Crash...

[Crazy]

Hi. I install any terrain here (specialy quebec) with your installer. Everything goes fine. I enter the game, select the new terrain then CTD. Everytimes it does that. apparently, many Win2000, ME and XP users get this error too. Here is the crash log. Access violation in ntdll.dll...

Hey all... maybe a similar problem get theater.lst when runing a theater installer? hummm not sure... i always guess! anyway...this kind of installer program was so good!

Well it's simple. NT os, apparently was takin' the last character as a part of the directory (eg : artquebec \ ). And it doesn't exists (falcon4\artquebec \ doesn't exists) and was CTD because the files weren't found. I guess Win98 was querying the last char of the directory and removed it if it's a space or whatever.
