Ayakashibito Registry Issue with .bat (SOLVED)

[Godsdragon]

I am really looking forward to playing Ayakashibito but have been unable to get it to work

I am unable to run the .bat file successfuly. I have tried running as Administrator and have the local set to Japan as well as made sure I have the new Aya.bat file. I am currently using Win 7 64 bit. Here is some screenshots of the errors I am having.

 

The second image is what happens when I run the .bat file as Admin and the third pic is the error I get when trying to run the .exe. If you need any more info I will be happy to provide.

I have already done everything listed below to help solve the issue and am at a loss of what could be the issue.

 

-Change to Japan system locale
-Reboot your computer
-Try to run the game as an admin
-Stop the torrent after you have finished downloading (stop it from seeding)
-Check the permissions of the folder containing the game (properties -> make sure 'read only' is unchecked)
-Turn off your anti-virus
-Check if your antivirus had quarantined game files
-If the folder you downloaded includes a Readme from the TL team, READ IT. Known issues are often handled there.

Seems like your system hasn't got the path configured to reg.exe.

 

Download this and let me know:

Make sure you put the bat inside the zip into the folder.

Thanks a bunch for your reply Kendjin I somehow managed to fix the issue on my own just minuites before you posted.

I did some googling on the error message "reg not recognized as an internal or external command" and found that something might be screwed up with my PATH environment variable. I then googled  "how to fix environment variables path" and found a couple sites that told me to add some stuff to the variable. I made sure I saved its current info then added "C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem" that I found from http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/84770-45-deleted-path-environment-variables-mistake and "%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;" that I found from http://forum.ragezone.com/f365/tut-fix-path-variable-deleted-397939/. I also had to switch my local back to english when I added the paths as there was funny symbols with Japanese local on. I have no clue which of the lines actually fixed the issue but after I added them then went back to Japenese local everything worked like a charm. Well thats what I did lol, don't know how common this is or even what I really did in the end but it worked Also if anyone knows if anything I did could cause issues please let me know Thanks.

(computer talk and stuff. might be annoying and terminology-ridden.)

 

EDIT:

 

Damn you, awesome user. Why must you finish researching the solution yourself just after I finish typing my tl;dr post?

 

This is an interesting issue, because this will pretty much mess up the operation of every .bat file I've made so far (and probably some others'). I'm pretty wary of changing the standard execution path to c:\windows\etctoolongtotype though, since the user's OS might not be installed there. (if you actually have your operating system install / windows folder somewhere other than the C: drive, that's a slightly different barrel of fish too).

 

Path is a system variable which lets cmd.exe know what directories to look in when you type in commands; this is useful because you don't have to type the full filepath to the program you're running (as kendjin's file does). In this case, it's not including C:\Windows\System32, so it doesn't find the program reg.

 

While you could of course just continue to search and replace "reg" with its full path for each batch file you run, it's pretty inconvenient. If you feel up to it, try changing the environment variable PATH (capitalization varies). Doing this with the windows GUI is probably best: go to Control Panel>System>In the left sidebar, "Advanced system settings">Advanced tab>At the bottom there is a button called "Environment Variables", click>find Path in system variables>double click it>make very sure not to delete this line, cancel out if that happens. Hell, you can back it up in some text file too. > At the very end of the line, add "C:\Windows\System32\;" without quotes, with semicolon.

I was being lazy and couldn't be bothered to post the environment variables fix.

Good old user and once again nice work Zaka.

I think I could have put %system32%/reg.exe ?

[Godsdragon]

Well after all the work I went through to find a solution and the tech jargon I tryed to decifer Zakamutt your explnation is by far the most simple. The two lines I added seem to work even with all the extra stuff added but it does make sense to just add C:\Windows\System32\;" as you suggested. I don't know how you guys managed to figure it out and explain it so well but thanks I am starting to think that the fuwanovel tech team are computer guru's lol.

Re: Kendjin - Not sure if that's defined on all machines

[Godsdragon]

Thnaks again everyone for your hard work. Now I am off the enjoy Ayakashibito that the Ate the Moon Translations team worked hard to translate/edit and I am sure I will enjoy it thoroughly

[Zakamutt]

Alright, enjoy~

We might do a few changes to our command files in the future that help this issue, but I'm not sure if it's worth the risk given how obscure it is...

[Kendjin]

Ah. Glad I didnt do that then
