Where was your old game installed?

If it was an old release, for XP then it probably was installed under /program files. That won't work with the modern installs which use a folder outside of /program files because windows post XP will bork any attempt to install patches to the correct folder

You should zip up the SP folder on the old PC and install it to the modern install folder, which is given to you in the game installation section of the game help.

C:\Shrapnel Games\The Camo Workshop\winSPWW2

or

C:\Shrapnel Games\The Camo Workshop\winSPMBT
for t'other game

Simply create the folder C:\Shrapnel Games\The Camo Workshop on your hard drive and then unzip the old zipped-up copy there into the appropriate sub-folder using whatever your zipfile programs instruction is to put it into a sub-folder of the name of the archive.

You will need to create your own shortcuts to the game launcher etc in that case, as the installer was not run to create the start folder. Right click op the appropriate exe, select create shortcut, drag to the desktop or wherever you want it, and rename it if required.

The alternative is to install as fresh. In your case, check the main installer programme and see if it has the /program files/ part in the install path it shows - edit out the /program files/ part of the path or simply copy the correct path I showed above, and paste it in there. Then run the patches off the main website (not any old ones you may have laying about on your old PC) as the new ones are all set up to use the new path, not the obsolete one with /program files/ in thereh.

C:\Shrapnel Games\The Camo Workshop\winSPWW2 is used so that windows does not mangle the file handling, which it will do if the game is put in the program files hierarchy (It also works for other older softwares which predate Vista, I have made older games and programming suites work by installing them outside of /program files/ - it's not just our games that get borked by "modern" Windows!)
