Re: TDM-ModPack v3.10 released
The problem is as I previously stated...
Your installation program doesn't like expanding to long directory structures. And in the case of the Malfador/Shrapnel default location.. your program doesn't like it!
The only way to successfully install the TDM-Modpack or any of its patches is to (as others have also stated) move the main SE4 folder to a temporary location like the root of your C: drive for instance, and then move it back once the TDM-Modpack or its patches have been applied.
Regards..
Chris.

Re: TDM-ModPack v3.10 released
I think what Mephisto is asking is what exactly happens? You say it does not like to expand to long directory structures. How do you determine this? Does the installer attempt to install and get an error? If so, what does it tell you?

Re: TDM-ModPack v3.10 released
As I said, I have sorted the problem myself, but if it helps this is what happens..
An error box pops up stating that file is in use or cannot be updated. Retry/Cancel.
Pressing Retry just gives you the same error.
Pressing Cancel just moves on to the next file in the installation process and pops up the same message for that file too.
It maybe just Windows XP related, so would be interesting to hear from anyone else who has had problems installing the .exe files.

Re: TDM-ModPack v3.10 released
I have found a way around the problem. I wish the installer could handle it itself but it's freeware and no more support. 
I hope to post a fix on Sunday or so...

On the installer or the mod? The installer as soon as I find the time, the mod when we have tweaked your races again to justify the release.
