Pirates of the Caribbean Mod

I've just installed Pirates of the Caribbean and i'm trying to install a mod for it but in order to that you need to run a .bat file which copies/ammends the required files. The only problem is that in vista every file it tries to copy/change it just says access denied. Anybody got any clues how to get around this?

  • AMD Athlon X2 4800+
  • Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe
  • 4GB PC-6400 OCZ RAM
  • ATI HD 2600XT GDDR4
  • 500GB Seagate Barracuda
  • 160GB Seagate Barracuda
  • Corsair HX520W PSU
  • Antec P182 gunmetal grey case
  • Vista Home Premium X64 SP1

eggyuk,

Two options come to mind for this situation.

When running the .bat file, run it in a command prompt window as an administrator.

You could also try to take ownership of the folder it's trying to run in. (if you need help with that let me know)

I hope this helps.
