installtion issues. Thread - Homeworld 2 Complex Simple mod for Homeworld 2

Hi, i'm having trouble installing the mod on hw2, i've followed the instructions to the letter but keep getting this dialog popping up, running windows 8.

The name '"C\program files (x86)\sierra\homeworld2\bin\release\homeworld2.exe"-modComplexSimple.big -hardwarecursor ' specified in the target box is not valid.make sure that the path and filename are correct

anyone help?

Notice the quotation marks in your target line. Try to add the parameters after the quotation mark

Do you have a folder named "shaders" in your data folder? If so, the mods you previously installed is conflicting with this mod. Make sure you have a clean data folder.
