combatplus2 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I had been running v. 1.5 on my Win XP box awhile back, then missed the 1.6 version (I believe). On my attempt to leapfrog to 1.7 the Game Updater bombed and simply gave me the message: Checking platform 'WIN32' files... FAILED - press RETURN to quit. I did a full reinstall from CD, back to v.1.0, and tried update again, but got exactly the same bomb and diagnotic as before. Please help! Thanks.

ClaytoniousRex Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 There should be a file called Update.log in your DropTeam directory. Can you please email that file to me? And not to worry; even in the worst case you can just download the manual patch anyway (but let's look at the log first and try to fix your updater!)

combatplus2 Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 Thanks for the assistance Clay! For the forum - it turns out my firewall (McAfee)was blocking the Game Updater program. This never used to happen, but apparently it does now. My workaround was just to temporarily disable the firewall while running Updater. (For those McAfee firewall users out there, expect to get no alert or diagnostic message! It will simply block Updater from running.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
