Problem installing HW2 patch

Post by Captain tycho »

Halfway through the installation of the 1.1 patch, I get an error saying 'Old File not found, but a file with the same name has been found. Patching aborted since files do not match.' :?: Now, I have SW: Warlords installed (latest version), and wondering if this would cause the problem? And if I have to get rid of Warlords before installing the patch, does it come with an uninstaller?

Edit: Okay, found the uninstaller, uninstalled Warlords, and I still keep getting the same error.

I had this same issue with my copy. To fix this you need to put the correct file locations into your registry. Odds are you just ahve blank entires, when it should really be a files location. The bit of the registry you need to fix is located here

Hope that helps
