Need help on SEIV GOLD

[jim]

I really appreciate all the efforts to break down the patches into floppy sizes.

How do I re-merge them? I mean, if they were on a CD in one piece, I would just double click on the exe file and it would do the rest, "installshield" and all. How does it work with it broken into pieces? I've not had to do that before.

Hey, I've got gray hair! My PC-savvy son who I've tasked to do this stuff before is in Iraq and so not available.

As you can see from my date, I've been w/SEIV since just about the very beginning, as I lurked for some while before I registered into the Board. The web game stuff is another area I have avoided, due to my limitations.

Get WinRar. Install it. Then, you can just open up any of the partial archive files, and it will reconstruct the archive and let you extract it as normal. Assuming you have all parts in the same folder, of course.

I looked at that site. I guess you mean that I should download WinRAR 3.30 onto a floppy then load it on the game pc. Then, assuming I have bought and installed SEIV Gold, then eventually downloaded onto 9 separate floppies, then copied them all into some one folder on that game pc, that I would double click on the first SEIV Patch (of 2) file using WinRAR? Then what? Does it do something?

If it managed to patch SEIV, would I then double-click on just the first of the 7 TDM files? Would it do the rest?

It opens the archive files, and treats them like a single archive file. You can then extract the files as if it were a normal single file archive.

Yes, you only need to click on one of the TDM multi-part archive files. All must be present, but only one needs to be accessed.
