    I am trying to install the Crossfire mod and keep (2 times) getting this error:


    Error: problem activating 'Crossfire Mod 1.82 Client Edition'
    Error: SHCopyFile failed ('C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\EXE\DATA\characters\heads\pi_pirate5_head.dfm.flmmbak' to 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\EXE\DATA\characters\heads\_pi_pirate5_head.dfm')


    What should I do next?

    it COULD be a corrupt download.


    if you haven't already...I'd personally try another "clean" install before resorting to re-downloading, but that's up to you.


    basically there's either a problem at the source (your download) or your destination (the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\EXE\DATA\characters\heads\ folder)
    if you don't have write privileges, be sure to run the installer as an administrator (right click, run as admin), or check to see if the folder somehow became "read only"


    a few possibilities anyway.


    if you still can't get it to work, just post as many specifics of what you've done, what you've done to attempt to resolve it, and like you already have...the exact error.


    i've had a few issues with CF installs in the past..but now that i've gotten used to all the required steps, the dance is easy.


    i'm sure that i've come across that error before, but it was long ago...and i've done so much unrelated troubleshooting since...meh...might just be ninjas. :O
