I am a newbie in HCE.

I am just trying to do a clean install of HCE on my laptop.

I tried the following sequence of patches:

1. HarpoonCommandersEdition-SetupRelease-v2008-024

2. HarpoonCommandersEdition-UpdateInstaller-2008.024 = It's working

3. HCE-UpdateComprehensiveInstaller-2009.050 = Error: The specified file: '' could not be found.

 

Do I have to install v2008.044 before install v2009.050?

By the way in this link

http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=2477778

I saw about 2009.042, this make me confuse, what is the order to install the patch?

(if 2009.042 is required, could you give me the download link please)

 

thank you in advance

1. HarpoonCommandersEdition-SetupRelease-v2008-024

2. HCE-UpdateComprehensiveInstaller-2009.050

 

Is the correct sequence for you. Make sure you double-check that the 2009.050 installer is pointed to the location where you installed 2008-024.

 

If that doesn't work please let me know where you are getting the error message and what operating system you are using so that I can try to replicate the issue.

My OS is windows 7

in set up :

1. Double click HCE-UpdateComprehensiveInstaller-2009.050

2. next (User information)

3. Next --> there is error message in the middle part. The error message is Error: The specified file: '' could not be found.

4. But I ignored it and press next button

5. change for the installation folder according to my HCE folder

6. The game is working, but I am curious about the error message Error: The specified file: '' could not be found. .

Did it perfectly updated? what do you think?

 

By the way, Does it necessary to install HarpoonCommandersEdition-UpdateInstaller-2008.024 (289 mb)

or just HarpoonCommandersEdition-SetupRelease-v2008-024 (338 mb)?

One more question, I download the file (2009.050) from Matrix games's site and using Internet download manager.

But in 98% there is error then I tried to resume the download prosses until 100%.

 

This is file hashes of my 2009.050 :

CRC32: 762C92FA

MD5: 0C1220C15D93288B2ACC3901BF57B3ED

SHA-1: 98DF05E2D928355D8DC1718C92514F9870B76F18

 

Could you check it with your file please.

 

 

Thanks

Thank you for posting back. You definitely don't need to install the 2008.024 update (hence only two installs in my reply to you). Are you by chance running a non-English version of Windows? I test on US English mostly but also test a German Windows XP for good measure. I expect what you are not seeing is the Matrix Games license agreement.

 

If the title bar of your GE (Winharp32.exe) says 2009.050 then you should be updated correctly.

Yes the title bar of my GE (Winharp32.exe) says 2009.050.

My original OS is Vista Japanese version, because I bought my laptop in Japan.

Then I changed my OS to windows 7 English version.

 

When I installed HarpoonCommandersEdition-SetupRelease-v2008-024, the menu was mix (English text and Japanese Text).

And menu for agreement to install this game was in Japanese Text.

The 2009.05 patch is all Japanese Text (I dowloaded the file from Matrix Games site)

 

One more question, I download the file (2009.050) from Matrix games's site and using Internet download manager.

But in 98% there is error then I tried to resume the download proses until 100%.

This is file hashes of my 2009.050 :

CRC32: 762C92FA

Could you check it with your file please. Maybe my downloaded patch corrupted.

-----------------------------

I already tried to another computer(my desktop, XP english version).

There is no error message like Error: The specified file: '' could not be found.

I think, the problem is my laptop because bought in Japan, so agreement text can not appear.

 

But there is problem (both in my laptop & desktop), after patch to 2009.050

In Select Battleset menu

South Atlantic - the american

South Africa - Africa

The Middle East - IOPG

 

There is no scenario, just blank! Just three of them above.

How to solve this problem?

 

Thank you in advance

This is correct (no scenarios). We included the battlesets to spur scenario authors to write scenarios for those battlesets. You can find some at http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?a...s&showcat=5 . In some future release of the game we'll include the best of those scenarios (with the scenario author's permission). The game is volunteer supported so the scenarios come from the community.

Where should I put that scenarios? for example South Atlantic's scenarios.

 

By the way, at the link that yo gave to me, there are many scenario. How do I know that scenario is compatible with 2009.050 ?

If you're referring to scenarios that you've downloaded and created yourself on your own computer, you can drop them into the main HCE directory or alternatively create a new directory called 'Scenarios' or some such. Either way works, just make sure you're pointing at the right directory when you try to open a scenario.

 

If you're referring to uploading your own creations, you can put them here.

 

Scenarios available for download here at Harpgamer will usually specify with what version of the GE they are compatible. That said, most any scenario of recent vintage will be completely compatible with 2009.050.
