Can't download stuff!

[peterevo]

Ok, Whenever I download a map or mod it downloads, but after i click run it says, "cannot move file: access denied" or something like this, it is incredibly frustrating, any help, thank you

FIRST POST

[pharoph]

from what i understand your trying to run spring from the mod/map you downloaded. is this correct?

[manolo_]

k, im not sure if u mean this, but try this (if u dont did it):

when i try do dl some spring-related stuff and the ask the browser asks u waht to do, try to open the file with spring\archivemover.exe. ur spring-related files will be put into the correct folder and dont try to open the *.sd7-files with winrar

I think he is using archive mover, but his account privileges are stopping it from actually moving stuff or something.

[caldera]

try to manually move the files to the spring-folders:
maps go to ...Spring\maps\
mods go to ...Spring\mods\

[koshi]

imo this is a perfect example of why mods/maps belong in user space

[Machiosabre]

wouldn't that just stop him from moving it someplace else?

[koshi]

huh? surely he'll have write permission below his "home" dir (insert vista equivalent here)
this has been discussed (shitstorm inclusive) before btw: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=15185

[Machiosabre]

can he remove it from where it was downloaded though?

[koshi]

i'd find it mighty strange if he could download a file to a location without problem, but then not remove it again

[Machiosabre]

man, I agree with the guys against it in that thread
I hate keeping stuff in account related folders

[koshi]

you did get that if you know what you're doing you can still pool your stuff wherever you like?

[Machiosabre]

yeah, but giving me extra work isn't something I usually support

[koshi]

how about i put a textbox for SpringDatadir into springsettings (with browse dialog even) then? should be the least possible amount of work for you

btw, SpringLobby already has that

[Machiosabre]

I think the least amount of work would be putting the stuff in program files :-

you could add that option so confused people could check where the files are, though program files is pretty obvious.

[Forboding Angel]

Program files is locked down hardcore by vista (thank you linux for giving m$ that... excellent... idea).

The rest of us wanted either c:/games/spring or c:/spring or somesuch cause then the OS doesn't give a shit, but alas. Failuserdirs won the fight. And now when .77 is released my installer is 100% fucked.
