beta 2.06v-4 update installs windows operating system

Post by collegeprof86 »

hi - lots of feedback so far from me - see below... i love this game.. but when i installed the game last night, not only did it install the 1.01 gigabyte files but for some goofy reason it also installed a shadow copy of my windows operating system... i lost something like 15 gigabytes of space during the install... and i did this twice - the 1st time it did this , i uninstalled the whole thing, and then reinstalled it late last night, and same thing... in fact, when you go to the start menu, under battle academy has a line that says windows operating system... ???

any ideas.... seems my bitdefender antivirus might have some conflict with this??? no ideas/

That is very odd. The installer certainly can't do that! I would guess it might be some kind of wierdness with the AV as you say.

But to check, what OS etc are you running on?

Cheers

Pip

I've checked the setup and I don't see how any of this can be related to the installer. The installer just installs the game files to a folder and sets the registry so it knows where they are. It doesn't do anything clever. Its about as vanilla as they come. The only thing I know called vss is Visual Source Safe from Microsoft - its not something to do with the game and Vss is not included in the game in any way. Its a source control program we use to back things up but it definitely is not in the files we sent out!

Is anyone else seeing odd issues?
