Installing CMBN bundle... can't get 4.05 to install

Post by 10harold66 »

I can't seem to get the 4.05 installer to work, as it keeps telling me I don't have 4.05 installed already, which doesn't make sense. I'm sure I did something wrong somewhere, but just not sure. Help please!

I suppose without knowing what you did, or didn't do, that you may be using the wrong installer? Is this a fresh, clean install?

There is a 'full' installer and a 'DLC' installer, I'm not certain but I think the DLC installer assumes CMBN is already installed. If you're attempting a new install you want to use the file named: CombatMission-BattleForNormandy-MultiSetup-v4.05. If you've already installed v4.05 and are just adding DLC's you'll want to use CombatMission-BattleForNormandy-MultiDLCSetup.

HTH

I've uninstalled/reinstalled the full installer multiple times (brand new PC) and no joy. Waiting on a reply from support for a ticket I submitted this weekend (I'm sure they are catching up since it was a Monday). The screen where you select a game from the dropdown and then enter a serial number doesn't display Battle Pack 2 as an option, even though the purchase confirmation and the downloads page shows a serial number. There's just no where to enter it. But of course, one might think installing 4.05 would prompt one for said serial number, but I keep getting the "you don't have 4.05 installed" to which I shake my head.

For grins, I have 4.05 installed with all the DLC, I ran the 4.05 installer, and the installer recognized that I already have CMBN installed but didn't recognize the version and gave me the opportunity to uninstall it! :o

Hopefully, the support folks will get with you soon!
