Detailed description of your issue
Hello, I made the mistake of deciding to uninstall my working version of BOTF in an attempt to install the latest version 1.0.1 of the All in One installer to make sure I was using the latest version of everything. After doing so whenever I try to open any of the mods nothing happens. I have updated the paths in DxWND so they are correct. I've tried running as admin but still nothing happens - no app opens, no message or popup - nothing. I'm at a loss and would appreciate any suggestions.

Edit: I did some more troubleshooting and it appears the installer did not update the correct paths for the game (I have a different partition for games) and after fixing the ini file it starts to launch but I now get the following error despite there being a disk.id file in the folder:

Hi cbosdell,

I agree strange error since as you stated disk.id is present. So this sounds like an install path issue.

But first I need to ask did you install DxWnd from "Tools" of All in one installer?

A few things you can also check,
1. install/CD paths in stbof.ini
2. Target and start in paths for desktop shortcuts and or start menu shortcuts.

installer did not update the correct paths for the game

what should have correct path been and what did you change? and where did you change path (shortcut or stbof.ini or DxWnd path)

also please provide install path you are using so I can try to duplicate issue.

Thanks for the reply. It was just in D:\BOTF\. I had a thought this evening to install it on my laptop and it worked without issue so I copied that install directory over to my desktop and changed the ini file with the D:\BOTF\ path and now it's working great so far. Not sure what the issue with installing on the desktop was but I seem to have bypassed the problem.
