that little tip.  |
