when i try to install the patch all i get is a message saying " An installation support file C:/Program Files/Common Files/InstallShield/engine/6/Intel 32/iKernel.exe could not be installed the filename directory nameor volume label syntax is incorrect" i tried to install it over a clean copy of HOI running Patch 1.03 but have had no luck so any help would be good.
 
tried what it said on that link made no difference any more help :confused:
 
Did you install the game to the default drive and directory?
 
yep its C:\Program Files\Paradox Entertainment\Hearts of Iron
 
What language files are installed.
Example: English (UK)
What is the label of your C drive?

did you do the install from a saved file, or direct from the internet? i was not able to get the saved (in download directory) to work, so i went back to PE and did the install from the internet. works fine.

hope this helps.
 
This is generally not recommended!

But if it worked for you that's great.

hmmm. that is strange. i have tried several times to install from a saved download of the update file. it has never worked. btw, i do not have any games (that is, not just HoI ! ) on my "C" drive. that may be the reason. FWIW, i now have three copies of 1.06c on my "E" drive [in folders HoI5, HoI6, and HoI7 :cool: ]. in each instance, i could not update from 1.02 (from CD) to 1.06c except directly from the internet. also, some of these are reinstalls, so that i have tried more than those three times to update 1.02 to 1.06c...

OH well, at least everything seems to work OK. :cool:
 
That means you are having Download problems.

i did multiple download/saves to C:\download files directory. should i have downloaded into the game directory?
 
What happens when you run those programs?

i just did another install of HoI into a new folder. first, i install from CD. second, i ran the 1.06c upgrade from the old download, and everything worked fine! :wacko:

any ideas?
 
Not having the complete step by step history of what you have tried and done, it is impossible to say. It works now so everything is right with the world.
