I can't really offer much in the way of suggestions, except to try downloading the FW update from the web (from CivFanatics I think) and installing from that into the directory you installed Civ 2.42 in. That worked for me. Plus, I would say (though some might contradict me) that there's nothing unethical in downloading the update if you already paid for it.

Also, I am running in Win98 - what are you using?

Greetings,

I am having great difficulty here, and I hope someone can help me. I've been trying to play Captain Nemo's Second Front properly in FW for a great while.


A long long tima ago I bought FW off eBay for $4 US.
Little did I know, you need the original CivII to apply the FW to, as it is an add on rather than a stand alone type thing. So I put it away and didnt touch it.

Then I found CivII on sale for $10, so I immediatly bought it. I have installed that no problem, but when I try to install my FW, I get some strange error, and the installation aborts.

Perhaps I got sold a bunk copy of FW, but I don't know. It was shrink wrapped and looked good to me.

I cannot take a screenie of the error because the pc locks up untill you close the error window. It happens when I click ok when the game points to the default CivII installation directory. The error itself refers to 'Inist30' whatever that is.

Is their something I can do? Is their anything any of you can do?

I shall post this here to reveal that I actually have the cd...

If anyone can offer an idea, it would be much appriciated.
