Installion quandry
While waiting for support to reply, I thought I would post this error here in case anyone else ran across it. I am unable to install the CD3.
As a reply they sent me to a different patch here is my reply:
This will not work because it needs CD3 installed. CD3 will not install because of the reasons mentioned below. The CD3 installation fails completely on any error. Since this happens, a patch cannot be installed because the CD3 must be installed first.
HERE ARE 2 SCREESHOTS:

at first glance it looks as though it cannot make any direcotories, yet i run this in admin mode and that should not be a prob.
any one else want to take a stab at that?
Thank you in advance
Kind Regards

for those of you who think installing a patch 6 or 7 see the image below - CD 3 IS NOT INSTALLED.

Im trying to find out why CD3 will not install.
btw - i have NET 3.5
thank you very much for you attempt - it gave me a reason to upgrade from .NET v2 to .NET v3.5

It says there are several versions of .NET and version 1 is not the same as 2 or 3. So you need 1.1 I think. Version 3.5 is not an upgrade of 1.1!
You can download version 1.1 from that page as well.
edit: checked it out - errors out installed v1.1 (actually errors out on all 3 installs)
Im starting to believe this is a 64bit compatability
CD3 gets to the c:\foldername\bitmap\wooden
the errors out.
I noticed im getting links from the support of CC3 patch 7 instead of CD3 is CC3 and CD3 the same?
its getting the directory installtion (registration and other procedures seem to be passing).
From the error message from patch 7, it seems that CC3 is not installed properly (Which MUST be installed BEFORE CD3). You should reinstall CC3, run it once for good measure, then install Patch 7 (and patch 7 only requiers CC3, not CD3, but it will upgrade CD3 as well IF it is installed), then install CD3. I think you need to reinstall patch 7 again at the end, since by following this procedure, CD3 gets installed after the patch, and still needs updating.
It seems like the main problem here is related to your original CC3 install (I assume you did install it), so I don't think this is a .net issue at all.
thats the prob - i bought CD3 there was no mention (that i remember) that i had to purchase CC3 as well.
That is prob the whole problem.
So I need to purchace CC3 first???
CD3 is only an addon for CC3, as described on the product page. (You can also look at the system requirements (Bottom of page), CC3 is listed there as a requirement). Basically, almost all of ProFantasy's products requires CC3, with some exceptions)
You can use it without CC3, but that means you only get the artwork, which you can use in other programs, but in that case, you don't get any map-making software, only the artwork itself. If this is what you want, you should select the appropriate "Artwork Only" option in the installer when you select components to install. In this case, no patches will be needed at all.
