[FAQ] Ryzom won't run or just keeps coming up with "install/repair"

[daestny]

This issue is often caused by an incomplete unpack of your install.

There are two methods to recover from this issue:

1. The easiest but most time consuming fix would be to move any exe files from your ryzom\unpack directory to the main \ryzom directory, then delete the \unpack directory. After deleting the unpack directory run client_background_downloader_rd.exe from the main \ryzom directory and select the "repair" option to re download and install the missing files.

2. A more involved option would be to open the\ryzom\unpack directory and move:

*.exe ,*.dll -> ...\Ryzom
*.bnp -> ...\Ryzom\data
*.ttf -> ...\Ryzom\data\fonts

Then delete the \ryzom\unpack directory and run client_background_downloader_rd.exe from the main \ryzom directory, selecting the "repair" option to re download and install the missing files.
