Hello,

Sorry if this is the wrong place to put this but i am having trouble trying to install both these patches ( I am aware that i won't need to install v1.1 if i install v1.2) Everytime i try to install the patches, i keep getting the below error message:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Paradox Interactive\Doomsday\HoI2.exe

An error occurred while trying to replace the existing file:
DeleteFile failed; code 5.
Access is Denied

Click to Retry to try again, Ignore to skip the file (not recommended), or Abort to cancel installation.

I am unsure of what to do so any advice on how to install the patches successfully would be greatly appreciated. Sorry about making the original thread in the wrong place.

Many Thanks,

Alfie
 
Right-click the patch installer and run it with administrator rights. The other option would be to deinstall the game and to reinstall it somewhere outside of c:\program files to avoid these (and future) permission problems.
