    Try opening an elevated command prompt, go to a completely different folder (preferably drive) and type xcopy

    It should say something along the lines of:
    That is fine, since you aren't using the program correctly :) (but shows if it works).

    Don't just do it without changing the drive and path. If you run it straight away, you will already be in C:\Windows\System32 so it wouldn't help.

    I suspect a third party program has changed the default path settings, it can be changed back, but working out whether that is the problem first will help :)

    From the command line, after trying the above, type path
    This will show the path variable (if a program isn't found in the current location it looks for it in the path locations sequentially). The locations are separate by a semicolon ;. Even if third party stuff has added locations to the path variable, many actually put their location before C:\Windows\System32, which they really shouldn't.

    Like I said though, ideally the tool should be calling it directly as I mentioned in my last post, using
    Code:
    "%windir%\system32\xcopy.exe"
    and not just relying on the path variable.

    So you want me to go to a different directory in the cmd then type xcopy and see what it says? I went to the Ubisoft folder then typed xcopy and it said xcopy isn't recognized as an internal or external command.

    Yeah, that means your path variable is stuffed up somehow, and the reason why it's not working in the installer is because it's relying on the path variable and not calling it directly.

    Do the following:
    • open control panel
    • click on View by and select Small icons in the top right hand corner if not already in that view mode (much easier to find things).
    • click on System
    • on the left hand side of the system console, click Advanced System Settings
    • in the system variables box at the bottom, scroll down until you find Path in the left column (titled Variable) ,and click edit
    • there will be a whole heap of locations listed, stupidly Java does the wrong thing (at least in some versions) and lists itself first, normally system32 should be first
    • make sure at least the following is listed:
      Code:
      %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem
      there are probably other entries as well, these will either be at the beginning or end of that path, separated by semi-colons

    %SystemRoot% is used in lieu of %windir%, only because by default %SystemRoot% is set internally and not by a variable. It should always be correct unless something is acting nefariously. %SystemRoot% is essentially always C:\Windows but it is more correct in terms of Windows to use %SystemRoot%

    I fixed it by changing the path to System32 instead of the Nvidia PhysX folder. Idk why it was set to that. Thanks!

    I wanted to use the PATH variable instead calling it directly to avoid issues where the xcopy.exe is not in its right place for some reason. It seems this method is not perfect either.

    The config tool can't find the patch.dat and patch.fat files for the NPC textures. To be honest I can't find them either. :) Where is the download link?

    Yeah if you are gonna use the configuration tool, use the HQ npc.
    and if you are gonna just add them your self and the repack then use
    the HQ characters.
