Spence - the 1123x4 file is on the attachment in the first sticky post but I haven't had any luck unzipping it and installing it since my Norton 360 moves it into quarantine and deletes it. I'm just stuck now using the 1108r9 official version for now.

Turn off Norton. install beta, turn Norton back on. [:)]

Uninstall Norton, install beta, throw Norton into the dustbin. [:)]

A better fix.

[GeorgePatton]

thanks all for the advice but to be honest I just don't feel comfortable turning it off or uninstalling it. I'm not much of a techie and don't want to mess around with configurations that I have no idea what implications are down the road.

BTW, my Norton 360 also detected a mplayer.exe file that stated was malicious and quarantined after I tried to unzip the file.
Not sure if that originated from the 1123x4 file but after trying again with no success on unzipping, I'm giving up.

Which is bad really since I really want to update my game with all the cool fixes since the last official one

George,

There is actually a feature in Norton 360 to allow you to override this. It is failing only because of "reputation". You can disable the reputation for 15 mins while you update. It will come back on automatically. Open the Norton site help and search for "reputation disablement".

THis is what I had to do to get the x4 on my machine as well. know your pain.

Also, I do not recommend that you do without a good anti-virus product. I just don't recommend Norton. I dumped it years ago. I currently use NOD32 from ESET, but there are other good ones such as Kaspersky. I'm sure other people will have good recommendations too.

OK - now I've done it.

I have (had) two PBEMs going...one that was in version 1.7.1123x of the Beta and a new one that was supposed to start in version 1.7.1123x4 of the Beta.

I thought I had segregated them by putting them in different directories/folders. But apparently that is not the case. Both folders got modified to the "x4" version. The saved games path for my latest turn in the "old game" still exists so the latest turn goes...somewhere just like before but not to the save game file of the "old folder" so I can't load it.

How do I fix this so I can play both games simultaneously?

[spence]

The save files for the old game are in the save directory of the "old beta" version but the computer apparently can't find them. The beta in the old directory says Beta2.

Very frustrating situation.

[spence]

OK - now I've gotten some help with the nuts and bolts of this I find I need to get one of the nuts back. Where can I find version 1.7.1123x?

Just wanted to chime in and give a hearty "thank you" to Michael for his continued excellent support of this gem of a game.

I do have just one request:

Not sure if this has been brought up already (almost certain it has), but is there any way of adding a "Set Ops Mode at Destination" function for ground units that are on the move? Sure would be very handy. However, if the mechanics wouldn't allow such a feature to be included then that is alright, I can easily live with that.

Thank you again, sir! [&o]

Capt - that's the exact same message I received WS.Reputation.1

Afraid not. Would be nice to pre-plan somethings to happen later

Or, After you download the beta, 1. Turn off your internet card in your system, I have a button on my keyboard, 2. Turn off your anti virus software, 3. unzip beta, 4. run installer, 5. when installer is complete, turn on anti virus software, and 6. turn on your internet. [8D][8D][8D]
