Install...missing "data3.cab"

[jpgraft]

I just received my game and tried to install. I get an error "Please insert disk 0 that contains the file data3.cab" What in the world is up with this? Please help!!!! :confused:

Open up the Explorer File Manager and go to the C:\WINDOWS\TEMP directory. Delete all of the files and directories you find here. This error occurs because CMBO uses a standard installer that many other programs do and for some reason it picks up on previous installation's setup files left in the temporary directory. When you delete these files and restart the Installer it shouldn't pick up on these files.

If that doesn't work, then just copying over the entire contents of the CD (with directory structure intact) to a particular directory should suffice since that is basically what the installer does (the files are not compressed).

Problem: During installation on a Windows system setup prompts, "Please insert disk 0 that contains the file data 3.cab.” or any other disk or data.cab file.

Cause/Solution: This occurs when a previous program leaves its setup files in the Windows Temp folder. Browse to your Windows Temp folder (default location c:\Windows\Temp) and delete all files and folders located there. Now rerun setup.

If that fails see below for Manual Game Installation Procedure.

Manual Game Installation Procedure (Windows):

Create a directory somewhere on your computer called "CMBO" (Recommend C:\Program Files\CMBO). Now open Windows Explorer and browse to the Combat Mission CD. Copy the Wav, BMP and Scenarios folders into your new CMBO folder. Be sure that you copy the folder AND files inside of them! Now copy the Combat Mission.exe file from the CD to your new CMBO folder.

Now launch the game from your hard drive. You will still need to have the CD in

the CD drive to play the game (this is done for copy protection reasons) but all the

files will be on your computer and it should be okay.
