Doom 3 and expansion pack

[vr4ust]

hey all i got the doom3 expansion pack and when i go to install it it says that it cannot determine the current version of my doom3 installation any ideas?

Okay. A lot of factors here determine the problem.

1) Are you using Linux or Windows x86 or Windows 64-bit?

These are the likely problems:

1) You have to Update your Video Card Drivers to the latest version.
2) You are installing to 64-bit Windows:

Copy the ROE contents to your HDD
Replace the .MSI file with this one: http://www.planetamd64.com/index.php?automodule=downloads&showfile=148
Install from HDD


You can also edit the MSI file by hand if you know how to use orca:
Copy the msi file to the hard disk -Open ORCA
Open the msi file & Browse down to "LaunchCondition" in the left panel.
Right Click and select Drop Table Save the file

Also just to be sure: ROE CAN NOT BE INSTALLED WITHOUT DOOM3.

Do you have original doom3 installed?

[vr4ust]

yea i do have original doom3 installed and it says the same error if i try to install patches, its running off a fixed .exe

[Grumpy]

@vr4ust
its running off a fixed .exe
Then put the original exe back! Dont use a cracked exe if you want to install patches or expansions.

With problems unrelated to cracks, contact the publisher. (Also, you can monitor file and registry access with FileMon and Regmon, see http://www.sysinternals.com .)
