Hi!
Here's an example from a script:  

  (original)
  rcspath:=AddSlash(CfgMPEPath+'tdta')
  (my fix)
  rcspath:='D:\mystic\themes\default\scripts\rcstdta\'

The top line is what does not work for me but apparently 
works for everyone else.   Scripts that point to a directory outside of the 
default scripts directory don't load correctly because they can't find the 
needed files.

The second line is how I had to correct to make it work on my system.
This "fix" works on most scripts.  With the directory hard coded it works, but shouldn't the original work as well?

It's definitley something on my end.  I had this problem in Linux and it followed me to Windows when I migrated.

Thanks!
