You can look in my sig for troubleshoot FS2: md5 and use that to verify your files, that will work.  :nod:

1) Install to PC A.
2) Download OpenAL
3) Copy the entire folder to PC B
4) Install OpenAL on PC B
5) Open launcher6.ini ensure that the path to the game is correct (i.e if PC A was installed in C:\Games\Freespace2 and PC B wasn't you'll need to alter the path to where ever PC B was installed to.)
6) Run the launcher. It should now set up the registry, etc.

That should be all that is required.

True.. I was thinking it might have been more of a copy error on one or more of the files.... :nervous:  Try karjorma's advice first.

I think the problem is that I ran the launcher before I fixed thee msi.
how can I fix this?

Delete launcher6.ini and try running the launcher again.
