Are you unzipping everything out of the zip file first? Or, are you trying to run the installation program directly from within the zip file?

Just to get past this roadblock, are you willing and able to install it to your C: drive?

No zips: these are all executables: I'll uninstall and see if using "C" will work.
The "C" Drive is down to 21GBs Which is why I'm using drive "D".

Same bad results with "Harpoon 3 ANW v394".

How far are you getting in the installation process?

I am posting up a video showing the steps used thus far. I am at the point whereby the installer requests the s/n. Therefore, the serial number I used is valid. If you have also gotten to this point, your serial number must also be valid.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vCHIdb8kuk

Did you manage to get to this point?

When you uninstalled the game the first time, did you use the Uninstall function? Or, did you simply delete the file folders?

If you install the game to one place and then re-install the game to another location, this might cause problems. It shouldn't, but I believe it has done so in the past.

You the man Herman. But I also have these other files which i downloade legally at the same time.

I have
1] HarpoonUltimate-SetupRelease-v100a

PLUS

1] HarpoonUltimateCommandersEdition-v200905
2] HarpoonUltimateANW-SetupRelease-v3101
3] Harpoon3-SetupRelease-v363
4] Harpoon3ANW-UE-SetupRelease-v394


The "HarpoonUltimate-SetupRelease-v100a" zip does contains 5 files
plus a readme text file.
The unzipped folder looks like your YouTube video.
I'm running it now.

These four files in C:\Matrix Games\Harpoon Ultimate Edition are only temporary in nature and are used by the Installer.

1] HarpoonUltimateCommandersEdition-v200905
2] HarpoonUltimateANW-SetupRelease-v3101
3] Harpoon3-SetupRelease-v363
4] Harpoon3ANW-UE-SetupRelease-v394

The HUE installer programs (HarpoonUltimate-SetupRelease-v100a, -2, -3, -4, -5) will bring you up-to-date with all the files you need with the exception of this one:

ftp://ftp.matrixgames.com/pub/Harpoon-UltimateEdition/Harpoon3UltimateANW-Update-v3101a.zip

That is the only additional patch installer you need to run once you have the four different games installed.

You do not need to individually run the four installation programs found in your C:\Matrix Games\Harpoon Ultimate Edition folder. Running HarpoonUltimate-SetupRelease-v100a.exe should be sufficient.

Don't forget to install the PlayersDB. You'll avoid as many problems as possible. Looking forward to an MP match with you in the future.
