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?

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.

The first solution has worked perfectly. Thanks for the help Joe
