File Header and Unable to Delete Errors

[DRG]

No there is no newer version. v1.01 is the one everyone has

Here's a couple of somewhat unrelated questions

When you installed the game did you put it in the default Program files location or did you install it someplace else ? Check it's location and ensure that the Campaigns folder is physically in the same place as the main game ( Vista / Win7 sometimes does "creative" things )

When you find the campaigns folder look for UCAMP001.DAT and check it's properties and let me know if it's been changed to read only status. If it has, un-check that so that it's a changeable file then go and try moving it again.

As an aside if this campaign you want to try has not been updated since it was first released there is a very good chance there will be problems with the units but that depends on what nations are involved. There have been massive reworking of some OOB's and weapons data in the past couple of years and each release usually sees dozens of scenarios revised in the patches and a number of campaigns have been massaged as well

Just a thought here but why are you doing it that way in any case.
Extract the new campagins to a folder called say temp.
Start Campaign Hack nav to that folder & renumber them.
Now just copy them into your campaign folder.

Cant see the files becoming read only unless you mucked about but as someone said if you accepted default install to programs the system could be hiding the files.

Either way doing a fulldisk check would not cause any harm as would say thats your other problem.
Best done overnight unless you have a small drive

No dice Folks.

Don - program is installed in default C:\Program Files\Shrapnel Games\The Camo Workshop\WINSPMBT\

File Attributes - Read Only and Hidden are OFF.

I checked effective permissions from WINSPMBT down - I have Full Control using the current account that I play with.

John - tried renumbering in place when I unpacked to a temp directory, no go. Getting the File Header Error. It's a brand new drive, no disk errors from OS level.

I also repermissioned WINSPMBT down explicitly with my own account rather than relying on privileged Built-In group memberships.

So we know what the problem is as has been said twice now.

as someone said if you accepted default install to programs the system could be hiding the files

This is exactly what you just said you did & why it does not work, the system has lost track of the files unless accessed through its parent program, in this case MBT.
You are trying to move ghost files.
There is a sticky thread explaining it all MBT & Vista applies to Win 7 to if you want to read it but in a nutshell.

DO NOT INSTALL ANYTHING IN PROGRAM FILES & you wont have any problems.
Exception is security stuff like anti virus firewall seem fine in there some might be better

Reinstall anywhere else & it will work fine.

I could give you the work around to switch off what it does but the easy solution is in capitals above just make a folder called games or something & stick it in there.

In the unlikely event this does not work you have a disk problem & need to run diskcheck as have already said.

Try deleting or moving a saved game using explorer or whatever you use or for that matter a word document you created if words in program files.
You probably cant because its a ghost not the real file.
