Mattn:
please try to extract the base/*zip files

in a way that you have:
base/maps
base/music
base/textures
base/sounds
[....]

and retry please

please also have a look at the ufoconsole.log which should be in your home dir (application data) in ufoai/.ufoai/base

thanks

I tried some of the stuff you suggested, but no dice.  Here's the snippet of the log that seemed most useful:

...could not set to language:
...could not set to system language

Seems like OpenGL isn't working very well.  I'm running on a thinkpad T43P, so the FireGL v3100 card in it should be able to do OpenGL just fine.  Could it be that the Vista drivers don't have OpenGL support just yet?

chungng:
I went to ATI and installed the Radeon Mobility X300 drivers (they didn't have any FireGL drivers for some reason, so I used the enthusiast equivalent), and the game works now.

brpemerson:
WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But now, I'm not sure what make the game work, because I extract the *.zip files and update the ATI drivers...
But now, works perfectly...

Thanks a lot,
best regards...

chungng:
I tried unzipping the files before, but doing that alone did not work.  Not sure if only replacing the driver will fix things.  If not, then there could be a bug in the installer.  Ah well, it's still a dev build, so I'm not overly concerned as long as I can get it to work!
