EE2, cant install patch!

[danielches]

Hi!


I am trying to install the patch for ee2,
but get the following error:

"Empire Earth 2 is not installed. For the patch to continue you must have the full game installed. If ypu are sure that you have the game installed, run it, then re-run the patch."

I have tried running ee2, then the patch, but still get this error,
and yes i have the full version, notbthe demo or anything!

I am thinking it may be because i installed it in a custom directory, and it may be looking for it in another place!

Could any of you that have installed the patch tell me where you hae ee2 installed (ie c:/ee2).

Thanks,

Remember you need to download the correct language. If you have USA version of the game, download the USA patch. If you have UK English, download English. If you have French, download French, etc.

i am not sure what version it is,
is there a way to find out?

-i tried uk and us versions,
and the text etc in the gameis in english!
Do the non english versions have english menu's etc?

try uninstalling and reinstalling (make sure you have the proper key )

I have the same problem to Danielches'. It's as if the EE2 and EE2X were unistalled, and the patch keeps on floating in some part of the hard disk, allowing neither re-install the program, nor remove the patch. Help please I don't want to format my hd!!

Well usually EE2 won't let me install a patch with the wrong version. In myconfig.cfg there is a line of code which tells you the version. Michael is your problem that the patch is still installed even though EE2 is uninstalled?

Yes that was the problem, i wanted to remove the whole game (EE2 + AOS), and stupidly i first removed EE2 and after I wasn't able to remove the expansion. Finally I had to format the computer but for the next time I'll remove first the expansion with the patch, and then the original EE2. What a loss!! Thank you friend!
