Can't install updates...

LadieStorm

I just purchased my brand new laptop today! No more having to confiscate my sons' laptops to be able to go somewhere with wi Fi!

Here's my problem. I got the computer home, and started transferring all of my files and stuff over to my new laptop, including cc3+. That install went just fine. But when I tried to install the latest update, once again the update can't find my cc3+, even when I give it a direct path to it. I have my hidden files shown, and I ran both as administrator, and the update still can't find the program.

Any suggestions, ideas?

Oh, running now in Windows 10

Did you turn off the antivirus, as well? I found that helped when I was reinstalling onto Win 10.

LadieStorm

No, didn't think to do that... This antivirus is supposed to be non intrusive. Besides, the problem is that the update can't find the program. I had this exact same problem before, with my younger son's computer... And he doesn't have a virus protection, because we don't have internet at home.

Hmmm...

If I have to, I'll email tech support... I was mainly hoping someone had a quick fix.

I saw on the support page how to get add ons to find cc3. Will that work for cc3+ with the updates as well? And will it work with Windows 10? I ask, because I tried to install cc3+ on my brand new laptop. Cc3+ installed, but neither the update, nor cd3 or dd3 will. None of them can find cc3+ on my laptop.

Did you run CC3+ at least once after installing it? It sets up a few registry settings on each run, like the path, which may help subsequent installers find it.
Do you make sure to run the CC3+ versions of the CD3/DD3/Update installers? The CC3 versions will definately fail.

Posted By: LadieStormWill that work for cc3+ with the updates as well?

Yes, just note that the registry path is slightly different, when it refers to CampaignCartographer3, you should use CampaignCartographer3Plus instead.

LadieStorm

Right... I knew that last part... But no, I never opened cc3+ first. I will try that in the morning.

thanks Monsen... that seems to have worked . Installing everything now... this is going to be a fun process... reinstalling the csuac and all of Vintyri's wonderful collections
