I had this same problem a couple of days ago but on a Windows XP machine. I had previously installed, (correctly), and played crossfire. However, a couple of days ago my over-zealous virus scanner decided that the Freelancer.exe was a virus and deleted it. It has done this before, but it always left the freelancer.exe in my mod folder alone and to fix it I would copy that .exe to my FreeLancer folder and I could play again.
This time it got them all. I figured it would be no big deal and I would simply download the lastest version and reopen it (with my virus scanner disabled) and go from there. Thats when I ran in to a big problem. When I ran the executable it unzipped all the files correctly except for Freelancer.exe. Instead, it unzipped a 33 Kb file that I could not copy anywhere (it claimed the disk was write protected). I tried re-installing everything (FLMM, FreeLancer, ect) with no luck. I re-downloaded the file from both the swat portal and modsbd sites, still no luck.
So a couple of related questions: How big is the .exe file supposed to be? All I need is the
crossfile launcher. Anyone know where I can get that?
And before you ask:
- I have admin rights on my computer
- I followed the instructions exactly for re-installation
- I am running Window XP pro
- It used to work just fine before the 01-25 version.
Thanks
One last thing: I just re-installed Freelancer just to play this mod, and it was worth it.
