Default Re: LAN helper

Call me crazy, stupid or whatever you want - it did not function!!!

I believe that it works - but what the hell I m doing wrong?

For a test I started a new game (only 1 human player / and only at this machine - no LAN) - that should be go, right?

I ve created a new game labled
"Test" -> Savegamefolder "C:\g\SE4\"

I started the first round and the game file is in C:\g\SE4.

Now I start the MultiplayerHelper with following settings:
Path to EXE: "C:\g\Space EMPIRES IV\"
Game folder : "C:\g\SE4\"
Game name: "Test"
I am... : "Player" - No.:"1"
Total Players: "1"
Password: "*" <- nothing, only default value

and ...
ERROR - and dont understand it.

The tool copies the file to
"C:\g\Space Empires IV\Savegame" - at the right position - but that s all.
From my point of view - at this time the tool only has to start the game - but only the ERROR-message still stands up.

When I delete the Test.gam file while the MPHelper is still running - the tool will copy it another time and so on.

Dont understand it at all.
