unable to play TRP

[unmerged(45283)]

Hi, I followed all the directions to install the mod. However, when I click on the config tool, there is only the option to play the vanilla version. The "Launch TRP" bar is gray and inactive. Can anyone tell me what's going on here?

Thanks

It means that when TRP did the installation it did not get the registry entry in for some reason. Are you sure you followed the directions and did not just copy the entire thing in? The installer automatically updates your registry with the new entry. The other question is do you have administrative rights to the machine?

I have admin rights for the computer. And yes, I used the installer provided. It's still a problem even after I made a new install of Hearts of Iron 2 on my computer.

So is there a way to solve this problem?

YOu need to check your registry

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PARADOX INTERACTIVE\Hearts of Iron 2

There should be a Total Realism Project under that with a sub parm of path

I wonder if you have some security feature turned on preventing programs from updating your registry.

I just did, in that section there are three entries:

Default
path: C:\Paradox Interactive
version : 0.7

All the EXEs are in C:\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron 2\ directory. Should "path" point to that as well?

It means you did not follow the installation instructions. Please go to the TRP website where you download 0.7 from and read the installation instructions.

Okay, I figured it out. Thanks for your help.

Sorry to be so rough but there are many people who breeze through the instructions. What I may do is write a pre-install program for people to run that will copy all the files for you.
