World Adventures install/update problem

<< < (2/5) > >>

ydunno:
So I worked out what to change in the skuversion text file but it says "access denied".  So "Big Brother" even prevents us from editing the files on our own computers!

J. M. Pescado:
Sounds more like Windoze Vista Fail to me.

ydunno:
It's Windows 7 which is just as bad.

I did find the sku in regedit - it was in HKEY-LOCAL-MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Wow6432Node/Sims/The Sims 3.

Changed that to region 1 to download the latest patch (could only find 1 and 2, not 7).

Went through the installation of the patch, then it said "Update error, Invalid file found".

Replaced the codeversion file that had the error, with the original.

Tried again, same thing.

So I can't even download the latest patch let alone the new expansion pack because of this stupid obsession with being updated.

And like I've said I've followed what others have said when they've had problems with downloading latest patches and the new ep, so am totally at a loss.

ShortyBoo:
Does the new patch have to be installed before WA can be installed? Or can I just install the EP as is? I'm not installing it until AM is updated, but I'm getting files backed up and reading what I can so hopefully nothing goes wrong come time to install WA.

Rockermonkey:
If you don't have 1.6 the game will install it for you(Or that's how it was in my case, and others with the CD version). But I wouldn't recommend installing the update for WA once you do install the game until the patch has been fixed. This is how I'm playing, and I've had no issues, while others with the WA patch are having numerous problems.
