I cannot install Hyperlobby in Vista. I get halfway through the install process where it wants to add shortcuts and I get the error messege about the file name not found.

Now I did a search through many forums including this one and I tried running it as administrator as well as in XP mode, but no matter what I do I can't get it to install.

Has anyone found a fix to this or am I stuck using Xfire to find servers?

Turn off UAC ?

Run as Admin, think you still get a bunch of errors but it should install and run like normal.

You need to edit a skin file though (cant look it up because im on an other computer now) and change the ... in there to just . so the skin comes up normal instead of gray (if im not mistaken)

For Vista and Win 7

Find the Hyperlobby folder then Skins> Default>Skin>Edit>Replace> ... to ..

HAve fun

Cant even get that far fellas. I have UAC off and trying to open the install exe as admin, but I get 3 or 4 screens into the install where it wants to add icons and I get the error messege that says.
"The File Name: Is invalid"

I am logged into my machine as administrator and I even tried running the install program in WinXP compatibility mode and still hangs at same spot.

I got errors wen trying to install also but it did install everything if i clicked them away.
Started fine from the Start Menu programs list.
Both with Windows 7 64 bit and Windows Vista 64 bit

Are you sure its not your downloaded file that is corupted? try downloading it from a difrent source

Make sure your not installing into the programs folder.

On your C: drive make a new folder called for example "whatever" and install Hyperlobby into it rather than the default programs folder.

This topic was made a while ago...but anyway I recently installed Hyperlobby and you have to set it to Forgotten Battles, not Il-2. That might be it.

I was trying to get it to find the Il-2 .exe instead of Forgotten Battles and it was annoying me to no end because it wouldn't work, then I read Bearcat's guide which says to select FB instead of Il-2 when installing Hyperlobby...
