Now we did have one end user who I recall had the same problem you had - but that guy had simply downloaded the latest consolidation patch and tried to run that, rather than install the base game and then patch over it.
However, if your old game was installed to /program files/ and you ran the patch to the new path, then you would get a similar result since the base game files would now be missing from the new folder the patch used.
Re-run your original CD game installer, up to the point it shows where it thinks it is going to install to a folder.
If it shows "program files" in there, then it is an old install. You will need to paste in
C:\Shrapnel Games\The Camo Workshop\winSPWW2
and install to there, not to program files!
After that, run all the update patches in the appropriate order. These will use the new pathing configuration shown above.
The patch files (2 of) are available at the WW2 page.
(NB - dont type it in, copy and paste the path above into the installer's destination path)
Now, copy across any ongoing saved games you may want from the old folder in program files, then delete the folders under program files as no longer required.
If however you have a newer CD game then the pre-baked folder will be the new one.
- run the CD base game installer
- Run the Version 5 update patch
- run the version 9b update patch

Now this is interesting,glad it was brought up.
Bought my WW2 CD years ago,life goes on, had a crash or two years ago reinstalled where had to patch each upgrade in order and had no problems whatsoever.
Had another crash not but 2 years ago,after you all consolidated the patches,then the problems start.
The new patch will not work.. ei. no "5" key feature no filter options,no campaign with PBEM same as free download,and i've done several times,always it shows CD version but only up to 1.0v and no added features Uggh!
My question is what do mean 'copy and paste' and not type in?
How does one do that,i know how to copy and paste but where do you go to do that, and correctly.
Sorry not that comp saavy.
