[zcylen]

"this update 1.03.000 can't be applied to the 1.00.000 version of the game"


might souns stupid,,,but why? is this?
do I need to patch the original game?
am i missing something?

Have you modded the game any or installed any mods?

Kingdoms will install on a clean 1.0, 1.2, 0r 1.3. Any change and you reinstall Medieval2 to install Kingdoms.

Do you have any games made by EA installed? Do you have anything installed that could trip Securom?

zcylen, just to clarify - what version is your copy of M2 patched to?

Actually irishron, what do you say about just getting him patched to 1.2 before going the full Reg nuke route. Patch 1.3 wasn't meant to be applied to a clean 1.0 install of M2 in the first place - I can see where the error message is coming from in that instance.

@zyclen - browse the Kingdoms disc you have and look for the "Update 2" folder (or some such - I'm not sure on an original copy of Kingdoms). The point is that the 1.2 patch is on that disc somewhere - run it first before attempting to install Kingdoms and see if that solves your problem. Good luck!

Okay, let's do something. Install and run Eusing Free Registry Cleaner or CCleaner, your choice, reboot, then tryi it.

Update folder and Update 3 folders are on the Kingdoms disc. I have the original.

I have this feeling there is something left on the harddrive. to throw the error.

Guys i think there are UK, US versions of these patches so that might be why he can't patch it up.
1.0 to v1.2 then v1.3 then kingdoms(1.4) and then v1.5.

[irishron]

The old original Kingdoms dvd comes with the Medieval2 1.2 and 1.3 patches on it.

They are in folders Update2 and Update3.

When I need a fresh install, I install Medieval2, and put the Kingdoms dvd in right behind it and let it do the patching.

The US 1.2 patch the last time I checked was still something 615mb, and I'm not doing that, again.

[zcylen]

I did what you guys told me and it worked

after check the update 2 and 3 folders I installed kingdoms
and now it running an Im currently playing the crusades

thanx!!!

[irishron]
