OOTP 10 is working fine on my computer. However, I set my son as another user on my computer, non-administrator. I copied the OOTPX short cut to his desk top and I get the attached error messages. I get the first message the first time I click on the shortcut and when I close that message and click on the shortcut again I get the re-install message.

I tried sharing the shortcut and the Out of the Park folder in the Program Files but neither worked. Apparantly it is not linking the folder in My Documents, the folder in Program Files and the OOTPX shortcut together.

Is there some way to do this with out re-installing?

Thanks,
Alan

Adion,

Which operating system are you using?

Windows XP Pro. I got it to work by copying my OOTP folder in My Documents to his My Documents then added the short cut from the Programs Files/OOTP folder to his desk top.

Thanks.

Awesome, glad it has worked out!

I'll go ahead and close this issue out, then!
