You do need to patch EM4 as well. If it's not V1.3 it doesn't have the mod installer.

It may be that a registry key is missing.

I fixed mine this way:

1. Open your favorite plain-text editor.
2. Paste the code below into a new file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\sixteen tons entertainment\Emergency 4]
"InstallDir"="C:\\Program Files\\sixteen tons entertainment\\Emergency 4"

3. Save the file as 'Emergency4RegistryKeyFix.reg' (technically you can choose any file name you desire, so long as the extension is '.reg' )
4. Locate and double-click the registry file you just saved, and choose yes when asked to add the information to the registry.

It may be important to note, however, that the fix may be different for 64-bit computers.
The fix I gave should work on all 32-bit computers.

well mine is installed with wizard works. so would it go like this?
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\wizard works\911 first responders]
"InstallDir"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\wizard works\\ 911 first responders"

Didnt work. Picture shows what it said. I also changed the 911 first responders part to emergency 4 and it didnt work. gave me the same message.
I want this to work

Did you purchase from Atari?
I purchased mine from them, and mine was installed to the same path as yours.

Try it the exact way I posted first.

If it still doesn't work, uninstall Em4 and then reinstall to 'C:\Program Files\sixteen tons entertainment\Emergency 4', then run the key exactly as I posted it. This is what I ended up doing and it worked.

Edit:
My bad, the issue right now is that the key isn't being imported. You'll need to open up regedit (with admin privileges) and add the key there. I don't have Vista/W7, so I'm afraid I can't give you a step-by-step (though I can show you where to put the key if you'd like).

Edit 2:
I did some research (on registry keys in general for Vista/W7), and what I posted should add properly.
What plain-text editor did you use? Make sure word-wrap is turned off and that there are no unnecessary line breaks or spaces.

How exactly did you do it? I've had this issue for months and it's driving me insane.

[stevenew95]

okay, the registry fix file he posted up earlier in the forum. YOu copy all of it. Even the windows registry editor part. COPY ALL OF IT to notepad and save it as whatever you want with the file extension .reg then open it and say yes to what it says. It should be fixed.

Even if my file name is WizardWorks and 911 - First Responders?

[stevenew95]

I'm having the same problem. I don't think it has to do with the ModInstaller though.

This probably needs to have its own thread.

More than likely the Mod package is just damaged (bad download or packaged incorrectly). What mod is it?
