Well you didn't install it properly, that's all. Just read how to install it, we describe it all somewhere.

if everything is in 2k4/deathball/<subfolders> it will work.
It's just something wrong installed.
And delete deathballuser.ini and deathball.ini

dude, its not installed properly! all who failed at the installation have the problem. :/

just use winzip, abuse the predefined folders and extrace it to c:\ut2004 or wherever your 2k4 is
