I have the North American Strategy First version of the game. Had if for the last four years and had patch 1.08 installed earlier without any problems. Like I said before there seems to be some sort of conflict with my computer and the installer that spontaneously appeared out of no where. I finally got it running by the copy and paste method, but had to extract the files on a different computer. Patched it to the new betas and it has no problems not even a crash until the mid 1500's, probably due to agc-eep. Every thing works fine except my computer won't let the installer do its job. I have done everything that the self help section suggests twice, including defragging the hard drives, and deleting registry keys. Is it possible that I might have to do this for all possible users since its on a network?
