Post by: TigreManuel on July 05, 2014, 03:26:50 AM

I got by installing first this message:

than when i continue by ignoring it, it   is continuing installing  the game  and  download the first patch
After instaling the first pacth and would re-run the launcher i get the error message that the launcher  could not been started  if i wanna search the problem why or  nothing happen aftert the patch  update finnisht.
I allready tried to re donwload the  mod and reinstal but hopeless...
Could anyone say me whats the problem? The last tme i played  EF is about 2 weeks ago and worked fine...

PS: Sry for bad english i cannot   english very well

Make sure you have the admin rights on the folder you are going to install EF.

That's not what I'm implying. As far as I can remember that means the file cannot be written due two things:

1) Because it is being used.

2) Because lacks permission to write.

And as I'm sure number one is not the case, it might be number two. Check this (http://www.byteblocks.com/post/2009/09/02/Change-file-or-folder-owner-on-Windows-7.aspx).

I have that issue sometimes when installing EF or any of it's multiple patches only once. After you change the owner status it will never get that again, at least until you delete EF and the folders and install it later.

Ok i checkt this thing out but the data description are not the same, i can't change something on the right on its showed properties/security.
Does it give an update for win 8 with this fix?
And btw, to exclude misunderstoods, i have eastern front installed but the launcher give me the error message that it could not launch  the game on place from the Ef launcher.
i am thinking about  that the error stay on the  launcher updater itself, what i already had a while ago and only way to fix it was to put it manualy.
