Computer problem on getting missile boy admin panel to work.

On my computer that I use for BattleField2 Sandbox I have been trying to download the admin panel made by missile boy and his friends. Though it never seems to work.

I extracted the file download that is the updated admin panel (which is supposed to unlock alot of features such as making smoke grenades come out of jets machine guns.) Though when I drag it to the C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\sandbox\Menu_server/HUD/HUDsetup zip file it will not let me, it says "Access is denied."

So I try to extract the Menu_server files and i selected the destination it reccommended "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\sandbox\Menu_server"

then I get this message:

[Window Title]
Compressed (zipped) Folders Error

[Content]
Compressed (zipped) Folders was unable to create the specified directory. Ensure that
the directory does not already exist, and that the path entered is valid.

Some things that might be affecting me from geting this to work are:

My computer is an Acer
It runs Windows Vista.

Any ideas on how to help? I wish to have the admin panel on my computer, but I am unable to. All help will be appreciated.

(note I had to uninstall BF2 Sandbox 2 times because I tried to fix this.)

Uhm, well i didn't really extract mine, i just downloaded the file and replaced the Menu_server file or hud whatever is with that file and it worked. I wouldn't try it if i were u because i did a couple of other things, but maybe someone with more tech knoldege than me will help?

The problem in Vista is that you need admin access to write to the Program Files folder, even on an admin account.

Extract menu_server to the desktop, then update the file in it with the missleboy admin scoreboard file. then rezip it into the sandbox folder.

make sure it's /Menu_server.zip/6 folders here
and not /Menu_server.zip/Menu_server/6 folders here

add me to ur Xfire and ill send u a fully modded one

oh im pepsimax2007

u extracted the file? jeez u could told me that when we were chatting on xfire when it happened. files dont like to work to great with xtractions(well atleast most files) i always copy and paste.

Maybe you could just send me a PM of steps to make it work? I dont really understand your method.
