Also a new custom exe to try if someone would please. http://www.theroad2success.co.uk/Game/Updates/Files/Road2Success.exe it will spit out information into the errrolog.

Can you please run start - run - type in dxdiag Can you click save all information and send me a message on the forum.

Now ive had a few houes sleep im going to see what I can do to track this weird issue. There is obviously a common reason between you all its working out what is it.

if you can try that last exe i posted illcheck back in the morning once I have dropped my son off at school.

Is that file path correct?

No no just testing. This is the replace the one install. Ive just posted a new one above which you can try.

Wasnt anymore there? Did the text file go further down? Can you now try http://www.theroad2success.co.uk/Game/Updates/Road2Success.exe I am going to bed now but if you can try this one it might work. I will pick this up again in the morning as its nearly 3am!

So was this with the exe I provided above?

This is just the filter for the file locate. The Exe i have uploaed will write some locations into the errorlog when starting a new game.

Ok try this one http://www.theroad2success.co.uk/Game/Updates/Files/Road2Success.exe

You dont need to reset your computer. I just tried with a non admin account and worked when put in admin password. There has to be another reason. Let me try one more exe file

My idea is it is mixed up. If you account does not have admin rights then uninstall and reinstall with admin rights. TO do this, uninstall, delete folder. Then right click the setup and select run as administrator. If that doesnt work http://www.theroad2success.co.uk/Game/Updates/Files/Road2Success.exe This will write the details in the errorlog.

http://www.theroad2success.co.uk/Game/Updates/Files/Road2Success.exe New exe to try if fails. This one will write to the errorlog saying where it thinks the database is and what new db is it creating

I am going to nail down this 1st july problem but will need to keep looking tomorrow as im working on the loading new game problem some people are having.

When you ran the install did you right click and select as administrator? If this doesnt work ill make a custom exe to spit out where it thinks the database is.

Where the exe file is and all those others files. Its the base where the program is based.

Thats normal windows bahaviour. Basically when you run the installer without admin rights on your account it wont install it correctly. Ive attached a quck app I wrote (code below) which will msgbox you the base. Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles Button1.Click MsgBox(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory) End Sub Just place in game directory and run. Can you check and make sure there is not a game directory in your downloads folder too.

I think this is a admin rights thing

Ill look at the responses.

Yeah wont do any harm

It cannot be. AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory The game is thinking your basedirectory is c:\users\mohin\Downloads\ Can you try installing the game again and making sure it installs to the Program Files(x86) folder. Run the exe from there and see if works.

What is the location of the files you looked up earlier. Where you replace the .exe file

Where did you install the game. Basically it sets a record using the following. Resources.Add("BackgroundMain", New BitmapImage(New Uri(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory & "Images\Backrounds\Background.jpg"))) AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory <-- this is the games location according to the game, is this correct in your screenshot.

ok so let it run a few moments and check the error log. So I know it can check the database because under existing labels if the list is there it can access it.

Tick artists as producers, difference there?
