XCC Mixer Directories
Subject description: Not properly recognized
XCC Mixer seemingly lacks a "auto-find" feature, instead relying on the registry to find the games' folders.
How to fix this to include either custom directories or include game directories without having to re-run the installer? What registry edits do I have to do?
Running XCC Mixer as admin does not help.
I run Mixer as admin, save the RA2 directory as RA1's; it only works if run as admin again, not if run normally, which makes problems for me since it's in Program Files and thus admin-protected. See here: https://ppmforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=45729
I'll try Dune and bump if it works, but I doubt it.
Could someone just... show me the registry entry and see if he/she can identify what type InstallPath is? That might be the problem on my end. _________________ One and only developer of the Command & Conquer Dune "C&C D" mod.

Run the XCC Utilities once, it is simpler. Install in some other drive where Windows don't have restriction. And run as admin. InstallPath is String value, your reg file entry format is correct. QUICK_EDIT

Well never install anything into Program Files. Thought this was a know rule since the day Win 7 came out. Hell C:\Westwood\ *GAMEFOLDER* has been my install for all C&C games since RA1 was put there on a Win 98 PC I had in late 1999. _________________
