[RESOLVED] exe files wont load

Post by jason oates »

Hi, i have downloaded several earlier versions but cant get any to install.
Could anyone post links to older versions, 13, 14, 15, 16 The most functioning versions.
I had downloaded a number but they fail to install. I deleted the current install and now have nothing.
Please help!!!!!!

So you have deleted manually the content of the Command folder and is empty?

Hi thanks for reading my post. Yeh, out of desperation i figured the downloaded versions were not installing cause there was already an installation in place. Now they still wont install. Doh!

Make sure to install 1 first. Typically then just install .18.

You can choose a previous version like .14 to ,17 if you want. But looking at your struggles, I'd just stick to the official installs.

If I understand correctly Jason cannot install Command because deleted the game folder manually, and so the installer "thinks" it is already installed because the data in the registry are still there.

You need to delete this info from the registry to reinstall the game.

If you do not know how to do it I would contact Matrix support directly.

Edit: same problem in this thread with the solution.

You can install multiple CMOs. I have three plus the Steam version.

Thank You everyone I have re-installed CMO as per your helpful advice. Im not doing the .18 update. It caused enough hassle the first time. I await the next update. I did post about the .18 problems in a post called "Many things seem to be wrong".
