spwaw wants 'disk 2'

[Crimson Rhombus]

I posted this in the spwaw board last week and have not recieved a single reply, so I'll ask here, expecting nothing once more.

My installation of Spwaw stops about the 50% mark and asks for 'Disk 2'. There is, of course, no disk 2. By all appearances, my file downloaded well and looks OK.

so what's up?

I hope I am actually of assistance here.

I can state for my own self, that I can even recall installing original Steel Panthers way back when it was just called Steel Panthers.

I have never myself personally ever encountered any form version or variation of the game that was actually not on a cd rom or a complete download file.

Disk 2 seems to hark back to the days of multiple 3.5 disks though. And that has me stumped personally.

I am not saying it is something to do with your actual computer, because I can't find any way to actually make it something your computer could have created.

Still, you do seem to have an odd problem.

Can I ask, what was your source of the install program and actual date you downloaded it.
Second, do you have a broad band connection? Was it difficult for you to get the downloaded file?

Your downloaded file might not be intact in some way. You might have to re download the whole file (it does happen occasionally). The disk two comment might just be the computer responding in the only way it knows how to, to a broken file.

The download is corrupted and needs to be reaccomplished. Plain and simple.

Hi Mike, good to see you still lurking around out there.



Hope all is well.

Yeah I'm still kicking. I stopped in because I know that MegaCampaign #4 and CL are at an important climax point so I figured I'd check their progess.

The file was downloaded off a university broadband back in December, but I didin't try to install it until recently.

I suppose it could be corrupted, but why did it get half way through and then ask an intelligent question rather than simply crashing?

Oh, well. No where near broadband now, I suppose I'll simply play the original version on my old 486 if I get the urge again.

Thanks for trying, folks.
