On Win 7 the only folders at C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\Local\0 A.D. are cache and logs so should I just create C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\Local\0 A.D. alpha\binaries\data\mods\public and extract the zip there.

Can you explain what error messages you were given (if any)? Have you extracted the public.zip file in your installation directory (not AppData\Local)?

[Loki1950]

The error messages are that the app does not have permission to open certain files not named.I have not expanded public.zip in the installation folder have a copy in My Documents though.

Yes. It's mentioned in the Known Problems topic in this very forum

Thx historic_bruno,tried extracting the zip in the install folder as Pureon mentioned and neither Atlas or the game start.

Is the path ...\0 A.D. alpha\binaries\data\mods\public? Make sure there is only one public folder, not including public.zip.

After you extracted it, does the file "%localappdata%\0 A.D. alpha\binaries\data\mods\public\gui\pregame\mainmenu.js" exist?

[Loki1950]

Yes it does but saving still does not work same error msgs.So tried running as administrator just right click on the Atlas short-cut and select "Run as Administrator" and that seems to bypass the permission issues just played though a test map that I generated.

Hmm did you install the game in a different account than you're running it? I can't imagine why you'd need to use administrator permissions if you installed and run the game from a single account.

[Loki1950]

Just installed it to my normal user account so it's in Program Files and all folders under it have restrictions dependent on your UAC level of enforcement.It's not a new issue Ubisoft's Lock On came out for XP and under Win 7 has to be run as Admin for it to work at all,and this goes for several older titles as well.
