Re: Can not get FS2 to run
Another quick question - how do I make sure FS2 finds the OpenAl32.dll file?  Should I install it on the zip-drive in or out of the FS2 folder?  I am guessing that it is going to look in the computer's registry and not in the zip-drive.  It is weird that I can run X3 Reunion and all of the Evochron games (haven't tried Mercenarys yet) without problem, but games like FreeSpace2 and StarLancer give me problems.

Re: Can not get FS2 to run
The dll should be in the same folder as the FSO exe.
People are stupid, therefore anything popular is at best suspicious.

Re: Can not get FS2 to run
Well here is the error I get now - fs2_open_3_6_12r_INF.exe - Entry Point Not Found.  The procedure entry point alcGetString could not be located in the dynamic link library OpenAl32.dll.  This error happens if OpenAl32.dll is in the FreeSpace2 folder.  If it is not, and just on my zip drive, I get the error that OpenAl32.dll could not be located on the computer.  Also, when I try to run OpenAl installer from my zip I still get the same admin. error.
