Topic: 7.66 Install Problem

[Namtar]

Lol,
Every time I post here I have some strange mysterious problem that needs help ::sigh::

Oh well,
Yesterday night I tried to install 7.66 update on my 7.65 install. Try to activate it, ChaosEmpire.ce missing. Mmm, deinstall CE, d/l full 7.66 reinstall, no go. Deinstall CE and D2, reinstall everything, STILL same problem. Looked at the troubleshooting guide which gives fresh files for 1.11 so I copy those files, re-update to 1.11b, re install CE. And STILL gives me the missing file msg.

I looked at the english forum (not enough time to try to translate german posts) and haven't seen a single comment about ppl having trouble with this installation.

Any ideas ?

P.S. Error only occurs on activation
Postet at: April 02, 2006, 05:54:09 pmWow, trying random things CAN sometimes work. I tried for the nth time to reinstall 7.66 but without glide wrapper (NO idea what that does) and without the orb mod. It worked without a hitch.

Sorry about that,

Nam

This problem i could only understand if you haven´t like in the troubleshooting is written, not deleted the remaining files in your diablo2 folder with the ending *.org and *.ce.

In your case it seems that you don´t had a missing file but some files too much.

I too had a similiar problem. What i ended up doing was cut and paste those files and yes it did take awhile
As DrowElf said *.org & *.ce removed before install would be less time consuming.

the issue is:

if you install a FULL version, you MUST deactivate BEFORE
if you install UPDATE version, you must have an activated version...

Wait I installed for the first time ever. I activate it fine. I even found and deleted the d2 data FILE, there was no FOLDER, and installed it. But if I try to play the english version: Warning
Location: D2Win\Src\D2Comp\cpp, line #3533
Expression: 0

...comes up 8-9 times (I counted) then this come up once: UNHANDLED EXCEPTION:
ACCESS_VIOLATION(c0000005)

(those could be zeros or o's) then d2 shuts down

I had ZERO errors installing and playing english so do this.  Download the FULL version of 7.65 SP3. 

Oh before doing this, if you have errors do a complete reinstall of d2 then install Chaos Empire....

Install and activate SP3.  Then download the patch for 7.66.

As it says in readme folder, install (or copy) the files there into the Diablo II folder.

Override files click YES.

Log in and enjoy.

SP3?

[Darkkatgirl]

Service Pack 3?  Forgot what it stood for it should be in the download section.  It was the update for version 7.65.

[DrowElf]

Actual there is only the fullversion 7.66 for Download.

For your error try to install without the glidewrapper or look in the "Installation FAQ" at my signature. Mostly it depends on a hardware or driver problem.

What he said =^.^=

[ChaosEmpire]

installation of glide wrapper normally should not break, cause you need to select glide in videotest dialog
probably on a clean instal, d2 autoselects it..this could be an explanation

[Namtar]

Blah damnit, I thuoght I had posted a reply to this post O_O

sorry for all the trouble I tried something and it worked. When I was installing the mod I simply removed the Glide thingy (no clue what it does) and the Orb modification. Everything worked fine from then on.

Thanks

@drowelf

You stated: Actual there is only the fullversion 7.66 for Download.

OOPS! First item in download section is:

7.66 update.

Have a nice day
Still the greatest mod

[DrowElf]

Yes that is right but the mentioned Fullversion 7.65 isn´t available.

Next time i will write clearer.

[Crimson_brilliance010]

OK I finally reinstalled D2 and D2X (jesus this was painstaking, " put disc in. put this disc in. no you idiot that disc. no the one your using as a coaster.")

Now what next...
