    Default Cannot downlaod M2TW: Kingdoms

    I am trying to install Kingdoms when I encounter an error saying that I must upgrade my game to v1.03 (my vanilla M2TW is 1.00). I have tried to install the 1.3 patch given to me by the links of this forum, and while it has downloaded, I cannot seem to fully install it.

    Odd because I have ran these same games, the exact same cd's, and have never encountered this specific problem, I have never had to run a new patch to install Kingdoms.

    Thank you in advance,

    Are you using the Gold discs? What OS are you running?

    Do you have Winrar installed ? I think the patches needed winrar. However IIRC I never had to install any patches before installing Kingdom as Kingdom disk will automatically patch Medieval 2 first.

    As LestaT said, the patches are on the Kingdoms disc.

    I do not have the Gold disk, running Windows 7.

    Yea usually I install with no problems, this is giving me fits though. What is a Winrar?

    1.2 and 1.3 are on my original Kingdoms discs, not Gold.

    Meaning when I try to install Kingdoms it should automatically update, seems like it should, it has in the past.

    Tired downloading a trial version of Winrar, but how do you use it?

    I am kinda computer illiterate, so please bear with me.

    Thanks,

    If the autoupdater on the Kingdoms disc does not work, and many times doesn't, open the disc in Computer, and in update2, update3, and in each of the four Kingdoms folders is a setup.exe. Run these instead in order.

    On the file with the .zip, .rar, and a host of other extensions, right-click the file and Open with, and choose WinRAR.

    I am not understanding this at all, I have tried to open by the update2/3, but that just opens other folders that I also cannot open. Now it is saying that need some mss32.dll.

    This is really confusing, all these last times (probably 3-4 times) I have installed this with zero problems.....

    Just found a "main" folder and has the four kingdoms, has "unpack_britannia" and the others. I go to open them and all I get is a lash on my screen for a millisecond. I can tell it has a black background and white writing.

    Missing mss32.dll means its time for a clean install. The game is not recognizing your sound drivers with Miles Sound systems .dll.

    Have you installed it on this computer with Win 7 before?

    You don't have Kingdoms campaigns installed yet.

    Do you need help getting a clean install?

    Have you ever installed any mods?

    This is the best way I have found and I have tried a few. any questions along the, please ask.

    1. Uninstall the game in Control Panel.
    2. Delete both Medieval II Total War folders, one in Program Files (x86) and one hidden in users\username\appdata\roaming.
    3. Run a good free registry cleaner like Ccleaner or Eusing Free Registry Cleaner. This must be done because CA's uninstaller never does.
    4. Log in as Administrator.
    5. Disable the UAC. This game being XP borne does not like it. http://www.mydigitallife.info/how-to...-in-windows-7/
    8. Take ownership of your C: drive icon. http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...Store-Problems This will cure many ills with XP and older games. I'm stil playing SimCity4 on Win 7 64 bit.
    9. Install the game in C:\Games. This gets you away from Steve Ballmer's poor excuse for a security layer and virtual store problems.
    10. Be sure to get the right Kingdoms non-Gold patch.

    Above all else, good luck on this quest.
