CC3Patch5 and Vista - Install not found error

Hey folks,

I did some searching but did not find any thing on this, perhaps this forum is yet too new.

I've had to reinstall my CC3 on a new Vista box and although CC3 opens and seems to run OK, when I try to install the CC3Patch5 the patch errors out saying that it cannot find that I've installed CC3 and to install it.

Anyone else seen this error and/or do you know how to resolve it?

Reinstall CC3? and then try patch again?

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Romdryl - a.k.a. Mike

    Make sure you install the patch with the same user as you installed CC3 with. Vista can be a bit fuzzy on what users you are actually using when.
    Usually, both CC3 and the patch should be installed by right-clicking on the installation executable, and selecting "run as administrator".

    Also there are some info in the PF Vista FAQ section. Not for the patch, but general installation advise.

    Thanks Monsen,

    I uninstalled CC3 and re-installed it using Run as Admin. Then turned around and immediately tried the patch using the same install step, and go the same error.

    I happened to notice that it said to also *run* CC3, which I did, and attempted to create a new map. Although the system crashed, it was enough to kick it loose and allow the patch to complete.

    So it seems the issue here is that I didn't take enough steps within the program to allow it to be recognized as installed.

    Problems solved now though.

    Thanks,
