i think i have tried every hint mentioned here (probs with patch 1.2 for MIITW)

[maonow]

i have read almost every hint mentioned here about problems with updating MII with patch 1.2
..cleaned registry
.. tried several different patches..
..deleted files specified in readme..
.. tried it with batch files.. and also the other way with inserting line in preference.cfg
..not using different lang versions.. just international
..now downloading different MII files..

nothing works, maybe i am just tired and annoyed and can not see something i forgot to do..

here is my log (alway something missing):

hi, i had this problem too. but this worked:

check if your DVDs are not damaged / files are unaltered in any way
uninstall everything,
clean traces of m2tw registry,
reinstall from DVD straight to default directory,
run 1.2 patch only, immediately after install.
