Cannot install FC 2.0

I try to install lockon 2.0 but all i get is "Lockon 1.1 not found! installation interupted!" I have lockon gold installed with FC and the latest updates any idears ?

Please try to reinstall original LO or FC.

Look in registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eagle Dynamics\Lock On 1.1\Path and see if it has appended \lockon.bat to the end.

If so, remove just the \lockon.bat part and try again. Worked for me, I had installations from LO Gold CDs installed too.

How about installing FC2.0 on FC1.12 with some mods?

I cant find unmoded copy of FC on my hard drive and my LO CD got scratched so i wont be able to do new installation.

hello,

i have the same problem, the installer can't find the lockon 1.1.

I always choose another file than "C program file eagledynamic" to install my games.

the path is E:/ games/lockon

how that installer can find the lockon original 1.1 file?

I will not reinstall lockon1.1, it took me too long to set up all my changes.

What should i do?:cry:

@topdog - excellent thanks very much :)

I had the same problem and this fixed it.

Super :) Glad it worked. I guess some of the CD revisions shipped had a slightly modified installer bundle.

Let's see if you've got a similar problem or not. Open up the Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt

Then type this in and see what comes back:-

reg query "HKCU\Software\Eagle Dynamics\Lock On 1.1" /v path

For you I guess it should be something like:-

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eagle Dynamics\Lock On 1.1
   path    REG_SZ    E:\Games\Lockon

And you should have E:\Games\Lockon\lockon.exe and the other files existing inside that folder mentioned.

If it comes back with no results at all, or a different location to where you have lockon.exe, or like some of us it has an entry that includes a filename too (e.g. E:\Games\Lockon\lockon.bat) then give us the info about where exactly the lockon.exe is found and what results that command provided and it should be possible to suggest things for you to try.

Thanks topdog works great

No luck. I have clean lock on installed to the default location, but on drive E: command prompt replays to the text topdog supplied The system cannot find the path specified.

If you have a localized version of LockON you might experience an issue where the FC2 cannot recognize it.

You might have to Upgrade the Lockon to FC1.

Then try to run the FC2 setup.exe again - remember to keep all 3 files you downloaded in the same directory, f.ex C:\FC2Setup

If this doesn't work - give us the details on which version you have:

- Windows OS, Language and Servicepack level

- Lockon version installed, and product Language

- FC2 product language

Our operating system is Windows XP, English, Service Pack 3.

I am not sure which version of lockon, how can i determine this? Its in English, as is the FC2.

Ah, English version - If you reinstall Lockon it should fix it's own registry keys again - then you can try FC2 yet again.

If not, just upgrade the lockon to FC1 before trying to install FC2 separatly.

Is there a way I can E-mail to customer support about this, my dad doesn't want to spend more to get this working?

I am experiencing the same issue and I have tried the query. My response from cmd was "error: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value."

I have a heavily modded version of FC1 with multiple installs and the directory is:

C:\\Program Files\Ubisoft\Eagle Dynamics\Lock On\
