Kingdom's patch freezing

[Wolfgrin]

I recently did a fresh re-install of MTW2 with no problems. (I had totally uninstalled and manually deleted all previously installed folders.) My problem is: When I try to install Kingdoms and it tries to patch to 1.2, the installation hangs when the loading bar is down to the last rectangle. I've let it stay there for a few hours, but it has never completed. Any suggestions?

I'm on Windows Xp with a P4, lots of memory, etc.

I did NOT patch to 1.1 before trying to install Kingdoms.

I've installed and re-installed this game without problems before. This is my first re-install of Kingdoms, though.

[AlfonsoVIII]

Did you buy or download M2TW and Kingdoms?

[Wolfgrin]

Both are on retail DVDs, not downloaded.

[AlfonsoVIII]

What else is running on your comp? Like Antivirus and stuff.

[Wolfgrin]

Anti-virus in background. That and Freecell, which I wouldn't think would get in the way -- never has before.

[Wolfgrin]

Okay, I just tried this:

Turned off Anti-Virus.
Clean install of MTW2.
Install of downloaded 1.1 patch
Install of downloaded 1.2 patch

Again, the patch hangs at the very end, on Pack2, I believe.

This is driving me nuts.

Post your dxdiag, please.

The system.log.txt is not needed as there is nothing to keep it from running.
Click start, click run, type dxdiag, save to file, and send about the first 100 lines. If there are any problems in there it will show up.

I hope this is enough:

I thought I should add this:

The patches DO eventually install, but it takes about an hour and a half for 1.2 and 1.3 EACH. Then Kingdoms installs from the first disc, but doesn't ask for the second.

I've since cleaned my registry, defragged and double-checked to see that no MTW files were left in my Program Files.

I'm trying again, but it doesn't look good. I don't know what else to do.

Two things,
Video drivers need to be updated.
No sign of .net framework. Need to get the latest from Microsoft.

My thanks to both of you for trying to help. It's working now. What I don't understand is why both of the patches take an hour and a half to install, and why Kingdoms didn't install all the way the first two times. Weird.

As to the .net framework, I dlled and installed .net 3 per your suggestion. Odd it doesn't show up.

Thanks again.
