Seawolves patch? This is the GWX thread and we are currently talking about GWX patch 1.02 - totally unrelated, and it comes in one 76mb file.

IF however, you ARE talking about the core GWX files, then your d/l is corrupt. Did you do the MD5 compare on each file before installing, as strongly recommended? If not, then, well...you can't thank us for it not installing.

You need to d/l (links copied from the GWX homepage):

1. MD5Compare (use to verify integrity of your downloaded files and determine corruption before you run)
http://www.users.on.net/~jscones/sof...cts/jsmd5c.exe

2. GWX MD5 file (for use with MD5Compare or any MD5 programme)
http://files.filefront.com/GWXmd5/;6.../fileinfo.html

Install MD5Compare and load the GWX.md5 file (on the second tab) which you d/l into the SAME folder as the original GWX files. It will tell you if any files are corrupt. If they are, then you need to re-d/l them.

Sorry, but once you start d/l there's nothing we can do about it at our end. You may have better luck asking someone here to send you a copy on DVD, because the longer you are exposed to d/l a file, the more chance it can become corrupt.
