The DVD patch gives me the same error the GWX mod gives me, so it looks like its not gonna work with the digital download version either, you have to use the digital download version 1.4b patch. Why in gods name did they make a different version for digital download in the first place?! ARGH!!

This is another reason why we need a non-exe install option. With an automated install it will kick it back for anyone I bet who has the digital version.

One of the errors you get when trying to install the DVD patch is MissionEngine.dll error. Also the SHIII.dll. If you delete them to install it says it cannot find them. So it want work like the other patches to delete these.

If the installer did not work on the digital version, wouldn't you expect a few others to have problems too? Seems strange that it is only you that is having this problem...:hmm:

Perhaps if you post the error log that the installer created, we may be able to help more?

I assume that you confirmed that your d/l GWX files are not corrupted?

It worked with the DVD version I went out and bought lastnight. Had the same issue with the last version of GW, but all is good now. I want be buying anymore downloadable games until they start making them the same file versions as the disk. Not sure if that was my issue or not. But after a clean install and patched to 1.4b on the digital version and making sure the files ( all of them ) were removed from the previous install. GWX still would not install. It was not a corrupted download of GWX, because it installed fine on the DVD version with no problems.
Speaking of which.....GOOD DANG JOB GUYS!

Thanks to the GWX Team and special thanks to JScones and Danlisa for there help.

Currently attempted to give those British Destroyers who are hounding me the slip after I sunk 5 of there Pyro Cargo Ships. Creeping away at 145 meters and screws turning for 2 knots, very slowly. There depth charges are still way above me, but that could change at anytime. They know I'm here, just not how deep I am.
