Whenever I click start game on the SWBF 1 main screen for PC, I always get this error message:
Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\Battlefront.exe'. Make sure you type the name correctly, and then try again.
What does this mean and how can I fix it?

What version of windows are you using?

Have you used file explorer and gone to that location to make sure that battlefront.exe is there?

Don't believe everything you read on the internet

Windows 7 and I'm not sure how to do that.

right click on windows start button and select Open Windows Explorer, select computer, your c drive, and into the various folders to check on battlefront.exe

Make sure it's in Program Files (x86) and not just Program Files, I've done that before too. If all else fails just reinstall it, and when the option comes up to choose a place for the files to go make sure you choose Program Files (x86).

OK, right click on the file (it must be battlefront.exe), then copy
then go to your desktop and right click and "paste shortcut"

Now double click on the shortcut you just made and see if it works.

Yeah I do and I just reinstalled it. It's working again, however, I think what broke it was when I tried to install GameMaster. I would like to get that working.

Honestly, i dont know how it can be hard to replace the swbf.exe
Replacing that file shouldnt affect anything else than itself
