I don't think error code=5 was ever solved (basically Config Manager refusing to copy files).
It happened on WinXP machines also.
I would suggest manual install of the mods?

I'm not sure I understand your error, But if it says that it can't copy the files because the original folder does not exist, you will need to modify the registre keys as explained here

I had that problem when i first got vista

Panzermyer if you have made it here i had a problem getting my mods to install Schrecken pointed me in the right direction.

this is what i did I changed my Exe to windows 98 i lost my multiplayer. So I went back and changed both my configuration manager and my CCV exe to "Windows server 2003 (service Pack!) and I also checked the box that says"Run this program as an administrator" my multiplayer returned.

all i had to do was......
bring up the properties window for both the ccv exe and the CfgV13 goto compatibility and make sure both are set to the same mode. Like I said I also checked the box that says (Run this program as an admin)

mine works fine now and i have multilplayer back.

I hope this will help some vista users..

again thanks to those people who helped me figure this out I appreciate it very much.

I think this boils down to a permissions issue. The C:\Program Files\ folder is unwritable to all users but administrator, atleast thats the default config. So like Schrecken said, running Config Manager as admin will fix it.

yes that will fix it. This is how it worked for me.

I have to run my CfgV13 as administator. But my CCV EXE you can leave the administrator off. Other wise it will not launch the game becuase it will need permision. I know this through trial and error.

Also people having problems with with there multiplayer disappearing is or was simple fix for me. I changed it to windows 98 and lost the multiplayer. I switched back to Windows Server 2003(Service Pack 1) for both my CfgV13 and my CCV EXE and it came write back.

I am off and playing online with out any problems.
