New Computer - What files needed?
« on: November 02, 2000, 01:43:00 PM »
Just received my new system yesterday and attempted to transfer all my AH files from the old directories.  Needless to say I first transferred the last download .exe in order to install the program.  I ran the .exe and the installer ran but when I went to the Windows ME start menu to run the file the little flashlight went nuts trying to find the executable.  I looked at the directory and there were only 3 files.  I then transferred all my HTC directories from the old puter and was able to get AH to run offline. What did I do wrong?  What files should I have had?  Will I have problems when I finish this install tonight in order to go online?  Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks
Beeg

Beegrite, you may have executed a update installer and not a full install. If the file name was written such as Ah1045.exe, for example, that is a full install file. If it was named something like AH104T1041.exe then it is a patch or update file and that does not have all the files necessary to run the game, only the ones needed to update the game.

My personal reccomendation is to do a fresh install of the game on the new puter with the full install file. If you don't have the latest version then download it from HTC's download site. You can then transfer your settings folder, sounds folder, and sights folder if you have customized those and would like to use them again.
