Problem with Install.exe
Sun Feb 25, 2007 7:35 am
Hello,
I'm trying to install the files for the latest version of the roster update. When I run the install.exe file I get the following error message after the status bar reaches 100%.
"Internal Error: failed to expand shell folder constant "userdocs".
I am running Windows Vista, however, even after flipping the file to run in "WinXP SP2" compatibility mode I'm still not having any luck.
On a more general note, I downloaded another patch then containing an assortment of DBF files. Doing what I thought the logical thing was I overwrote the existing files in my "database" folder of NBA07. When I reload the game though the rosters stay the same. Any insight there would be appreciated as well.

My guess is that the path the patch is set to install to isn't valid for Windows Vista. Is anyone else having the same issue? If so, I'll have to try and develop an alternative installation method for Vista users.
