Install order?

Post by Trilogy »

Just trying to clarify:

I am trying to do a fresh reinstallation of SOW.

I have:
the 1.301 (or whatever it was) base installation files from NorbSoft,
the Pipe Creek and Antietam addons,
and the 1.5 revised patch just released.

In what order do I install these, and do I need to activate/deactivate at any certain point?

EDIT: Or maybe I'll just grab the files at Matrix, where the install order is obvious since all are at 1.50.

Order as above, maybe the addons after 1.50 or Matrix.

I installed in this order


1.4
Patched to 1.
Antietam
Pipes Creek

Now should pipes creek and antietam have been installed in a specific location within the SOW folder as I can no longer see any of the single player scenarios in the list or in the additional battles section of the game and I can't play them in mp . I can play all of the maps in Garniers GCM mod but no stock versions which makes me think they installed to the wrong location.

They should have been installed in the same folder as GB.

Well I have looked through my drives and the game papers to have installed ok both pipes creek and antietam maps are listed but they do not appear to be in the right location can you tell me where in the game filers the specific files should or should I just delete all and start again patch to.1.4,installed the map packs and then install the patch?

If you're going to start over, download the latest version of SOW, the link is at the top of this page.

Install the 1.5 patch located here:

http://www.matrixgames.com/products/441 ... Gettysburg

Then install AN and PC.

This is the recommended order as stated by ADukes earlier.

You may want to delete your Registry entries first as outline by Norb here:

Let us know how it works.
