Hi Doug,

Did you remove the farcry mapping in CF?
That needs to be done for farcry 5

If there are no projects created, and you browse to /farcry
you should see a page that says as much and gives you a link to the installer Page
- you dont get that page?

Not sure way it says Molio is unsupported - feels like it is an old version to me

I downloaded from Subversion yesterday and install successfully
http://svn1.cvsdude.com/modius/farcry/packages/mollio/trunk

This gives you everything you need - core / plugins / installer / projects / skeleton
Which is probably what is used to create the build zip,
But if you have time (and bandwidth) might be worth a shot.

Hi,

I'm doing my first fortress installation and, as I was working through
it I came up with these comments I figured the powers that be might
like to see:

1) I'm installing FC5 under my webroot. So, I downloaded from
http://www.daemon.com.au/builds/beta/, extracted to /farcry under my
webroot and browsed to http://whatever/farcry and got an unfriendly
error. I assumed the error was due to me having a mapping for Farcry
4 already, but thankfully Jeff Coughlin caught me first and pointed
out I needed to browse to /farcry/core/webtop/install. It would be
really nice if the system could check if I'm installed and redirect me
to the installer if I'm not.

2) On step 3 of the installer it prompts me to select a skeleton. The
only option in the drop down is "Mollio (Unsupported)". I tried not
picking anything and was told I had to select something. So, my only
choice is something that's not supported.

3) Step 4 tells me I can select plugins beyond what's in my
skeleton... but there are no choices.

4) When running the installer it died because, for some reason, it
decided to try to look for files under the farcry 4 application.

Can Farcry 4 and 5 not coexist next to each other?

Thanks,

Doug
