Desktop Client not configured properly?

[chillout314]

Downloaded FAH and selected the program to run. Nothing happens. End task and try again. Nothing happens. Restart computer to no avail, also try and uninstall and reinstall. Nothing works. I run program as administrator and I get a CMD prompt that says

Code: Select all

What does this mean?

FAH expects you to do the installation while logged on as the user which is going to run FAH routinely. Do not logon as Administrator because that configures FAH to run only if you always log on that same way.

If your "normal" login doesn't happen to have permission to do the installation, Windows will ask you for a suitable password and continue the installation for that user.

The log shown above does not use the correct starting directory. you are attempting to start FAHClient from the \Program Files (x86) directory. A program's working files must not be created in \Program Files\ so it cannot be run from there as you have done above.

If you choose the default install, the proper shortcut(script) will be used automatically. If you choose to start FAH manually, you must use the shortcut that has been provided for you. That shortcut contains the the proper "Start in" setting ... i.e. it does a cd ... (change directory) command so that FAH can find its working files.

I tried installing on a different drive and not in program files, but still nothing. I just can't seem to figure it out, it simply doesn't connect to anything running normally. according to task manager it runs but sits at 5.8mb use under memory and 0 for everything else.

Have you tried uninstalling it and running a new install as the user that normally runs, using express install and not changing anything?
