PDF,

Hmm... I'm not 100% sure why you are getting that message. The program does work on Win98 as I just tried it on my Win98 machine here and it worked fine.

I looked at the code and the only reason that you would get that error message is if the util could not open "Dom2.exe" in its directory - for all other problems you would get a different error message.

The only things I can think of to check:

1) Make sure my util is in a directory with your dominions 2 executable and that the executable is named "Dom2.exe". If it is renamed say to "Dom 2.exe", my util will not find it.

2) Make sure Dominions 2 is not running in the background when you try to run my program. My program requires exclusive access to the executable so if Dom2 is already running it will fail. (I may change this in the future to only require shared access as I realize many people are hosting games and would not like to exit them just to run a util).

If after you've checked both of those things it still doesn't work then I would try copying your Dom2.exe and my executable to a new directory, say C:\temp, and try it from there.

Let me know if this solves your problem. If not then I'll have to dig a bit deeper.
