FH2.4 Installer - Destination Folder
« on: 13-06-2012, 15:06:10 »
Forum of one recently launched FH server gets a lot of messages from newcomers like "When I launch FH, the game says 'Couldn't find <insert dll name>!'" (there are similar posts here in Help / Support). The reason is wrong installation path, mostly due to the following features of the installer:

1. If you select destination folder with Browse button and if selected folder is not named "Battlefield 2", the installer adds "Battlefield 2" to selected path:



2. Some people install FH in "mods" folder, e.g. select "...\Battlefield 2\mods\Fh2" path instead of "...\Battlefield 2". I think that renaming "Destination folder" to "Battlefield 2 folder" in UI would help with this issue.

Yes unluckily no one had time to fix it.

IMO this kind of issues can be fixed even after release. Then at least those, who will download 2.45 in next 12 months, won't face them.
