Windows 10 users may encounter permission issues when trying to run the .bat file in Windows. A solution is to run the file from the Command Prompt. Follow these instructions to run the file from the Command Prompt (Note: Do NOT choose “Run as Administrator”):
- Press the Windows key and type “cmd”
- One of the search results will be “Command Prompt” — run it
- The Command Prompt window will open and will default to some directory – you will need to navigate to the folder that has the .bat file in it
- If the drive that your game is installed on is the C: drive:
- Use the “cd..” command to move up the directory tree until you’re simply at the C: drive
- Once there, type: cd c:\program files\steam\steamapps\common\resident evil 4\ (or whatever the path is to the folder with the .bat file)
- If the game is not installed on your C: drive:
- Use the “cd..” command to move up the directory tree until you’re simply at the C: drive
- Once there, type the letter of the drive that the game is installed on (for example: D:) — The command prompt should now show the new drive letter instead of C:\
- Type: cd d:\program files\steam\steamapps\common\resident evil 4\ (or whatever the path is to the folder with the .bat file)
- Once you are in the folder with the .bat file, type the name of the batch file to run it: (for example, “install-castle-release.bat“)
- The installer should now copy the files for you
- Start the game and ensure that HD Textures are selected in the Video options for the game
