Er, I was directed here from a friendly post on the main forums, and I cannot understand anything anybody said in this thread, and I read it ALL. Are you saying it works in windows or it doesnt? Sorry for being so dense, I can't program my dishwasher. And thank you so much for your time and effort you all put into this.

It works, unless you have installed Dominions into a folder with a blank in some folder name.
E.g:
C:\program files\games\dominions3 does not work,
C:\programs\games\dominions3 does work

Actually, I would recommend not to install Dominions into a subfolder of c:\program files\, anyway. Better set up a second drive (letter) and install to d:\games\dominions3 or something like that. c: is the system drive and should only be used as such! (esp. true with Fista)

It probably would still work if you had a space, so long as you use the 8.3 nomenclature.

Ie., C:\progra~1\dominions3...
rather than
C:\program files\dominions3...

8.3 is usually 6of the name + ~#, but you can find it with dir /x if I remember.

catgod could work this way, at least with Win2K/XP, not sure 'bout Fista/7, though.

CatgodGUI would not, simply because there's no (easy) way to use the 8.3 notation: I get the complete folder path from the windoze API, and feed it back ... normally, there shouldn't be any need for tinkering with the path name.

There is a way to do that, but only for those who can program their dishwashers: after configuring the dominions directory, open the application.ini (which is in the folder where you ran CatgodGUI from), and change the path names.
DO NOT use the configuration button afterwards, though!
I haven't tested that, though, so it or might not work !!!

PS: Thanks for bringing this up again - I completly forgot I wanted to do a "workaround" version of CatgodGUI that works with all path names !!!
I'll have a look into it, but don't expect any results too soon !
