i have never tested the launcher on Vista the ActiveX "msinet.ocx" is needed by the launcher, but also included in the mod... at least u can try to register that component by opening a command window and entering this line "regsvr32 c:\program files\microsoft games\freelancer\exe\msinet.ocx" (adjust the parameter to match ur freelancer path)

since i don't have vista (and don't plan to get it unless i am forced to do so) i cannot give a "how to do" list maybe u want to check for your firewall, as i have heard there might be some problems there. also you can check the lancers reactor forum for some threads concerning vista and freelancer...

(Quote) u have not used search functions properly! i searched LR for "multiplayer" and "vista": http://www.lancersreactor.com/…orum_id=19&topic_id=41481 http://www.lancersreactor.com/…t_title=Freelancer&M=True there r other ppl not able to play FL MP on Vista!

since u know now that this is a prob with vista and ppl r waiting for a patch by MS, what would u like us to do? doing MS work and making a vista patch ourself?^^

(Quote) loooool

so we have 2 different problems mixed up here or all the same problem? a) Starchild has an error with "missing" components and there i said to try with registering msinet.ocx b) magnet14 cant access MP only, where singleplayer runs just fine --> b) there is a prob with Vista and Freelancer as stated some posts earlier (other ppl complained about FL and Vista on LR, too. so if MP runs on ur friends machine u r lucky) --> a) what is the error message after registering those components?

starchild, please try download following (on ur own risk, since i don't have vista for testing this myself): MSInet extract that cab file somewhere, then right click on "msinet.inf" and select "install"

(Quote) indeed!!!

(Quote) it couldnt download to the appropriate position. as already mentioned by goodone u need to start it as an administrator. also u need to have the permission to write into ur freelancer path. also u might need to get rid of any read only attribute in ur freelancer folder. (Quote) assuming this is [E5] and not [E4]: the installation is corrupt, some files r missing or u have no permission to write into the freelancer path...

i am sorry to say this, but getting rid of the flmm wouldnt help here. the problem with permissions if not using administrator login is not only with flmm, but with the update process via CF launcher (like Aukmune had -> Error [E5]), too

please check, if u removed every file from the saved games folder (including restart.fl)? else: if it's a Vista problem i am not very much of a help - i run XP.
