I think I ran into the frozen menu issue with xp sp3 mode on. I'll try it on xp sp2 mode and see if it helps.

Using the unofficial 1.06rev3 patch (latest full game version from the site) and was looking for a solution for the menu freeze issue when using cnc-ddraw (since I really like being able to play in windowed mode). I saw Nyerguds recommend setting the exe to win 95 compatibility. However when I try that I get an error (see attached screenshot) and the game won't start. Running win 10 if that matters.

Here's a thought: Does the installer create a registry item or something similar that remembers what directory you ask it to install into? I used to have my games installed in the standard First Decade folder before deciding I wanted to have them in a folder outside the Program Files (x86) directory. It's very possible I used the installer at least once before that. I tried cleaning the registry using cCleaner in case the installer was using old registry items to decide where to install, but that didn't work. EDIT: FIXED IT! Though I do not recommend doing what I did at all. Basically I scoured through regedit and deleted anything that contained the old install-path. Now when I run the installer it allows me to choose where to install. It even had the new location as the default! Thanks for taking your time to look into this.

yeah, the 3rd and 4th screens (after the readme stuff) simply don't show up at all. It just skips straight to the installation options. I even checked to see if tfd was still in the program and features list (it was) and uninstalled it from there. This took out a lot of the files I had moved so I wiped them all as well. The installer still won't allow me to choose. EDIT: I tried the online mode installer and it allowed me to choose my own directory, but the campaign installer still insists on the TFD directory

The Browse button simply never shows up. I get the License Agreement, followed by the installation instructions, then I'm asked which type of installation I want and finally (after choosing a mirror if I'm doing the web installation) I get the confirmation screen which tells me it's about to install in the First Decade directory. At no point am I even asked which directory I want to install in. EDIT: And I'm running this on win 10

Using this installer, I can't install it into any other folder but the default first decade folder. I initially moved all my FD files into another folder and tried to install over those, but the installer refused to let me change the install directory (despite both readme and the op claiming that I can). Even after deleting the original First Decade folder and just using the full web installation instead the installer still insists on installing everything in the original First Decade folder. I eventually gave up, did the web installation into the First Decade folder and manually moved the files into the desired directory, but then when I try to play offline the game crashes (crashdump included as an attachment). ra95crash.dmp
