LotR:BfME noDVD 1.02 question

[zacqzzz]

My lotrbfme_inst.exe has a problem therefore it dosent run when I click on it. So I get the splash screen, and then after a while, it closes. Well this is what I think. So, can anyone send me their lotrbfme_inst.exe please? Send to zacqzzz********com
Thanks!

It doesn't seem as if it is running. (At least you see nothing pop-up). However if you delete the original LOTRbfme.dat you should see a new one. It is possible that it creates the New file in a directory other than your install directory. I had it that the new one appears in the parent directory of my installation dir. Also check your registry. make sure it contains all the following:

The Version may differ depending on witch update you have installed.

Possible fix: After installing the game (1.0) Copy and edit the above txt and import into you registry. Thereafter install the update and then follow the instructions as in the post Regenerating the DAT file
