The main registry entry that the msi makes is:

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Hue Forest Entertainment]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Hue Forest Entertainment\Amber]
"InstallDir"="C:\\Program Files\\Hue Forest Entertainment\\Amber\\"
You can copy this into Notepad, edit the path to match where you installed the game and save it with a ".reg" extension before you execute it.

I'm sorry for being this stupid, but let me make this clear..

I've created a new amber.reg (how should I name it?) file with the above text, the final path edited to match the path where I want to install the .msi file (amber installer). This I've done. Where should I put this amber.reg file before executing the .msi file? Or should I replace some earlier .reg file with it?

It does not matter what you name it, so long as it has the .reg extension. You merge it by simply double clicking the file.

Got the .reg working (the problem was I copy pasted it first to word, and saving it as a .reg from word did not somehow allow execution).

The next present opens as follows: "Unable to copy the driver file C: \windows \xobglu16.dll to your windows directory. Your disk may be full"

Ran it as administrator, and naturally, the disk is not full. I'm not sure why I keep doing this.. :cry:

Is the file in your Windows directory?

The launch file is in the game directory: c: \amber_jb \new \amber_jb.exe

I couldn't find that file at all. So tried downloading it, putting it to the Win folder, no effect. Also tried making it read-only, as some forums suggested, no effect. Of course, all this done as administrator.

It is in the MSI. Try extracting with 7zip and placing it in the game's folder.

There is no xobglu16.dll in the MSI, only xobglu.dll (got xobglu16.dll from another site but didn't do anything). I don't understand why the game launch file is trying to copy a .dll to my windows directory. Shouldn't this amber_jb.exe only start the game?
