Download Manager

[ShaunZAR]

First time i am using Download Manager, Don't know if quarantine has made me stupid. But i have a issue.

I have logged on successfully, but my error comes when i want to play a file. 

The program is looking for the Path 'C:\Program Files (x86)....... Look at the attachment.

I know the issue will be because i have installed it on my D:\ drive. But there is no way of redirecting the path??

I took a shot in the dark and created a shortcut and added it to the path to no avail. 

Any help 

Thank my Fellow Idiots

The application has been discontinued.

[Sitting-Duc]

Or not I read demo manager not download manager on the screenshot. Which is it?

[ShaunZAR]

Oh crap, I'm talking about Demo Manager. It's this social distancing and lockdown that has me not thinking straight. Haha

[Merlin007]

@ShaunZAR

What version do you have?

[ShaunZAR]

version 2.2.0.0

I'm confused now - when you said 'still not working' - who was it in relation to and was it a question or statement?

In any case the file is in the download section.

OK so your issue is a separate issue and unrelated then. 

Shaun's is because of the install location.

[ShaunZAR]

@Buffalo Cody as usual. haha

 

[ShaunZAR]

Correct, seems like the only way to solve this is to uninstall and reinstall the game on the c:\ DRIVE.

If there was a setting to allocate a path for the program it would have helped. Like on the COD4 demo manager

I mean it's solvable yeah.. just haven't looked at it at all.

You have me confused again though, what is the 'COD4 Demo Manager'? as opposed to the demo manager that you are using?

[ShaunZAR]

There is 2 different Demo Managers that i am aware of. The one supports i think COD2, COD3 and MW. @BlackRose can clarify. 

But the one for COD_WAW only supports that game, My version is 2.2.0.0. So seems like that is my only solution.

Thank you so far

The 'XI Demo Manager' supports COD2, 4 and COD 5 (WAW). It is mainly used by the COD5 players.

@ShaunZAR - I had a look at the code and for COD5 it should be using the app data path: 

        private readonly string _codWawAppDataPath =
            Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData), "Activision",
                "CoDWaW");

Can you provide the full stack trace please? (click the details button on the error message).

Thanks

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

@ShaunZAR thanks. 

The code that is being invoked and determining the path for the exe is using the registry. Are you familiar enough with regedit to have a look at one of the keys?

The code:

        private Game GameInstalled(GameVersion version, string name)
        {
            if (Registry.GetValue(@"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Activision\" + name, "codkey", null) != null)
            {
                var game = new Game(version, name);
                var path = Registry.GetValue(@"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Activision\" + name, "InstallPath", null);

                if (path != null) game.InstallPath = path.ToString();

                return game;
            }

            return null;
        }

As you can see it checks for your game key to confirm it is installed and configured and then gets the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Activision\Call of Duty WAW" value. It is that value that I would like to see. Can you provide a screenshot of it?

Do not include the value of the codkey in the screenshot.

Hi Duc, Thank you for you help. I have a good idea about regedit. used it back in the day. think the easiest would be if we can meet in TS.

We running in circles but seems like you have a good idea how to solve it.
