How to make SC4 Mapper/TerraFormer work on Windows 7/Vista

I have been granted the permission to post this tutoral here from drunkapple, and all credit goes to him.

Windows Vista/7 32/64-BIT:

SC4Mapper/Terraformer

-Click the Start button.
-Go to Computer, navigate to your [My]Documents folder.
-Right click your Documents folder, click Properties.
-Click Location Tab.
-Click Move button. Use the edit box to type this address.
-C:\My Documents

Note: Do not just drag and drop the folder directly to C:\, you must follow all instructions in order for this program to work.

-Accept and close.

Note: For SC4Terraformer, you must have all the dependencies needed to help the program run. You must have DirectX 9c, as any higher version of DirectX will not work, also you need msvcp71.dll and gdiplus.dll. Drop these files in C:\Windows\system32. All dependencies have links in the included readme (If you still have it )

All your documents will still be in the same place as they were, we just changed the location of the folder.

All programs that use the Documents folder will operate as they should. After you finish this operation, start SC4Mapper or Terraformer and these programs will work just like if you still had XP.

If there are any problems, please report them to me via pm or just post below this tutorial.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.
