#2891971 - 10/31/09 06:59 PM Start up problem with 1.28c
Steven190 SimHQ Member Registered: 02/04/03 Posts: 882 Loc: Omaha	I just downloaded the new 1.28c and installed it as directed. When I click the EAW icon I get the following message "You need a full official EAW installation (EAW CD or payed download) to run 1.28c" I even put in the EAW CD and still get the message. This install has been running for years and I have updated it to 1.28b What did I do wrong? _________________________ AMD FX2 6800, Asus Crosshair mobo 3 gig Corsair CMX2 6400 Silver Stone 750 2)RaptorX 150 gig 1) 500 gig backup drive 8800GTX Ultra Black Pearl on 178.13 drivers Koolance water system Dell 2405 FP monitor Creative X-Fi Exteme Track4Pro/ Vector 6DOF

iron mike SimHQ Member Registered: 02/09/07 Posts: 1868 Loc: Maryland, USA	I have a 1.2 EAW made from an original disc. I copied the contents of the disc to a new folder. I didn't run the EAW install. Ran EAW once and exited. Then patched it to official EAW 1.2 ran it and exited. Made a copy and saved it as a back up, archive or what ever. Then I copied the 1.28C install and ran it. A few seconds later it was finished. All I did after that was to make sure that my joystick settings were pasted into the EAW.ini and started it. All runs correctly. Try it like that and let up know. BTW which OS are you using? _________________________ http://www.sandbagger.uk.com/ironmike.html

MrJelly SimHQ Member Registered: 04/30/02 Posts: 4065 Loc: Adelaide, South Australia	Quote: * 3 A new EAW install: * Make a new EAW folder and copy the "DLL" files (except "_SETUP.DLL), the "CDF" files, and the "CHATLINE.TXT" file from the MicroProse or Infogames CD into it. Also copy the "MUSIC" folder. Try that please, and then run the installer. Jel _________________________ Now you can fly online or off with dozens more choices than EAW 1.2 based exes can provide!

Steven190 SimHQ Member Registered: 02/04/03 Posts: 882 Loc: Omaha	I am running Vista 32 as a OS I did copy the needed files from the CD, but put them in the old install, I thought that I could keep the favorite planes and terrain and other items. Will have to do a new install _________________________ AMD FX2 6800, Asus Crosshair mobo 3 gig Corsair CMX2 6400 Silver Stone 750 2)RaptorX 150 gig 1) 500 gig backup drive 8800GTX Ultra Black Pearl on 178.13 drivers Koolance water system Dell 2405 FP monitor Creative X-Fi Exteme Track4Pro/ Vector 6DOF
