Hello,

This message is directed to the blessed Scott T. Jones, creator of the
inimitable XcomUtil, who threatened my life of productivity and daily
sunshine in college by making the most splendid Microprose game fresh
again, and to whom I now come to importune for assistance in my
struggle to install his ingenious utility with the Collector's Edition
of the forementioned splendid game.

This is the error message:

XCOMWIN 1.0 version of game detected
Read failure on GEOSCAPE.EXE
Error executing XCOMUTIL, XCUSETUP aborted

I am using version 9.42 of the utility with the CE version of the
game. My understanding is that xcomutil tries to separate the combined
exe back into geoscape.exe and tactial.exe, which it indeed
accomplished. The newly created geoscape.exe just seems to be
incorrect.

An identical problem was reported some months ago for XcomUtil 9.31 in
the following thread:

http://www.xcomufo.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2225

The problem for that user was solved when someone uploaded their
geoscape.exe and tactical.exe that were created by their programs.
Later that week you released a new version that putatively solved the
problem, but alas, hapless as I am, it has arisen again on my computer
(which is a pentII, 450mHz, 96 or so RAM, very serviceable machine). I
thus beseech you humbly to consider my woes.

Thank you in advance,

Johnny Bugreport
