Problems downloading using Drizzle

Postby Grimhilde » Tue Jul 06, 2010 7:26 am

I have installed URU: Complete Chronicles and Drizzle25 on my PC (running under Windows 7). However, when i try to download offline KI or any of the fan ages I get the following text in the log window:

Warning: Unable to create folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubi Soft\Cyan Worlds\Myst Uru Complete Chronicles/agearchives/

Incidentally, I have the Pots folder set to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubi Soft\Cyan Worlds\Myst Uru Complete Chronicles

Can someone please advise me as to what the problem may be. Thanks. :)

You need to run Drizzle "As Administrator". That way it can write to your HD. As with Vista, Windows 7 requires you to set permissions for certain programs. Just not quite as bad as Vista was though, heh.

Running Drizzle as an administrator is not possible, as far as I know.
You need to move (not copy) the URU folder to an user folder, like "Saved games". Or you change the security properties of your URU folder. See here.
The word "vegetarian" has an Indian origin and can be translated as: "the one who is too dumb to hunt".

Under Vista and Win 7 you can run a program as an administrator.

First create a short cut (link) to the program. then right click the short cut, click properties, on the tab Compatability towards the bottom under Privilege Level check the block Run this program as an administrator

Thats right, when you make a shortcut from a executable file. But Drizzle is a jar-file, so there is no compatibility tab.
