Fix for BoS:SR 1.0 installer errors on modern Windows
I was getting errors like:
Cannot create file ...\backup\modules\ship.mod
Tried manually creating modules but fail
and later:
Cannot create file ...\modules\ship_tmp\alienchatting.dlg
the fix is quick and easy
What fixed it for me:
In the extracted bos_sr_1.0 folder, make sure these empty folders exist:
modules
backup\modules
Open:
bos_sr_1.0\tslpatchdata\changes.ini
in Notepad.
Press Ctrl+H and replace:
Modules/
with:
Modules\
Save changes.ini and run BoSSR_1.0_install.exe again.
After doing that, the installer completed with:
“Done. All changes have been applied.”
I’m using the GOG version of KOTOR on modern Windows and extracted the multipart archive with 7-Zip. Hopefully this saves somebody else some time.
