EricM Posted September 11, 2000 Share Posted September 11, 2000 OK I downloaded the patch and followed the instructions in the read me file as well as those posted here for upgrading 1.02 to 1.05. When I shift+drag the new .exe file (the one with the tank) to the old file I do not get a message asking if I wish to overwrite the "combatmission.exe". The game just starts up. I tried the copy and paste commands and nothing. When CM starts up it still says v.1.02. I assume that when the word drag is used, you mean the left mouse button. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your patience with a user of computers and not one who understands the medium. Eric McClure 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MajorH Posted September 11, 2000 Share Posted September 11, 2000 Shift+drag the new exe file into the same folder as the old exe file but do not release it on top of the old exe file (or on top of any other file). Shift+draging a file on top of another file is a cue to Windows to try to run the file that was dropped 'onto'. Shift+draging a file into/onto a folder is a cue to Windows to copy the file into the folder. ------------------ Best regards, Major H majorh@mac.com 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Man Posted September 12, 2000 Share Posted September 12, 2000 You might have to remove the old .exe. first..Put it someplace safe until you are sure the Patch works.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
