Patches won't install - "file size" error

[Castellon]

From what you have said you are sure you have the SF version of the Game and the SF1.02 patch.

So lets get a few things out of the way.

1) You downloaded the patch and did not try and run it from the site, right?

2)You are trying to install the patch to the right directory on your hard drive and not onto the CD drive?

3)What is the path you installed the game to?

4)What is the drive letter for your CD rom drive?

5)When you installed the original game you had no problem with the install? And you have made no modifications to the files, and you can play the game 1.00 normally?

Why did the CD rom drive end up changing from D: to E: ?

I would put the drive to D: then follow these insrtuctions
Uninstall HOI

Then try a fresh install. Only try applying the 1.02 patch.

No one else has reported this error so it may take us a while to track it down please be patient.

Nope, the files are not available seperately.

Do you get any other screen before the error one.
Something like Initializing.

What is the exact file size of your 1.02 patch?

I forget exactly what the path to that is in Win98. Probably something like Start-->Control Panel-->System-->Advanced Settings-->Memory Management

Control Panel - System - Performance - Virtual Memory.

What version of directX do you have?

Do you have any kind of Virus software running?

Well I am stumped for now but I will think about it some more. In the meanwhile we have called the big guns in, but they are pretty busy and may take a while to get back to us or you. Sorry for the delay, we will do our best.

Thanks Nabil, Patric et al.

You must have something wrong with your operating system or some kind of Virus or virus software running. I hate to say it but you may need to do a complete wipe of your system and reinstall your operating system.
