Aaargggh, I still cannot workout how to instal the TDM modpack from the SEIVGold CD.

Can someone explain howe to do it in simple babytalk.

I have windows second edition, an ulcer and an itinerant wife

Ok. Go here (link) . Download the latest Version, instead of the gold-cd Version. Assuming (since you're trying to pull it off the CD) you do not have a Version of TDM in your SE4gold folder, you want to click on the "Download the TDM-ModPack Full Install" link at the bottom of the page.

You will be downloading an .exe file, not a zip file. Before you run the .exe file, use explorer to view your SE4gold folder. Write down EXACTLY the address in the address window (it should probably be something like "C:/blah/blah/Space Empires 4 Gold")

Run the .exe file (double click it). It will bring up an install wizard. Follow the recommended coarse of automatically finding your SE4gold folder. It will then prompt you, telling you what folder it is about to install TDM to. Make sure this is the address you wrote down. If it is, then let it continue with the install.

I hope I covered it all, it's been a while since I installed TDM. Wait a minute, no it hasn't! But it sure seems like it has been... Anyway, I hope that finally clears it all up for you.

PS. what's windows second edition? Is it win2000? winme? winxp? Second edition of what Version?

You're welcome, by the way.

I was veeeeeeeery tempted to reply with, "goo, gaaaaaa, ert, mamamamamamamamamama, pttttb, ..." etc. etc. etc. You know, baby talk. But I exercised restraint. It was difficult, but I prevailed. Now if only I could prevail in my PBW games....

dumbluck, many thanks. I shall follow your instructions and hopefully that will do the bizz..

I am glad you didn't repond with baby talk, I would have been forced to arrange for the chocolate factory you work in to be blown up..

Sorry, I meant to say I have an itinerant windows Version, and a second edition wife

apologies dumbluck, as a lawyer, I should have clarified that Last statement to make it absolutely crystal that whilst the 6 tons of C4 were being placed around the factory, you would be (1) tied to a chair in said factory, (2) covered with melted dark chocolate, (3) really disliking walnuts given where they have been inserted, (4) gagged with a curly wurly and (5) never wanting to look at a peanut coated bar of chocolate again (especially as you will be able to opine on its use as an abrasive on sensitive skin)

but, as you did not use baby talk, this is all subjective
