Info: WinSPMBT version 9.1 Upgrade patch ( May 2015)

[Miketee10022]

Wonderful news! Thank you SO much for this new update!

[FASTBOAT TOUGH]

If the fact that my new computer has been staring at me for the last two weeks and my peripherals to support it about a week now and life has gone into "hyperdrive" as we prepare on home improvements...I simply request the following.

Am I really going to gain anything by downloading 9.1 in the current campaigns I have going against the AI with the CD version or can I simply wait until I have a chance to get my Win 8.1 system online?

If I'm really missing out on something, what/where do I need to type in the "/" etc. using XP in the "save to" line for the directory?

Until my new computer is up and running that's just easier for me to do it that way.

Thanks!

Regards,
Pat

Your ongoing campaign will be enhanced by the bug fix to allow crews and passengers to possibly survive bailing from a destroyed vehicle once more. (In 9, there was a bug that always killed them unless the vehicle was in water hexes.)

Thanks that's worth it to me. Do you remember what you had to type into the destination file if you were an XP user after that was changed for Win 8.0 users before you started the download? I had it written down but, can't seem to locate now.

I haven't got a clue what you are on about in "typing stuff into the destination folder".

Just point the installer to wherever you have installed the game, if the path it offers differs from your current installation. using the navigation feature of the installer.

I found it in the "WinSPMBT version 7.0 Upgrade patch" thread (And apparently the warning was in the previous years patch as well about the file path change.) in Post #35 and to either side of it for the "what's going on & how to" posts.
Anyway for us "old fashioned" kind've guys, when asked what directory/file you want the update to go too, follow the highlighted portion below...

"Andy/Don,
My hint of the "right path" in my post was correct. The path that came up was noted in #5 of my post as well. The fix after Andy's answer pointed me to Mobhack from last years patch addressing Win 7 and Vista download file issues. The following has to be inserted for XP (And prior?) before the FINAL STEP in the download process as follows for both WinSPMBT and WinSPWW2...
C:\Program Files\... downloads to both games done started OOB checks for WinSPMBT, new equipment is there. Don't know about game play but if the first two steps are met the rest should be fine as well."

Well look at the bright side after I start up my new system and Win 8.1 and 10 kicks my "donkey" around for awhile I won't be asking this question again (hopefully), here I'll do it for you both thanks again for the third time.

Don that pointing to files stuff, very dangerous, like shooting myself in the foot type dangerous. The only place I'm good at pointing with is my weapon down range (And not at my feet.) and it was another year of expert shooting. Not bad for a guy with only one good eye. If life converges on a range someday I'll already be giving you a "handicap" advantage and we'll shoot for a case of something. Bold I know but, I know you Canadians are pretty good shots.

Even though the build was to my spec, I think I'll stare at my new computer for another week and hopefully by then I'll have convinced it to submit to my will!?! Yeah the "donkeys" coming.

THANKS!
