RCG gives Error (13)

[slimjim1970]

Everytime I try to create a new random campaign I keep getting this error. It happens after I start the RCG, the RBG window pops up and after I wait awhile nothing happens. Then I close the RBG window and the error occurs. I have downloaded and installed the IE8 hotfixes properly (unblocked) and I have edited my registry like all of the posts that I have read concerning this topic. Any ideas?

P.S. I am running on a Windows XP system.

have you tried any of the other random campaigns? ie, the 7th panzer should be similar. Also, have you added any map templates to your data\templates directory?

thanks

Thanks Rick for looking at this. I tried starting another random campaign and I selected 7th panzer (long) as you suggested, same error (13). As far as the data\templates directory goes, haven't touched it since the install.

Slim,

I checked an CP install here, and was able to generate a Random Campaign. I don't recall doing any registry edits, but I think my XP system has IE7 not IE8.

I've posted a msg in the dev forum and maybe someone there will have an idea.

I'll look at the IE 8 instructions and see if something else comes to mind.

Also, after running it, look in your Data\Scenario folder and see if you have any scenarios built, name ' @RXXXXXXXXX.XML'. It doesn't sound like it's getting that far, but you could check just in case.

thanks
rick
