Hi folks,

This problem has cropped up often enough to warrant a special sticky reminder.

So as a sort of public service announcement, here goes:

If you're a Windows 7 user, please do not, repeat, do not, install your copy of Steel Fury in the 'Program Files' folder. Sooner or later you'll encounter problems with patches, updates and mod installations.

For your own sanity (and ours) please install Steel Fury in some other folder, drive or partition.

Thank you.

From experience, ANY graviteam game/patching on windows 7 leads to pain if installed to programs. 

Agreed.

Some further information about this Windows 7 (and Vista) phenomenon:

The folders "C:\Program Files\", "C:\Program Files(x86)\" and "C:\Windows\" are protected locations.
Any changes to files in these folders may be 'virtualized', i.e. the updated version is actually saved to a different location, under the user's profile folder.
To add to the confusion, evidently this does not happen all the time, or consistently.
So if you're lucky, you might get away with it once or twice, but somewhere down the line, the law of averages will start kicking in. :)

Thanks......my Steel Fury has always been a thing of mystery with the user missions and having different versions of JGSME?! on my desk top using Win7.
Will start again.  :D

Just been jumpin through hoops getting my AchtungPanzer K43 back on my pc as i bought it from D2D and hadnt reinstalled it since upgrading..
took gamefly 2 months to sort me out.....and then getting it patched was a 'mare too. Still doesnt show on Gamefly as active but can play without using their client which is a bonus   ;D

I ended up putting my game on D: drive, just in case,lol.

I got the same phenomenon.  The mods install updated versions of jsgme on the desk top.  I just kept the older version which was in the game folder.  You could eliminate that one and use one of the newer ones on the desk top if you wished.

I am sure this topic has been visited before...

I cannot get Kharkov to install on my Windows 7 laptop.
I select a file (other than in my Programs folder as the destination) and get this:

"Unable to execute file
Create process fail; code 740
The requested operation requires elevation"

Any ideas?

Thanks Ubermenschx

Are you trying to install it on your C: drive ?

Yes, on my C Drive but not in my programs folder

Installing it to:

C:\Users\Kevin\Desktop\Steel Fury- Kharkov 1942 (Download)

Any ideas?

Try to install:
D:\My_games\Steel Fury_Kharkov_1942\
Perhaps, disk "C" may cause a problem.

Sounds more like a permission problem, Rightclick on your shortcut and/or starter.exe and run as administrator :P

WORKED! Danke!
