[Links to CMFI Patches down?]

I'm seeing this same error now, but for the CMBN and CMRT patches.

[Best way to install all games on new computer?]

I just updated all five of my games and I didn't find it difficult at all with a printout of the forum instructions in hand.  Unlike what I said above, I decided to just install the upgrades and not do full reinstalls of the games.

I'm probably too late to help too but I'll put this in case anyone else reads it looking for the information.....

If you purchased the 4.0 Big Bundle, to do full installations of each game you would download the Full Windows/Mac versions for each title. For instance the full game installer for a Windows computer for CMBN is called "CMBN 4.0 Full Windows". That will install everything through the 4.0 Upgrade. The base game and every module, patch, Upgrade and Pack.

From there you will need to activate things. Here are the keys you'll need for each title....assuming that you own everything (some items may be part of a Bundle but I think you'll get the idea):

 

CMBN: 4.0, 3.0, Market Garden, Commonwealth, Vehicle Pack, Battle Pack

CMRT: original base game and 4.0

CMFI: base game, 4.0, 3.0 and Gustav Line

CMBS: base game and 4.0

As mentioned above, CMBS also has the 2.01 patch that needs to be installed. The 2.01 patch and CMBS Battle Pack are the exact same download. The only difference is that when you purchase the Pack you get a key to "unlock" the content.

I can dig how much of a pain it may be to dig through your account for all of the key. Whenever I get a new key for something I add it to a Word document that I keep so that I can get to them easily. 

This is exactly the information I was looking for.  Thanks, Elvis!  I just downloaded all of Engine 4 installers and am planning to uninstall my old versions (at least BN and FI) and do a clean install of the latest versions.  I'll also be doing fresh installs on a future gaming laptop sometime this year (fingers crossed).

[Problems installing CMFI]

Norton is our enemy. We don't know why, but it hates us despite us doing nothing wrong as far as we can tell. Our standard advice is to disable Norton when doing an installation. It's been bad before, but it seems to be getting worse.

And we are not alone. For many years now I've seen many people joke that Norton itself is a virus

With Fortress Italy it's not just installation that's a problem with Norton. Even after I had rescued the .exe file from quarantine after installation, Norton 360 v5.0 would swoop in and re-quarantine the file every time I'd try to run Fortress Italy. I finally figured out how to tell Norton to leave the .exe file alone, and now it works fine.

[Did you spot the thread on *CMBN* upgrade?]

Now that I realize CMBN will eventually upgrade to 2.0 features as well, I may just skip CMFI and Sicily and wait for CMBN 2.0 -- haven't decided yet.

Actually, it's not clear to me if future purchasers of CMBN will receive the 2.0 version, or the 1.0 version and will still need to purchase the 2.0 upgrade separately. Did I miss that detail somewhere in the threads?
