ok, I have reinstalled cod4 like 8 times and tried to get the mod tools working under windows 7 and am starting to pull out my hair, here is what I have tried:

done all updates 1-7 for cod4

installed the mod tools from this sites download section

installed the updated compilebsp.bat file

made sure all files and folders are not "read only" in the activision folder

made sure all programs (cod4, radiant, compiling tool) are run as administrator

after this I have even tried to update to radient 1.1

basically it gets all wonky at compile stage,,,,,,,,, when i update the fast file literally get suggestions of the previous map example if i am working on mp_cc some of the suggested things to add are for the previous mp_bb. I am doing everything the same as when it did work on my moms laptop that is also windows seven.

Can anyone please tell me what I am missing? Do any of you have a method of making it work on windows 7? Is there any download for the mod tools that is already configured with the compilebsp.bat file and the 1.1 radiant files that is a known good working source? I was planning on merging them all once I got setup correctly to help others but can not get to that stage yet.

I will be continuing to pull my hair out and reinstall and retry everything I can think of while I await your replies, thanks for your time.

Nevermind I did not extract the mod files properly, however I got it to work with 1.0 mod tools great so I decided to add the 1.1 update and now I get this error when I try and compile my map:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:





When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

and fixed it! had to turn on compatability for win xp sp 2 for the compile tool and it works now woohoo!
