and then when i hit a key it says "press any key...."

I'm very keen to help you, and resolve the problem. the 'cannot write' is in context to a screenful of dos console data, the last pbo it was working on would be mentioned prior to 'cannot write'.

just post a screen image here

Also, if you're on Win7 (or vista), it's buggy as hell with it's file system. Practically *everything* is 'read only'. Windows tech support say they 'ignore the read only bit'. In truth, they don't for any disk other than c:\

If that's your problem, you need to fully disable UAC until windoze get's it's act together.

UAC! I would never have thought of that! - definitely disable that if it's switched on...

According to your screenshot, Arma2P was working on "Takistan/Data/Layers" when it hit a problem... that's a big folder - 18,625 files... not the biggest by any means though...

Now that Mikero's mentioned it, I'd guess at something like UAC too... maybe try that and run Arma2P again...?

Disabled UAC, Arma2P runs now for 4 hours, almost done
(fingers crossed)

It works!!!! I now have my WRP_PROJECTS folder and
it ends with "press any key...".
THANKS guys

[Bushlurker]

Congratulations!!!

All thanks to Mikero, of course - and Arma2P!

Can you imagine what it was like before? - doing that job manually?...

Hi everyone,

first let me thank you for this great Tutorial Bushlurker!

Now I have worked me through this Tutorial, step for step.

Everything works fine until yet.

I have a strange Error occuring during the Binarizing.
It starts as normal as you said, and then there comes an error that it cant write the pbo into my choosed direction.
When I hit Try Again it comes again and again.

If I start the Binpbo with administrator it cant find my Project folder or the P: drive.

Have i made something wrong?

greetings Donny

[Bushlurker]

Hi!

Do you have User Account Control (UAC) enabled in Windows? - that doesn't like you writing to "protected" folders - like C:\Program Files, etc

Try disabling that if it's active - reboot, then try binarizing again... it shouldn't be necessary to run it as "administrator" or anything...

Well

Thank you for the fast answer, I have really enabled it, but this wasnt the main Problem.

The error came agian.

Then I just took some experimentals with folders etc..

It was my stupidness,
I forgot to precreate the Folders "@khargharvalley\Addons\" so it only needs to binarize it into it.

Well well
