Sup flokes,

When i run this code in IDE mode it will work. But when i run it just in windows after i compiled it it wont work at all.

Tested under Windows 7 Ult 64-bit and Win 7 Perm 64-bit SP1
Both executed as Administrator.

This is a fix for Far Cry 2 for Windows 7 Custom maps.

Dim steamexe As String

steamexe = GetStringValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Steam", "SteamExe")
Dim tps As String
tps = Replace(steamexe, "steam.exe", "steamapps\common\far cry 2\bin")
steamexe = tps

Dim tpss As String
tpss = Replace(steamexe, "/", "\")
steamexe = tpss

'MsgBox steamexe

MsgBox "Steam version of FarCry 2 has been fixed!", vbInformation, "Fixed!"

Kill steamexe & "\winhttp.dll"

Dim file1() As Byte
file1 = LoadResData(101, "CUSTOM")
Open steamexe & "\winhttp.dll" For Binary As #1
Put #1, , file1
Close #1
