SCX and SCU problem.

All right, I shall post here to stop myself from tearing out what little hair I've got left, and then possibly burning Microsoft HQ to the foundations.

Having finally run down my SC keycode, and decided DW's limited selection of Cold War platforms bored me, I decided to install SC again. On it went, and after a bit of jiggery-pokery I managed to patch to 1.08 and get it going. So far so good. Installed SCX and that seemed to go OK - except that the Akula was still the stock model, and I seem to remember SCX changing that. Moreover, the SCU wouldn't function and kept giving me the same error, over and over again: "Unable to copy periscope.dll from \Interfaces\AkulaII. Does it exist?" Well yes, as it happens, it does - I can see it, plain as day, in the bloody directory!

Any hints on this one, folks?
