00 scrub Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 I just downloaded the patch from Stratagey first's website. When I try to install it it says "C:...systemMessageSystem.dll is not a valid previous version and could not be upgraded." I have done a full uninstall and reinstall twice and i get the same message each time. What is wrong? Quote
+Dagger Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 try this...I had to do this.uninstall..do the custom and on ebery screen select the "select all" option.then go in and make sure all the folders are gone. I even took time to scan disc and defrag. reinstalled ST and then applied patch. now I have to go back and install all those mods..and skins.also make sure that it's installed in the correct path.when you reinstall just let install in the default path.

00 scrub Posted January 22, 2003 Author Posted January 22, 2003 Well I tried all that except for the defrag and I still get the same problem. I even ran Norton Disk Doctor. Anyone else have any clues as to what is wrong? Quote
+TK_ThirdWire Posted January 22, 2003 Posted January 22, 2003 00 scrub, Which version of the game do you have? and where do you have the game installed to? That message means the files its looking for is either wrong version or missing from the directory it thinks it should be in. So you might have a wrong version of the game, or it might not be looking at the right directoy. TK -- Quote
+Dagger Posted January 22, 2003 Posted January 22, 2003 Scrub when you start the game up look at the screen at the lower right side for version post it here. Quote
NefariousKoel Posted January 22, 2003 Posted January 22, 2003 I still have the Wal-Mart version installed, as I'm waiting on my replacement. Just to check, I tried installing the patch and this is what I got. Did you get it at Wally world? Quote
+Dagger Posted January 22, 2003 Posted January 22, 2003 ok thats the problem...the wally world version doesn't like the patch. Quote
00 scrub Posted January 22, 2003 Author Posted January 22, 2003 I'm a retard. I was using the walmart version. For some stupid reason I left the walmart version in its case and left the gold version in another case. gahh well thanks for all your help. Quote
