Pandoras Box on Windows with other languages

Postby Patrick Verhey » Wed Oct 01, 2008 10:35 pm

If you install Pandoras Box on a Windows OS wich is not in english or german be aware of the folder where you install it.

I just had a crazy thing on a spanish computer. The default folder is "archivos dos programmos", wich is the equal to the "program files" folder in english systems. If you install Pandoras Box in this path you will get an error message after starting the programm wich says that some .bmp files could not be found. The Problem on this is that Windows does not allow you paths with endless caracters. So in the spanish case all files with more 24 caracters in the name are not loaded.

There is an easy solution:
Before you install Pandoras Box check if there is a folder on c:/ called "programm files". If not, create one. After that you run the installer an as it asks you where to install you browse the folder c:/ programm files. The rest is followed like usual and everything is fine.

If you want to know why it is like this, please feel free to send a mail to Bill Gates: BillG@microsoft.com
Thanks ;-)

And a new information on this: It only happens with the Version 4.1, the older Version can be installed as usual.
