Hello everyone. I just got a new pc and got the game up and running but I'm having a problem using the TW caddie program. I keep getting this message while trying to install a course or library.

Access to the path c program downloads.com\twcaddie 08 vista 64\temporary install files\66_buildings 01 byji (thats a library file used for an example) is denied, then, when I click ok this screen pops up, unhandled exception has occured in your application, if you click continue, the application will ignore and attempt to continue, if you click quit the app will close immediately, under the is, value cannot be null parameter name: path.


I have no idea whats going on and would really appreciate help with this. This pc has windows 8.1.

T.I.A Brad.

Also, if I click continue, it attempts to install the file but it just hangs there. Thanks again. Brad.

Hey Gunpower, this worked, your awesome and thank you sooo much. I had no idea what was going on or what to do next. I believe I posted something in here a few years ago and you were there then with the right answer, great stuff. Thank you again, I appreciate it. Take care. Brad.

Good news you got it working Brad.
After new installation of TW08, don t forget to do the Confidence folder fix on your player:

When you played some courses you will see the loading times between holes are increasing, the game will become slower and slower.
Do next steps to solve the problem:

1) On desktop you will see the folder My Documents. Open this folder.
( when you are using Vista or Win7 or win8: on desktop look for folder: User (or username).....inside you will find: Documents )
2) Inside look for Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2008. Open this folder and then open the folder Career
3) Inside Career open the folder Players. Inside this folder, look for your playersname folder and open it.
4) Open the folder Confidence.
5) Inside you will find these files: Hole Type.tcn and Shot Type.tcn. delete both files.
6) Important step here! Restart the TW08 game and play 1 hole on any stock course, then close TW08 game.
7) Go back to same Confidence folder and you will see both files are regenerated: but now they are very small in size. Now right click the Hole Type.tcn file and choose Properties. Check the box next to Read Only and click OK. Now do the same thing for the Shot Type.tcn file.
