See the main topic at the top of this board. When the CD spins fast then slow and back again it still may start to load as mine did. But then there was the load problem mentioned in the other threads. Check those out.

I for one don't mind not having the game log in the reg or having to use the Add/Remove utility to get the game off my HD.
-
Create the scenarios folder and place the files in there. You are correct.
-
redwolf, some have not only noticed the 'milky' area but also some deformation along the edge. I have both.
-
Dl'ing them now. Thanks.

Roger that triangle shape too.

Guys, check this thread. I always disable everything except systray and explorer when I load programs.

Matt, I have:5847 files in the "BMP" folder2324 files in the "WAV" folder
70 files in the "Scenarios" folder
2 files in the "OpenPlay Modules" folder
BMP = 5847
WAV = 2174
No SCN files but I had them sent to me by another member of this forum.
2 files in the "OpenPlay Modules" folder both named TCPIP.dll and TCPIP.lib.
Obviously missing WAV files and the disk does look a little screwed up. Looking at it again I see the water drop-like mark at the edge and the weird colored wavy rings around the center. Looks like a splash of gas in a puddle of water.

Thanks to Schrullenhaft for emailing me the Scenarios and battles. It was very appreciated. Game works but as with rewolf I am unsure if I am missing anything.
-
Thanks, I'm BFC then.
-
Not to appear too stupid but what are BFC and CDV?
-
Matt:Originally posted by Madmatt:Three people have now reported this issue to me either here or in email, but I need to get some data clarified.
Which version are these CMBB CD's?
Mac or PC and BFC or CDV? I think since its a WinRar installer your all on the PC version.
I also need detailed specs on the systems you are installing from including CD type and manufactorer.
Also, have any of you tried to install on a different computer and is it still failing there as well?
If CDV versions, which language are they in?
Also, if these are CDV versions then you will also need to contact their Tech/Customer Support for help although I will continue to work with you to get the issue resolved.

Schrullenhaft, I just changed my email addy to the correct one. If it isn't a problem could you send it to the new one when you have a moment.
Thanks a lot.

Thats how I wound up. Even with the error and not completely loading I can still do a quick battle. No SCNs or battles were loaded. Really strange.
-
First time it failed on (CRC ERROR) 00005003.wav and also got the error at the end. See gif above. Second try I just got the end error and no CRC on the wav. Confusing to say the least. Any real problems happen at the end, last few seconds of loading/copying.Disk does look a little weird. Not smudges but a screwy oval pattern around the center. An emulsion SNAFU?Like ripples but not an even pattern.
I'll look for a big disk to copy later but I have never had this problem before, esecially with CMBO.

I will try that next. Just might be the thing and will post the good or bad news here after the try.
*EDIT*
Just tried to copy and with 15 seconds left to go I get an error:
Maybe a bad disk??Cannot copy CMBB Instaler: Cannot read from the source file or disk.[ September 21, 2002, 08:25 PM: Message edited by: CJMello ]

Redwolf, check the url. You are not alone in the error category.

I always close everything except explorer and systray when I load programs. HD was defragged last night and also a scan disk the day before. Windows/Temp folder is empty as usual.
Will keep digging and see what is up. Also open to more advice and I appreciate the advice already given.
Roby, demo or full version?

I removed one stick of RAM. Usually have trouble loading when I have both in when loading programs and running Win98SE, 60GB HD, loaded this time with 256RAM, Dx 8.1.
No CRC error on WAV file just the same error as noted in the gif below. Never saw a setup.exe on the CD. Just the CMBB Installer program. It stated in the maual to click on the setup.exe but stated nothing about the installer.exe. I realize things from the final version and the manual sometimes.
Thought for a second I might have gotten a Mac version. Will have to poke around with my system I guess to see what is up as I am not sure what is missing and causing the read error. I can play a quick battle and that is it, no stock battles or campaigns where installed. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Not sure why it failed and failed to load Scenarios, etc. and only letting me play a quick mission.
Nothing was written to the registery so nothing will show up in Start|Programs or in the Add\Remove programs areas. Whatever I have (BMPs, WAVs, and a few folder with the cmbb exe was just extracted. As you can see it almost finished installing.
Thanks in advance.

I pretty much got the same error on a wav and then the whole thing failed. I will look at this more later and play around a bit. OS was reinstalled not too long ago but I will look at my RANM issue as when I have both 256 sticks in I sometimes get loading problems. WIll retry later.
Also why re DL the Demo?
