WinSPMBT version 7.0 Upgrade patch

[FASTBOAT TOUGH]

Andy/Don,
My hint of the "right path" in my post was correct. The path that came up was noted in #5 of my post as well. The fix after Andy's answer pointed me to Mobhack from last years patch addressing Win 7 and Vista download file issues. The following has to be inserted for XP (And prior?) before the FINAL STEP in the download process as follows for both WinSPMBT and WinSPWW2...
C:\Program Files\... downloads to both games done started OOB checks for WinSPMBT, new equipment is there. Don't know about game play but if the first two steps are met the rest should be fine as well.

I gotta get the ... going, work doesn't like us being late.

Regards,
Pat

Pat, although there is no need to install the game outside program files if you have XP ALL further patches and updates will be set up to NOT install there so we STRONGLY RECOMMEND everyone set up their games OUTSIDE PROGRAM FILES.

It's simple. Click on the main game folder and MOVE it out of program files then redo your shortcuts. If you have BOTH games installed under Shrapnel Games it's even easier.... just click on the Shrapnel Games folder and move it to your C: drive ( or D; or just ANYWHERE that isn't under program files. )

If you are happy where it is that's OK too ----- just remember next time the installer doesn't read minds

There is NO REASON to re-install the game unless you use all the little shortcuts that will appear in Start\Programs when you. I don't so moving is as simple as moving then setting up a new desktop shortcut but everyones got their own way of doing things but the fact is the install path on these last patches is the install path that will be used by all further patches. We had thought that since that was the way the consolidation patch was set up and that was relatively painless for most folks that this patch would be the same.
