How the expansions can find the dread lords exe and what I should do if it can't

from GalCiv2 Forums

So I installed the twilight expansion, love the features in it, but when I start it up, says it can't find location of dread lords.  Re-installing the whole thing seems to have fixed whatever is wrong but it left me wondering

Is there some configuration file that keeps track of directories for GC2 and it's expansions?  I was thinking of moving the game to another partition on my hard drive.  Would I have to reinstall everything again?  takes a long wait to get through that.  Thanks in advance!

The paths are stored in the registry, so if you copied the install from another machine, had it installed on the other half of a dual boot, etc., those entries won't be present.

If you want to move it around on your machine, changing the paths accordingly in the registry when you move the files should work fine.

awesome, I think I know where the registry keys are located, I"ll give it a shot!
