Installing SE IV on New Machine. What a Nightmare
So I install SE IV Gold onto my new machine. Download the latest seiv patch and guess what.... the damn thing won't install because it cannot find SE IV deluxe. Motherf***er.

Re: Installing SE IV on New Machine. What a Night
You need to get the gold to deluxe patch. Patches after that one do not include the gold to deluxe update because it makes for a huge download and people who don't need it shouldn't be forced to download that much. It's over 70 megabytes and is located here, among other places. |

Re: Installing SE IV on New Machine. What a Night
Ya I finally figured it all out. What a head ace. Now I am finding that the latest planet image pack is corrupted. Need to figure out how to get those.

Re: Installing SE IV on New Machine. What a Night
I got it from se.net I will redownload it and see if that corrects the problem. Most likely just a bad download.

Nope, keeps telling me that I do not have permission to do what it is I am doing. I took a screen cap.

Re: Installing SE IV on New Machine. What a Nightmare
Last time I did that I was amazed at seeing the game run in its original vanilla mode. EIGHT races?!? And such SMALL maps!
The next headache was figuring what all the mods were that I had loaded to get SEIV the way I wanted it. I finally gave up. Rebooted the old computer, zipped everything, and copied it over.
