Well, since I have Win7 64 bit it looks like I cannot easily run WFP2 as CM11 does not work with a 64 bit OS - is there another utility that would do what CM11 needs to do and work within a native 64 bit system, btw????

A possible option is to run it within a WinXP virtual machine. However, due to the the VM's lack of proper identification/utilization of my video card, I do not wish to play RB3D in it, but rather through my Win7 OS. So, I could run CM11 on an install of WFP in the WinXP VM, but would need to copy over any altered files back to the Win7 install of WFP. What files would I need to copy over? Or in other words, what file/files does the CM11 alter or load to get it to run Western Front Patch as needed?

Thanks for any help with this one!

Try Gabi's "ReLoad" program. Just move CM11's DATE folder to RB's root. Put a check mark in "Check Date Dir" in the ReLoad program.

Thanks for the suggestion, Skidd. smile

Unfortunately, while the reload date option appeared to be working, I've noticed some errors/glitches with some of the date data transfers. I suppose I could always just do a manual transfer to simpatch at the appropriate date - this isn't really all that much more difficult.
