Summary0001868: Can't run the game -- "Web cursor bitmap not found" error.
DescriptionI tried to run Freespace2 on the Eeepc 900, and that's the error I get. I used the automatic installer to download the minimum to let the game run. I also tried to delete the directory and reinstall everything again, but the problem remained the same. I really don't know if it can be a driver/library-related problem, but the message I get doesn't help.

Do you even have FreeSpace 2 installed? The installer DOES NOT install FS2 it only installs FS2_Open and the other content you select.

I tried to reinstall everything, an now it works fine. The first time I probably had a problem during install. However it could be useful to have an option in the installer like "fs2_open + minimum VPs". I'm not sure, but I don't think you need everything installed to let the game run.

You do not need the additional stuff that the installer installs, just the FSO executables. But you do need the original FS2 data already installed, as the FSO installer does not provide that. You can find the information about that at http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Installing_Freespace_2

That error normally means that the .vp files the game requires were not found when it tried to run. If you got it working it means it was able to find them and something was set up wrong in the first place, perhaps it was installed to the wrong folder, etc. I'm going to go ahead and close this.
