Bootleg Questions / Re: [Tutorial] Bootleg Configurator and FF7 Mod Installation

I found a fix to my Access Denied error!  Depending on your OS/Computer the fix may be slightly different, here is what worked for me:

-Right click on Computer (or My Computer) and go to Properties.
-For me (windows 7) I scrolled down to the section titled, 'Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings' and click Change settings
-Go to the advanced tab, and click on Environment Variables...
-In the System variables field, find the variable named 'Path'.  Select it and click edit.  -This should be a long string of directories from C:\ each separated by a semicolon.  Make sure that C:\Windows\system32 is present.
-If not add ;C:\Windows\system32 to the string, and BAM!  No more access denied!

Negative, and I did try in all versions of safe mode.  Also, previously I had browser windows open but I won't anymore.  Although, I don't think that is(/was) the problem because the Access Denied error comes in the very beginning when it checks the game folder.

Okay, dled that (rather quickly).  It didn't have bootleg so I got that from the main page.  Still same error message, Access Denied  .

Are you saying re-dl everything just for good measure?  Thanks!  So I should just wait for this torrent to complete just to be sure I have all the right files?

Also this one is only 15 gigs where the other was 19... Does it contain everything I will need?

Torrent, then when that began to take awhile (bottom 50%) I went to individually dling them.  I then replaced the files in the torrent so it would be complete so I could seed (also to check I had everything).

Hey guys, I have tried troubleshooting with VGR and PitBrat in the BratChat, havn't really gotten anywhere.  I have a 64 bit system, however when bootleg tries to run it reports a 32 bit system found ( i found this strange ).  On top of that I have reinstalled many times in all different locations (even everything to an external drive) and I STILL get the "Access Denied" error.  The only case that I have not gotten this error is when I put BFE+Bootleg+All the mods in the same folder as the install in which case it goes up to Patching Kernel... (the first time I did it with everything in the same folder it went up to Preparing MAGIC.LGP...).  Regardless of these cases, I should be able to get past the access denied by running it simply with BFE+Bootleg+mods in a different folder.  (it may be possible that one of the many times I installed/uninstalled I left behind some files, this seems unlikely though)

I have antivirus turned off (MSE)
UAC is disabled (slider all the way down)
I am the admin on my comp (actually the only profile on it)
Everything is in a non-system folder (currently F:\Games, game and bootleg separate of course)

My Laptop is only a few months old, and I noticed that other people all posted about this, as far as I saw it was still open though. (JowHoof, ic6n, and a few others)

If there is any advice that anyone can offer it would be much appreciated.
