UDE will not run!

[Xaejiin]

After I install UDE, when I try to run it I get this error: "Your UT2004 Installation is invalid or unknown. Please (re-)install UT2004."

I've already tried reinstalling. I have a legit copy; it's the Editor's Choice DVD. My CD Key is valid and I can play the game online without problem.

I've searched online for info on this error and found absolutely nothing. I don't expect to get far posting on a forum for an old game, but if anyone can help please do...

I have the same problem!!! Hey! Anybody please help! I want to develop very much! Please..! =((((

I have "Unreal Anthology".. I tried UDE on Windows Vista and on Windows XP, but it's the same problem on both computers!
I suppose that this problem because of "Unreal ANTHOLOGY"?????

Where are you installing to? If you install to C:\UT2004 (the default install path) it should work.

I am installing to C:\Unreal Anthology\UT2004. It's the default path for Unreal Anthology

Unreal Anthology is different. You will have to manually move the UT2004 folder to the root of the drive.

Ok, I have to try it...

No... It didn't help me... =\ But when I'm installing ude3005.ut4mod I have to write down C:\UT2004\System\setup.exe install UDE3005.UT4MOD. Because double-click on ude3005.ut4mod don't install it, it can't find file association

Hey! With such problem I'll have to use non-license UT2004 (not Anthology) !!!!!! =)))

After moving UT2004 to C:\ there is a registry tool that someone made (I'll look for it) that fixes the setup.exe problem to make ut4mod files work again. Ask around for it, someone might know where to download it.

Oooohhh.... I complitely don't know where I can ask for it.. Only here
I think it's fault of developers who made UDE.. =\ They should fix it..hm..

The regestry tool is very useful when it comes to moveing the directory around however if you are trying to run UDE as a non admin then you will also need to alter the regestry for a number of keys.

As Always back up your regestry before attempting this (if you dont and it breaks do not blame me) then ammend the permissions to allow full control for users of the localhost to the following keys

HKLM\Software\UnrealTechnology\InstalledApps\UT200 4

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall\UT2004

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\Joystick\Winmm



enjoy

I have recently re-bought the game through Steam so that I can use Steam chat in game. So now the game is installed at:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Unreal Tournament 2004

Of course now I have run into this UDE problem, I wonder if anyone has a work around so that I can keep the game in its current location and use the UDE?

Cheers

Update Wotgreal to 3006 version...

Yea, UDE is a free version of WoTGreal. Which means that if you use WoTGreal without purchasing it, you'll be using a trial, which is not very nice.
Personally, I don't think I have ever managed to set up UDE on Windows 7... But if it is indeed a problem with the path, you can try and create a junction: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windo...windows-vista/
