OK, guys thanks for the replies, I guess I didnt wait long enough for the guide to download, I will try again later as I would like to read it.
Anyway after checking other threads I see the general "fix" seems to be delete all, re-install, So I tried that again and this time everything went OK, So now I have CF17 installed and running in Open SP. I dont have fast enough internet for online play anyway.
It probably didnt like the two copies of FLMM installed either.
