Re: New to "hard Light", questions
 :) OK guys,

I kept trying to open the retail FS2 launcher and all it did every time was ask to run set-up over and over again.  I somehow stumbled onto the FS2 open launcher.  Something you said perhaps seeped into my sub-conscious! Everything seems OK for now.  Thanks everyone for the assistance.  I'm sure to be back again.

Glad to  hear it! enjoy.  Make sure you enable the enhanced and upgraded graphics.
Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill, and every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above, would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky!

Re: New to "hard Light", questions
Hmm,,want to give me a hint on exactly how to do that?  You see,  even though I finally have things working OK, I'm sure I have missed a thing or two.

thanks.

 
Re: New to "hard Light", questions
It's under the Launcher's "features" menu. Select the stuff you want to enable.

Re: New to "hard Light", questions
The FS2 Retail launcher will actually set up all the registry entries it needs. How do you think the HotU download could work if it didn't since that's just a zip file with all the files inside?

The FS2_Open launcher however will set up all the entries it needs too so there is never any need to run the FS2 launcher.

Eh... I'm pretty sure it won't, from my experience... I need to check this out... will get back to you.  To make the registry pre-FS2, you just delete HKLM\Software\Volition\FreeSpace2 , right?  Then I'll try running the retail launcher.

Is it proof enough for you that I've succesfully played the HotU version? The current version, to be precise. Lacks only the cutscenes.

Re: New to "hard Light", questions
I've tried it before.. IDK what I did wrong.  Like I said, I need to check this out, and will be back with the results.  Then we can see what's up.
