have you tried installing on an XP system, and then simply copying the files over to Vista?

I used the XP VM to install the game, copied its files to Vista and installed the fix DC made for Vista.  It works great!

To whom it may concern...
I think this step by step instruction can help a lot of people with the same problem i have been experiencing.

I am getting the following error message when i am trying to load FO.
"Star trek armada 2 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working corretly. Windows will close the program and notify if a solution is available."

I have done the following to load FO on my vista machine.
1) Download FOSetup3PR in a XP computer with the Armada II cd.
2) Copied the file "Activision" in the program file in the XP machine and pasted in in the Vista Program files on my computer
3) Downloaded FleetOps3PRPatch1 in my Star Trek Armada II Fleet Operations directory.
4) Downloaded  fleetopsmultimedia1 in my Star Trek Armada II Fleet Operations directory.
5) Deleted the file "Fleetops.map" from the Star Trek Armada II Fleet Operations directory.

Doca Cola said that we have to extract Fleetops.mad and Fleetops.exe to the FO directory... but where do we get those files from?

What else can i do to NOT get armada II to stop working on vista?

Thanks Doca Cola.. the game works almost perfectly. The only problem with replacing the files is that it causes the game to crash when you use the klingon attack probes.. any advice?

Thanks for answering so quickly.

I have installed FOsetup3PR, which it supposed to have fixed the klingon attack probe,

I am not sure, but I think something to do with replacing the files as Doca Cola instructed when trying to install on Vista caused this.

Can there be a file or patch to correct this?

I'm still having trouble loading flops on vista. I copied all the files from activision from xp (but maybe if someone could send them to me again that would be nice...), ran the patch and multimedia, deleted the .map and extracted from the zip (and overwrit the .dl manager, and other things)

Still no success. Half the time it refuses to load, the rest of the time armada ii "stops working"
