Ooh new forum heh... anyway
I've installed Earth and Beyond Demo on to my Netbook, which is currently running the RC of Windows Embedded Standard 2011. Which is basically Windows 7 Ultimate minus a lot of features such as the Games and many of the IIS tools and General guff such as the Search Indexer.
I've installed .Net framework 4 on it, which includes 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5, nevertheless the Net 7 Launcher starts (v1.9.8) and it shows the server is online with so many players.
It updated Earth and Beyond and so on, and it was good to go. But when I press Play, or any other button for that fact, nothing happens, nothing in the Help menu works neither except the "Advance Settings" option. The Launcher menu works, and I can change from Multiplayer to Multiplayer (Custom), but the critical functionality of the launcher does not appear to be working.
If I launch the net7proxy.exe file, using the /ADDRESS:(Server IP) parameter, It picks up it logs on with the proxy, then it launches earth and beyond, but EnB once loaded brings up the message about it ending on September 24th 2004, asking If I have an EA Account, and eventually to the INV-300 Error message.
I have tried everything from Running everything in Windows XP (Service Pack 3) Compatibility mode, to Reinstalling all the components required for EnB to run.
I'm wondering is it possible that .Net framework is not installing properly, in turn causing the Net 7 tools to not perform correctly?
