Bootleg Questions / Re: [Tutorial] Tifa's Bootleg

« on: 2014-01-07 03:45:55 »

System folders the ones created upon an OS installation, so the desktop is a system folder. A non-system folder is any folder you create after the OS installation, so C:\Games\FF7 would be a non-system folder. Try relocating Steam to a non-system folder (e.g. C:\Games\Steam) and going from there.

thanks for the quick reply. I ran into a few other bumps after this, but eventually got it working. Honestly I just got a new computer with windows 8 and I'm having issues doing some of the simplest navigation. With a little extra direction you got me back on track.

➣ When I run Bootleg, I get a message that says "Access Denied. Installation Aborted!".
Right click "My Computer" and select Properties.
Scroll down to "Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings" and click on Change Settings.
In the Advanced tab, click on Environmental Variables.
Under "System variables" find the variable named Path, highlight it, and click Edit...
"Variable value" should have a long string of directories. Add %SystemRoot%\System32; as the first entry.

I have this problem, but the FAQ solution didn't solve it. Below installation aborted it is telling me to run as administrator. I do have it running as administrator so that isn't it either. It also says make sure your ff7 installation folder isn't in a system file. I honestly don't understand what that means, but I have my steam folder relocated to my desktop. Steam has always confused me when it comes to their installation files. I don't actually know where my FF7 installation folder is. I can search for it, but it doesn't appear.  I would post my APP.LOG report, but I don't know how to access my FF7 installation folder due to it being a steam installation. I'm fairly computer savvy being an IT guy, but this kind of stuff really gets me confused. Anyways I'd appreciate the help because from what I read this is the best way to use mods for FF7. I really feel weird asking for help for a non paid for service. That said I wouldn't mind making a donation if I can get this up and running right.
