Error: Age [MOUL age] not installed on this machine

[Old Wolle]

I'm glad to hear that it works.
Enjoy the ages.

Wolle, you ROCK! I HAD used two different paths to my POTS folder. Once I copied the "Conversion (Simplicity)" path to the UAM path, my Eders opened right up. I haven't checked every single age yet, but I'm sure they're fine. I left my avatar happily sitting in the Delin garden, enjoying the bird-calls. Thank you SO much! Now I can go back to enjoying the game.
; )

And Yes, ddb, the POTS folder does have the EderDelin.age file, along with all the other MOUL ages. I was surprised to find them there, because I'm pretty sure I couldn't access them when I played POTS alone. How does that work?

I'm not sure where your files came from, but it's great to hear it's working for you now! Thanks a lot Wolle!

I have CC on my system, Offline KI and Drizzle, but still can't access MInkata and pod ages. Just get message: Ages not installed on your PC. I checked the dat folder and don't see Minkata or any of the other MOUL ages. Would those ages be included in ABM? I did have POTS, which I downloaded at the time it came out, but lost it due to a hard drive Crash. Any help would be appreciated.

Attex, do you also have the MOUL files, and did you convert them as well? And be sure that you are consistent in identifying the file paths. My problem was that I had entered two different locations for my POTS files; one on the UAM page and a different one on the Conversion(Simplicity) page. Good luck!

And if you are using Windows Vista or 7, you need to work around some new "features" introduced there. I usually recommend moving your uru folder to your profile ("Saved Games" or similar), mostly because I can never remember the instructions of how to properly change folder permissions (which would be the other way) - that is what you get when you stop using Windows at all

And when you don't have the MOUL-files to convert because of a harddrive crash then feel free to PN me so I will point you in the right direction.

Well, I still get the message Minkata age not available on your PC, also get that message for the Pod ages. I checked my MOUL folder and don't see Minkata in the DAT File; I do see the other ages. When I run CC all the linking books are there for those ages. I checked the folder paths in Drizzle and they are correct. When I run Drizzle to convert the MOUL files I get an error message and the files won't convert. It did run the Myst V conversion. Any ideas? Oh, I'm running XP.

It seems that Minkata simply isn't present on your MOUL installation. If you don't have the Minkata files, Drizzle can't convert them either.

....I checked my MOUL folder and don't see Minkata in the DAT File; I do see the other ages.

Out of curiosity, did you ever link to the Minkata age when the game was online ?

Here is an image of the Minkata files in the MOUL/dat folder...

Yes, I did link to Minkata, but after live closed I had a Hard Drive crash. I recovered most of the files on the HD using, File Scavenger, but it seems some things are missing or corrupted.
