i ain't played this game in a few years but i remember having problems uninstalling it because apparently it doesn't like being installed into a directory with spaces in the path.
in fact in the end i had to just delete the directory and then clean the registry out.

just wondering if anyone had developed a fix for this problem in the intervening years?

I know I haven't heard of it (I've been absent, though). Just keep it installed in the default directory on C: and there won't be any problem at all.

I doubt anyone has fixed it cause no one in the community wants you uninstalling FS2

[Unknown Target]

Install it in a path without spaces, cause if you want to use the "-mod" tag for the SCP, it doesn't like it if the directory has a space.

Ummm no.

Welcome to the forums.  And no, we haven't developed a fix to my knowledge.  Just use an _ (underscore) if you have to.

*glares at the loonies waving torches around*

Put those out before you set off the sprinklers in here.

[Taristin]

Bah! Those are just for show!

*waves torch just below sprinkler head*

See...?

Around here I can believe it.

[Taristin]

Oh. Way to encourage the n00bs you guys.

[Moonsword]

Oh, yeah, we're supposed to, aren't we?

Adivce: if you don't want to be flamed, stay out of the political and news threads.

Ehh. If you just state your opinion, and make it clear that it is indeed your opinion you'll be fine. It's when you try to pass off opinion as fact that the forces that be will swoop down and smaketh thine asseth.

i guess i can live with just sticking it in c.
i just prefer keeping my drive as organised as possible and games have their own special folder

[Solatar]

I've got fs2 installed in G:\games\Freespace2, G:\games\Freespace 2\, G:\Crimson Tide\, among others...I've got to track down and delete all these multiple installations someday (remnants of the days before "-mod").

EDIT: Never had problems either.
