Help transferring to new comp

[veneficus]

Hello everyone, it's been a while.

Have some vacation time during these holidays and miss playing WinSPWWII.

I bought the CD version ages and ages ago, the shrapnel store doesn't even recognize my email anymore.

I was able to copy the entire file to a usb from the old computer to the new one.

But I have no install option. If I try to run the game, it runs, but I cannot install the latest patch.

Can anyone offer a suggestion on how I can actually install the old CD game or install the free version and copy the CD unlock file over it so I can patch it?
