hi there folks,

i just installed dink on my pc the OS is vista...

the problem im having is i cant start playing dink or d-mods over the DFArc v.3.2.1
but when i start over the freedink.exe the maingame can be played
without problems (until now...)
...back to DFArc v.3.2.1!!
of course i want to play other mods but without DFArc...

i get the following error message when i try to start via DFArc v.3.2.1:
" Invalid -refdir option: C:/Program Files/Dink Smallwood/dink/graphics and/or C:/Program Files/Dink Smallwood/dink/tiles are not accesible "

the prob is i installed the game under a complet different directory namly:

"C:/Games/FreeDink

so why the prog is serching for the files in another path???

i hope u can help me... i relly enjoy this game so far

Bah, Vista. Try installing as administrator and see if that works for you.

Any fool can use a computer. Many do. 
Try passing --refdir with a correct path to where you've installed Dink. This should be the directory that contains the /dink directory. Maybe there's also an option in DFArc to change this.

Yes, go edit->options in dfarc and override the installation directory
