Strange error in 40k files / ab2.2a

[larsgottlieb at forum.dk]

I have a weird one:

I cannot install the 40k files on my system.

When I try, it goes through all the motions - even tells me that the
installation is complete, but 40k system doesn't show up on the game-
select menu. I checked the data folder to find that none of the files
gets copied.

I have had this problem since I upgraded to version 2.2a, with two
versions of the 40k files. These are the only files I have had this
problem with.

I own the 1.4 cd, and have observed the same problem using Windows ME
and on a newly installed 98SE - cleaned down the machine in hope of
fixing it; didn't help.

Today I will try to copy the installed files from my friends machine
(where it all works out perfectly) and put them in manually, in the
hope that it will work this way.

Hope there is something you can do to fix this, as it is rather
annoying.

Unfortunately, this is the first report of this problem I have witnessed.
Given that a large number of AB users utilize the 40K files, I'm certain I
would have had this reported at least once previously if this was a problem
within AB - especially if it has occurred with more than one set of 40K
data files.

Are you sure that you are running V2.2a? This may sound ridiculous, but did
you install it after downloading it? [Note: At least two users have
downloaded updates and neglected to install them.] Please go to the Help
menu within AB and select "About Army Builder". Verify that the version
number displayed is V2.2a. If not, you need the update. If so, then contact
me directly at support@wolflair.com and I will try to come up with ideas of
what might be the problem for you.

Thanks, Rob
