Hi guys,

I bought Harpoon Ultimate Edition Download back in May of this year,
I've been having a hell of a time setting it up on windows7 64bit.
I assume not everything in the package is win-7 x64 compatible.
My question is what part of the download shoud/can I install on win-7 x64.
I have this game going back to DOS, so I'm an old Harpoon fan.
I've been to Matrix's? forum but 'am still unsure on how to proceed.
What part can I actually install on win-7 x64?
Can any of you guys help me out with this?

Hi Herman,

I keep getting various errors, and two--can't remember which Harpoon3UltimateANW-- refuse to start.
I am going to reinstall it again, going slowly, and see if i can get it right.
There's also supposed to be a required patch 3.10x which I can't seem to find.
Also, there is the problem of it asking me for a key.
Well I paid for it and have my serial.

Here are some folks who claim Win7 -64bit works:

In order to get HUE 3.10 to work, you must install the 3.10.1a patch:
ftp://ftp.matrixgames.com/pub/Harpoon-UltimateEdition/Harpoon3UltimateANW-Update-v3101a.zip

A beta (experimental) patch was also posted by AGSI (3.10.1.4) but it does not run. Do NOT install this beta crap. If you try to run this beta, it will show the symptoms you report (fail to start.)

Please be more specific with each step you take. When dealing with Harpoon bugs and problems, there is no such thing as too much information. You are not insulting anyone's intelligence by reporting every minute detail encountered.

I do not know when you are being asked for this serial number. At what step? All patches require s/n to open.

I'm online and available to try and chat/talk you through the process if you are interested. I use MSN, Yahoo, and IRC.

OK I'm gonna reboot and start the process it's 1556hrs. here now.

Let me know if there is another way you wish to chat.

Hi Herman,
so installed just HUCE and it says invalid serial. Bullshitt, I just checked my order at Plimus and I
have the correct serial. Maybe I'm installing this thing backwards. There's more than one executables
in the order.

Did you do a copy/paste for the serial number? Maybe you included an extra space or something.

I think most folks just tell the main program to install all four programs from the HUE bundle at the same time. It takes awhile, too.

1) H3 v3.6.3
2) ANW v3.9.4
3) HUE v3.10.0
4) HUCE

Just installed "Harpoon3-SetupRelease-v363". The install finished with this message
"Invalid Regkey:HKLM\software\Wow6432Node\MatrixGames\hARPOON 3v3.6.3
What in the wide wide orld of ports is going on?

First time I've ever heard of a problem like that. Is your hard drive set up with any special partitions? Are you using the game default directory paths suggested? Is this all happening on your c:\ drive? or, are you installing somewhere else?
