I tried without step 5 at all my friend and it didn't work then either.
Missing file is missing file and refused to activate. When I did as the
forums suggested and deleted the suspect file and try again suddenly there
was a whole pile o files missing all hiding in the 110/0rg folder which I
then tried moving manually and still to no avail. (deciphering german is no
fun either when ya don't speak it and are guessing at intent LOL)
