I have fired up my WITP to prepare for the Admirals edition. I get fatal error:999 when I try to run it. I installed set up 1.5,
then 1.80 comprehensive then 1.0806 revamped. I have AVG free antivirus. I am running Vista.
There is a thread regarding this error, and following the instructions does not work for me.
I would like to volunteer as a AE beta tester to see if AE runs for me. I would even be glad to do other things....

Deinstall completely, then reinstall:
1) Use whatever CD/download version you have down to 1.00
2) Use 1.804 COMPREHENSIVE patch
3) Use 1.806 Revised patch (current download version).
EDIT: You should probably re-download the patches to make sure you don't have a corrupt patch file.

In Vista, I'd recommend also installing somewhere else than in C:\Program Files folder. Installing there can cause all sorts of problems with installation and updating, since Vista tries to protect the content of that folder.

Right - you pretty much have to install to the default directory (C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific), or you can (almost certainly) get problems.

I disabled AVG for a freash install and it still happened. I then tested each step, and it appears to occur only if I install 1806 revamped.
Thoughts?
