If your original CD is that old then it is
very likely to be pointing at the old /program files/... installation path.
This is described in the Game Installation section of the Game Guide, which is
right at the start of that document.
To save you having to actually readin the Game Guide (manual):
Quote:
you are running the game under Vista or Windows 7, install the game to a separate Games folder (directory), DO NOT install the game into the Program Files folder (Vista or Windows 7 only. XP and earlier it is OK to install under Program Files). However you will need to remember this new path when installing any patches but be aware that ALL new patches and upgrades default to install to C:\Shrapnel Games\The Camo Workshop\WinSPMBT
This new folder must be outside the “Program Files” hierarchy, in order to avoid Vista and Win7's operating system’s attempts to “manage” the game files in what it considers to be a “system” area.
The simplest way to do this would be to edit the default installation location line the older installer uses by removing \Program files, so change this...
C:\Program Files\Shrapnel Games\The Camo Workshop\WinSPMBT
to this...
C:\Shrapnel Games\The Camo Workshop\WinSPMBT

So - once the original installer path is modified, you should have no problems since all modern patches we have on the page use the proper C:\Shrapnel Games\The Camo Workshop\WinSPMBT path.
(That should really read Vista and onwards, not just VFista and 7 - all "modern" windows versions in other words, post XP)
