I did everything correctly, yet when I launch FE, it loads the original Fable TLC files. The symlinks are installed and link to the correct directory. I just think FE isn't using them. Of course the script was ran in and the symlinks installed in the same directory as in the config.xml
Here's the application settings I have in my config.xml
| config.xml |
<FableExplorer>
<ApplicationSettings>
<UseRegistry>FALSE</UseRegistry>
<RegistryPath>SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Microsoft Games\\Fable\\1.0</RegistryPath>
<InstallDirectory>C:\Program Files\ShadowNet</InstallDirectory>
<InternalSplash>FALSE</InternalSplash>
<SplashFileName>Shadow Net.jpg</SplashFileName>
</ApplicationSettings>
</FableExplorer>

Currently, I have something in the works which utilizes this script. I'll share.

This is certainly not the final draft, but linked here is a setup I created using this script. I'd appreciate some testing.
It only uses "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Fable - The Lost Chapters" and "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fable Anniversary"
If your directory is different, you can't use this setup. Correct me if I'm wrong but symlinks could potentially be installed to these directories to link to your actual directory. A .bat should be included that achieves this. The modified script has been converted to .exe to require admin privileges to run.
Are you shpongled?
