Info: Windows Vista and Windows Seven Installation

[RVPERTVS]

Ok, I’m downloading vCD5.0. I felt nostalgic when I saw it labeled No. 5.

I remember being in front of my computer the moment winSPMBT went out back in 05, the interface used to be brownish back then. I stumbled upon DOSspmbt by complete accident just a month before joining, I had an old office pc that could run it like a charm and started playing just a week before winspmbt´s launch, though launch day was yet undisclosed.

My old pc didn´t have graphic accelerator so I had to stick with the dos version for a while, I joined the yahoo group just a couple of days before Don and Andy said good bye from there and moved to these boards

Some time has passed, the game´s been outstandingly improved and I’m not the same guy either ; So I guess Im watching the tree grow, feeling part of a great and very refined game.
Ok gentlemen, let´s carry on.

P.S. I suppose our V1 CDs became collectibles by now.

NO !

The whole point of doing what we did was to ensure anyone who had bought the early version of the game could upgrade to current levels in a couple of easy steps......


1/Install the V1 CD as described by Andy four posts back

When the path is shown in the old CD's game installer, you simply delete the bit in bold: C:\Program Files\Shrapnel Games\The Camo Workshop\WinSPWW2

so what you are left with is this:

C:\Shrapnel Games\The Camo Workshop\WinSPWW2

2/ THEN install the consolidation patch in the same place

3/ THEN install the patch we just released in the same place

Simple..... and when those steps are completed you have the most up-to-date version of the game.
