I've had RA 1.40 working in the past, but having just wiped my entire backup HD (long story, NOT happy), I no longer have it.

Could someone walk me through the specifics of this install. I read his (not super clear) directions, and followed them as best I could, but things didn't go well.

Attempt 1: Installed all the new files directly to C:, not the DW folder.

Attempt 2. Manually pulled files from the DWX 142 folder and dumped them into DW 104 folder. Splash screen okay, but the cinimatic doesn't display the Kilo accurately - then crashes.

Attempt 3. Did as A-Granger mentions here, "extracted the .rar into DW directory, then ran install_OPFOR_DWX1_42.bat as Admin.". Debug Assertion Failed C++ library. Then... cmpUtil.exe as stopped working! Yay!

Attempt 4. RA_OPFOR_DWX1_42 folder into DW 104, Install_OPFOR_DWX1_42.BAT file into DW 104. Run Install_OPFOR_DWX1_42.BAT file as admin. Supposedly successful (Lies, I tell you! Lies!). Run DW.exe, in the supposedly patched 104 game... get 104.

So obviously I'm missing something somewhere along the line. Oh, by the way, when it asks during the install about "is this a file or a directory?", what's the correct answer? I've used both, and neither seems to matter.

Sigh. Why do I insist that any game I have must be modded again? (Oh yeah, it's so I can have as close to the game I want rather than the one they think I want.)
