Hello, Everything goes fine(I have the Gog version as well as the CDs but using the gog version for this) up until I run the Co8 modpack install the first time and get to the part where you can either 'play' the default/unmodded Temple of Elemental Evil or you can 'activate' the new Co8 6.1.0_NC... module. When I select the latter I just get the wheel spinning and eventually have to start the task manager to shut down the non-responsive program which of course leads to being unable to run ANY for of ToEE afterwards because of either the 'Must be run from the root folder' error or the 'missing Temple.dll file' thing. I am using Windows 7 64 bit and nothing is pirated/illegal/cracked. Any ideas?
When you say "eventually", what exactly do you mean? Module activation really does take a long time - it's basically unzipping 440MB. It takes about 10 minutes on my computer. If you pester the program, it will appear inactive and the OS may ask if you want to shut it down. If you aborted it in the middle, try running TFE-X-repair.exe.
