 |
|
I'm trying to install into rFactor (not standalone) and I get a message
"Failure to open file for writing" Program files/rfactor/gamedata/helmets/historic gt/ad ve**********
I have the GTL disc in the drive.
And I'm using Vista.
Any ideas? |

You mean this error, right?
To solve it please run the mod installer as administrator
Other users had that problem and solved it:
