DS won't start

Sorry again,

But now another problem popped up after all that. -_-;

How terrible. My Docking Station with all my Norns, agents and worlds just won't start. It thinks it wants to install again. I'm not sure why. I recently installed the CoC rooms but I don't know if they're the cause.

Anyway, the error message I get is:

Installation stopped.

CreateProcess() failed for launch C:\Program Files\Docking Station\engine.exe--autokill.

The system cannot find the file specified.

Can anyone help me? I don't know what to do. :(

If you look in that location the engine.exe file is present? If so then have you tried using quotes round the directory and then adding the space in the shortcut address before --autokill? i.e.

"C:\Program Files\Docking Station\engine.exe" --autokill

Would adding a space help the system to find the file?

I wonder why it's looking in the C drive under program files etc.

I just remembered it won't find it there because it's not installed on C drive. It's installed on my external hard drive. :/ Which is either 'L' or 'G' drive depending on where I plug it in. Lol.

Anyway, I think in this case it's not going to work. I'll just re-install and start over again with my Norns off the Creature Repository and re-inject my agents and worlds.

Thank you for helping me. ^_^ I do appreciate it!

Then yeah, you either can update the shortcut to point to where the game is now or reinstalling it over the current installation will also give you a new shortcut :)
