6.4 patch messed up my batch files - help

[revrew]

Was running 2 MP leagues just fine with batch files using 6.3, but then came 6.4.

I used Add/Remove Programs to uninstall old FOF. Then downloaded/installed 6.4.

Now, however, when I click on my batch file shortcuts (I use XP), I get this error message:

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Solecismic Software\Front Office Football 2007\frfoot2007.lnk

The parameter is incorrect


I'm far from competent as a programmer. Any thoughts on what I do now?

I can't offer much help, but I'm fixated on that path you provided. I don't understand why any Solecismic stuff would be in the Application Data folder.

Did you do a "custom install" or move any files or folders? That frfoot2007.lnk file is a shortcut to the actual game. Surely that couldn't have been placed there by the install.

Edit: Worth noting that I haven't had the game installed on my machine since 6.2 I think. Maybe the install has changed since then ...

your assumption is correct.
the universe and leagues folders moved to the appdata folder

Can you post your batch file? That might help.

cd ..
copy CCFL\frfoot.* C:\Users\Boomstick\AppData\Roaming\soleci~1\fronto~1\universe
copy CCFL\*.bmp C:\progra~1\soleci~1\fronto~1\Pictures
start FrFoot2007.lnk



Here is mine. I have a folder for CCFL, IHOF, and NFL located under my universe folder. My batch file (above) is located in the CCFL folder.

When this runs...

Line 1 moves me up one level to the /universe folder

Line 2 copies universe unique files in the CCFL folder to the /universe folder

Line 3 copies the universe unique banners to the program files folder (FOF is essentially split into two directory paths nowadays)

Line 4 is a simple link to the FOF2k7 directory path, make sure that link is correct.

You'll probably need to redo that .lnk file, is all. Delete it, go to the game install directory, create a shortcut for the .exe, and replace the deleted file. Not sure why it would lose its association.
