Clear out your temp folder and try again. On Vista I think it's something like C:\Users\yourusername\Local Settings\Temp.

Path to tdmlauncher is C:\Program Files\DOOM 3\darkmod\thedarkmod_v1.0_beta\darkmod\tdmlauncher.exe

Darkmod directory is C:\Program Files\DOOM 3\darkmod\thedarkmod_v1.0_beta\darkmod\

Trying default value for engine executable is C:\Program Files\DOOM 3\darkmod\thedarkmod_v1.0_beta\DOOM3.exe

Could not find engine executable at default locations, will be searching command line arguments for a path to doom3 executable.

Could not find 'currentfm.txt' file in C:/Program Files/DOOM 3/darkmod/thedarkmod_v1.0_beta/darkmod/currentfm.txt

Current FM is:

Full argument string is: +set fs_game_base darkmod

Starting process C:\Program Files\DOOM 3\darkmod\thedarkmod_v1.0_beta\DOOM3.exe +set fs_game_base darkmod

Error when spawning D3 process: No such file or directory

Closing logfile.

 

Nothing for me seems to work could not print screen and I could not find file but I did find site where I could download thanks to another thread but it still does not work the above is all I get any help please

That would be because:

 

Starting process C:\Program Files\DOOM 3\darkmod\thedarkmod_v1.0_beta\ DOOM3.exe +set fs_game_base darkmod

 

Doom3.exe is NOT under "C:\Program Files\DOOM 3\darkmod\thedarkmod_v1.0_beta\"

 

Doom3.exe should be under "C:\Program Files\DOOM 3\"

So it's no surprise that the program is failing to find the executable.

 

Error when spawning D3 process: No such file or directory

 

EDIT: Also this is pretty telling of your problem:

 

Trying default value for engine executable is C:\Program Files\DOOM 3\darkmod\thedarkmod_v1.0_beta\ DOOM3.exe

Could not find engine executable at default locations, will be searching command line arguments for a path to doom3 executable.

 

EDIT 2: Just reading the download instructions:

 

Extract the tdm_update.exe from the downloaded ZIP and copy it into your C:\Games\Doom3\darkmod directory.

 

You need to delete everything in C:\Program Files\DOOM 3\darkmod\ first. Then copy tdm_update.exe into C:\Program Files\DOOM 3\darkmod\ and run it there with Admin privileges.

Well, at least your capslock seems to be working

Don't delete everything under darkmod, that's not necessary. There's an easier way to fix this:

 

Path to tdmlauncher is C:\Program Files\DOOM 3\darkmod\thedarkmod_v1.0_beta\darkmod\tdmlauncher.exe

That's your problem right there.

 

Just move everything in C:\Program Files\DOOM 3\darkmod\thedarkmod_v1.0_beta\darkmod\ into C:\Program Files\DOOM 3\darkmod\ and then it should work. (You can delete the now-empty folder thedarkmod_v1.0_beta if you like.)

Good point, yeah that's better than downloading 1.4 gigs all over again =P
