Build install problem

Elboreth

Landlubber
Hey everyone.

I'm having a slight problem with "Build 13 Full". When I execute the install, everything goes well and according to plan...until the DOS windows pops up. It tells me it's copying files and moving some of them around, which of course I have no problem with, except that at the end I get this line:

5 File(s) copyed
0 File(s) copyed
File not found -*.*
0 File(s) copyed
Could not find C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Pirates of the caribbean\Program\Dialogs\*.h
The system cannot find the file specified
The system cannot find the file specified
The system cannot find the file specified

I can -in fact- run the game, except that my mate who is supposed to give me the tutorial right at the start of the game doesn't open the converstation. I tried to do that myself but...nothing. So I'm pretty much stuck in my cabin. So if you guys could give me any ideas to solve the problem, whether the DOS part actually copying every file, or simply bypass the tutorial at the start, that would be grand...but something tells me that resolving the former DOS problem is key.

I don't know if anyone else had this problem before either, so I don't know where to look. I appriceate any suggestions or advice in advance.

Firstly your talking about the Runme.bat, which is to be run after installing any Build or update!
This puts the Files where they schould be. If you get a message about could not find file etc. is to tell
you that the file was not there because it had been replaced by the update etc and has no outcome
on the game! Please read the instructions on Pieters site, as it is importend to follow them!!!!!!!!!!
As to your problem with Malcolm, grab yourself Build 13/3, which should fix that. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
 
So this is what I should do: execute the Build 13, then the Build 13/3 update and lastly the RunMe.bat? I think I did a bit of a mess before, so I want to get it right. Or is is first Build 12, then 13, then 13/3? If it is the one for the Build 12.1 it's a broken link, the one in Pieter's page, maybe it's me though and others can actually download it.



Edit: I got it working! ^^ So basically I'll have to install all the builds form 13 to all the updates again if I want to run Build 14 alpha?

Edit #2: Thanks Captain! now everything runs smoothly!(Build 14 as well)

Make sure you read and follow the instruction, or you get messed up again!
Play the game first and enjoy 13/3 before you update again!!!! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sailr.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":sail" border="0" alt="sailr.gif" />
 
Installation order for Build 14 Alpha 6:
1) Build 12.1 (Not required, but might save some trouble. Can't hurt)
2) Build 13 Full (EXE file, be sure to install to the SAME directory as the game)
3) Run RunMe.bat ("The system cannot find the file specified" errors usually mean that the files already ARE in the proper folders and this is nothing to worry about)
4) REMOVE the folder RESOURCE\MODELS\locations\DECKS
5) Build 14 Alpha 6 Full (This file is actually LARGER than Build 13 and should be extracted to the same folder as usual)
6) Run preset.bat and RunMe.bat (Both should be run, even though you already ran RunMe.bat previously)
7) Do NOT install Build 14 Alpha 6 Additional. It is NOT a bugfix. Instead it contains some unstable mods.

Be sure to check if the game is working properly between every step!
