Imperial Civil War Tech Support / Re: FoC runs fine, but ICW 2.1 will not start.

Got it! 

Apparently, when I turn off my firewall everything works.  I had tried a fresh install of FoC and a fresh download of ICW 2.1 and neither worked... until I turned off my firewall.

So, COMODO internet security suite has been a great product, but I must turn it off to play this game on my system.  Later I may try to add the program to an exception list, but for now I just want to enjoy.

Thanks to all for the suggestions and advice, especially Corey.  So far it is an exciting mod.  Although, it's been so long since I read the books I've forgotten who half the characters are.

Okay, now it starts, but It freezes with an exception error... says to see _logfile.txt and _except.txt for details.

Is it possible the installer file was not downloaded correctly?  It ran, but could it be missing something?

I'm already working off of a clean install, so I will try the other option.  I have enough hd space that it shouldn't be an issue.  I will let you know how it goes.  Thanks in advance for all your help.

There do not appear to be any permissions issues (I went to the properties for the FoC folder and granted everything that wasn't already)... same result.  Also, running the program from an admin user account, program is being run as administrator and in windows xp sp2 compatibility mode.

But, in messing around I did come across something that may be part of the issue.  When I run FoC it is from the Application File EAWXLauncher (via a shortcut).  If I try to run FoC from the Application File swfoc the program starts, but with a black screen.  I can hear everything including the mouse as it scrolls over the menu options, but there is no video.  If the ICW.bat file is linked to the swfoc application file then that may be part of the problem?

The ICW.bat file is in the FoC folder along with the mods folder.  It is not in the mods folder or any of the mods subfolders.

Sure, it is:

D:\Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\Star Wars Empire at War Forces of Corruption\Mods\Imperial_Civil_War\Data

Well, I let the installer do all the work, except I changed the directory from C: to D: (which is where I put all of my games).  Does it have to be installed to C: ?

Imperial Civil War Tech Support / FoC runs fine, but ICW 2.1 will not start.

So I've been playing FoC for awhile on this machine just fine, but ICW will not even start.

I double click the ICW.bat file and what looks like a DOS box appears for a very short time (too short to read what it says) and then nothing happens next.  Program manager doesn't show it as active or non-responsive program... it's like I never tried to run the program.  No crash, no error code, no stormtrooper, no nothing. 

I have the retail version with both patches installed (necessary to run FoC) and used the installer version of ICW2.1.  This is my first mod, so I am not installing over an older mod.  Any help?
