Hi and welcome to the forums

are you sure the filename is sta2.gtg?
have you installed Fleet Operations into a blank folder?
what OS do you use?

to which folder have you installed fleet operations to?
pls check if there is an armada2.tgt in your fleet operations root directory

There isn't, the only file present is armada2.tgt.manifest

If this is supposed to be the right file why do I get that error message?

If it isn't the right file, then what does this one do and why don't I have the right one in here?

hm, ok. just deinstall and reinstall fleet operations again.
pls attach the setup log to the forum. that can be done by right clicking on the setup log (after file copy is complete) and select 'copy to clipboard'. paste it into notepad or whatever and then attach it here.
try again to start it then.
no worries, this is a solvable problem that just takes some time

[EDIT]Hmm, could be caused cause you installed it on d: maybe there is some bug in the installer[/EDIT]
