I'm sorry to repeat a question that has probably been asked and answered a number of times, but I couldn't find an answer that I could understand.
I've always played DH Full Vanilla, version 1.03 RC3, letter code BYGX. I would like to try World in Flames. I followed the directions in the "Installation instructions for World in Flames" section of the "ALL IN ONE for World in Flames II for DH 1.03 RC3" thread as far as the fourth bullet point, and everything seemed to go OK. I did not understand understand the 5th and 6th bullet points because they seemed to call for a second download, but there did not seem to be second download link.
However, I thought things might have gone all right, because when I launched DH, World in Flames II showed up in the "Load a Mod" box, complete with the "ALL IN ONE" logo. However, selecting it did nothing. The game came up as Darkest Hour Full vanilla, letter code BYGX. In fact, I could not select Darkest Hour Light either; that also came up as Darkest Hour Full. That is why I think my launcher might be at fault.
When I launch DH, I normally get a message box saying "Error was encountered when writing to the configuration file and the settings could not be saved. Do you want to run the game with previous settings anyway? Yes/No". I thought this had something to with the "compatibility files" problem I sometime have with save-games. Trying now, I find that selecting either yes or no makes no difference to the problem of being able to launch only DH Full. I have also tried rebooting, because that is the only thing I could think of to try.
So I guess my questions are:
Is my launcher broken?
Did I download World in Flames, but not the All in One mod?
Or did I screw up the download of WIF altogether? (It seems to be there, in my "World in Flames II folder" under Mods; the scenarios referred to in the All in One thread are there.
Sorry again to beat a simple problem (I hope) to death, and thanks in advance for any help.
