I've tried getting StarForge on my computer:cry: but for some reason it keeps asking for me to find files because it can't. When I find the files and say Open, it brings up the "cannot find .lst, .dll" etc. Can anyone help?:cry::(

Ever considered that the reason it's not working is because you actually need those DLL's?

Here are Visual Basic Runtimes that you might need

And this is for mscomctl.ocx

It still doesn't work, I downloaded both of those things and I tried reinstalling StarForge, but it still asks for the .lst , dll. and others. Can anyone please help I'm really confused. I tried finding the install in the folder (I use WinRAR) and there isn't one there, and when I click the SETUP.EXE and it goes on with the setup but it stops after the setup. There isn't a file that says StarForge in the folder, but when I go to the StarCraft in the All Programs and click the StarForge there, it does the "StarForge cnnot find the necessary files. You will be asked to find any ".lst, .dll, etc" files." thing. I can't get it to work...And I need it cause I need to make a map that needs the right triggers. Please, someone help

.lst , dll.

You know, it really helps when you tell me what dll and lst, and what error messages you're getting.

I trust that by "reinstalling" you mean to uninstall the previous SF installation you had, reboot hte PC and try again from scratch no? If not, that's probably because of the different versions conflicting with one another. And the next time you try it just extract all the files within that *.rar file to some new and then try to install from there. I also use WinRAR and from my personal experience with older installations packed up it's always best to have that extra work as I did. When it finishes the setup it isn't that hard to delete the folder you just created for the extraction of setup process.

And also knowing more details about your error message(s) would be alot more helpful to us (and you) too. ;)

*Duh* Just follow the path the error message indicates and place it there. ;p

See I tried uninstalling StarForge completely, but it keeps saying, "We could not remove some components of the program because they do not exist." Help?

And this is why you should download SCMDraft 2. Download 1 file, extract them, then you're done.
