billios65 -> update wont install (5/22/2011 9:47:22 PM)

hi all,
tried several times to install the latest update for TOAW III without joy.i have down-loaded all previous patches without problem.i get as far as saving the down-loaded file to desk top but when i open it a page flashes quickly on the screen then dissappears ,this is then repeated in a never ending loop to which i can only stop by rebooting system. strangely the same thing happened when i tried to down-load PKOstfront!

any help would be greatly appreciated. bill

Be sure you have TOAW III installed first.

What OS are you running?



ralphtricky -> RE: update wont install (5/26/2011 9:43:51 PM)

Can you please also email support@matrixgames.com in case they've seen this issue before?

I don't recall but, perhaps you have the game installed in a folder that isn't the default. Or maybe you could save the file to something other than your desktop and then right click and run as admin. Perhaps if you stand on your head while drinking a glass of water and whistle The Bonnie Blue Flag. Computers will do that to ya. [sm=00000280.gif]

I find it's best to sacrifice a small, live animal of some kind.

hi people,
my system uses windows vista 32.i tried with firefox and IE9 with same result.
i am not very computer savvy but as far as i recall i have the game in the default location.



Panama -> RE: update wont install (5/27/2011 12:56:17 PM)

I know I've had this problem meself at least once and I'm trying to rack my old brain to remember what I did.

Some information from you.

The name of the files or patches you have downloaded and installed including the one that didn't work.

Your operating system.

Did you get the latest drivers for all your devices such as video, sound and motherboard?

Let me clarify: The update has to be applied to that installation. The update is not a stand-alone program.



Leslie -> RE: update wont install (6/7/2011 12:33:56 AM)

Downloaded the latest, latest patch. (the 340302) But I just plumb forgot how to install anything. [&:] Can't remember how I installed the previous updates.

Stupid question, I know.



Oberst_Klink -> RE: update wont install (6/7/2011 5:39:14 PM)

Re-install the original version and apply the latest patch on top of it. That should do the trick. Most lads play with the latest 3.4.202 anyway; but in case you have a PBEM running with an older version I'd suggest to install all updates, step by step and backup the TOAW 3.EXE, too.

kLiNk, Oberst



Leslie -> RE: update wont install (6/9/2011 10:06:01 AM)

Re-installed, OK.

Patch downloaded, OK

It's a zip file and I extract it to...?

Which file do I extract it to?

Forgive the amnesia. [:(]



Oberst_Klink -> RE: update wont install (6/9/2011 1:15:21 PM)

Just unzip it to a temp directory and then execute the .EXE.

kLiNk, Oberst



Leslie -> RE: update wont install (6/11/2011 1:21:19 PM)

I think that did it. Thanks. [&o]
