Hi, I'm new to this website and quite new to modding the wii, and modding in general. I am trying to add some dlc for Guitar Hero 5 and I am using a tutorial on using wad2bin. I keep getting error messages:
utilsWriteDataToFile: Failed to open ".\wad2bin_wad_data\cert.bin" in write mode! (2).
wadUnpackInstallablePackage: Failed to save certificate chain from "C:/Users/asus/Downloads/wii stuff/Guitar Hero - Smash Hits (USA) (DLC) (GH 5).wad"!
Process failed!
utilsRemoveDirectoryRecursively: Error opening directory ".\wad2bin_wad_data"! (2).

I might have missed something but I am not sure. Thanks to anyone that can help.

Edit: turns out I was using usa wads to match my usa games, but it needs to be european to match the wii
Edit edit: still gives the same errors

"error opening directory"
does the directory exist?
are you running with root/admin??
for some reason the directory it's on about doesn't
I'll try to run it as administrator?
edit: can't run it as administrator, option doesn't show up

I have got it working. I simply used a different download of wad2bin.

if the directory it's on about doesn't exist, create it.
