I had several mods installed (including GJS) on CC5 on my old laptop which ran Vista. Got a new laptop with Windows 7, and repeated the entire download and install, but now the mods don't work. Instead, I get a message that says something like:
"Failed to copy C:\Program Files\SSI\Close Combat Invasion Normandy\Data\Battles\Acqueville to System\Original\Acqueville because C:\Program Files\SSI\Close Combat Invasion Normandy\Data\Battles\Acqueville does not exist"
The other crazy part is that even though I tried to install several mods, and uninstalled after then didn't work, the game wouldn't revert to vanilla...instead I had the "title page" for the last attempted mod pop up and I couldn't run anything. Had to reinstall CC5 to get back to vanilla game.

Do you use CCV in english language or is it a french, spanish .... version?

Thanks for the response...
I'm running in English and did install the patch. I did the same thing I did on the old laptop, but with no luck this time....
I saw some other posts in the Utah mod forum where ppl were having the same problem. I guess its something different in the installation for windows 7. Going to try the old, 'flick the switch until it comes on method' and reinstall...maybe that'll work.

No, I didn't install into program files (86). I did initially, but once I realized, I deleted and reinstalled into the proper program files folder. The updated version of the game runs fine- its the mods that give me trouble.

And the plot thickens....
I was able to install and run the Utah mod...but then I got greedy and tried to install the Bloody Omaha mod.... which promptly brought up the error message about Acquville and something else about and Atom video/logo, etc....

Acqueville is a stock CC5 battle that the Bloody Omaha mod is trying to backup, install.txt line shown below.
copy $CC\Data\Battles\Acqueville $ORG\Acqueville
Maybe the Utah mod uninstall isn't putting the battle back???
The video directory is required by CC5.exe that has the CD check removed, thus you must create/have a video directory in the CC5 directory to run it. There is a custom intro video for Bloody Omaha that you can download to use with the game when the mod is installed.
