Files from Heroes 3 are missing. Please reinstall Heroes 3.

I tried using ForceBindIP to create a shortcut, but at first, the shortcut wouldn't launch. I added compatibility mode for Windows 98, and after that, it seemed to launch through the program, but then it started giving the same error: "Files from Heroes 3 are missing. Please reinstall Heroes 3." It seems like the game launches through the program, but during startup, it loses the compatibility properties, specifically for the shortcut.

Basically, the instructions for this program said to create and edit a shortcut in the game folder, but they didn't mention that it absolutely had to be done in the game folder. It turns out that it has to be done there. So, I created and edited it there, and it launched. I then moved this shortcut to the desktop, and it works there too. The first time, I created a shortcut in the folder, moved it to the desktop, and edited it there, but it didn't work. It seems like the program only records the file path when it's in the game folder. If you edit it on the desktop, for example, part of the file path isn't recorded, or it's recorded as a launch through the desktop – I don't really know.
