Alpha 42 won't run

Post by Purno »

I just copied TTD from my other pc and downloaded the latest patch (win version) and installed it. I deleted all files like ttdpatch.cfg and ttdload.ovl from the old patch (alpha 29) but TTDPatch gives me a error when running: "TTD not correctly installed (registry error 4), Press any key to abort". Funny thing is the Shadows registry editor says TTD is installed in the correct folder and that TTD does run correctly (without the patch). Any ideas of what I could try to let the patch run?

(btw, win98se)

The manual says that registry error 4 means TTDPatch can't find a DOS-compatible name for the installation directory (which is needed to play the music).

Either your path is too long or too complicated. Try installing in a different folder.
