Help!
 

Hey guys,

last night i wanted to patch up my Football Manager 10 1.0 to 1.3. The problem is that the patch file does not open up an installer, it just asks me which program I would like to open the file with. I thought it was just a corrupt file or something, so I downloaded a patch for old CoD2 - and it cannot open that patch either! :down:

Does anyone know what is wrong?

What is the file extension?

It just says "file" when i click "properties" :hmmm:

Edit: Other than that is shows no extension (they are not hidden)

Also is it a boxed version or a Steam d/l?

If it's Steam it should auto-update when you visit the site.

If it's boxed version patch, which site did you get it from?

Where is the patch currently located? If it's on a usb stick or similar it may need moving to desktop.

The patches are d/l'ed from the website of the games i.e callofduty.com and sigames.com - both boxed version.

Both the files are in the folder of the respective games.

:hmmm: You've tried alternate download links?

in any case, it couldn't hurt to rename the file and add ''.exe'' at the end of the filename perhaps then it'll be recognized.
I had this happen sometimes with .rar files.

well slap me and call me Amy! The .exe extension worked!

Thanks Hunter, you made my day a lot better! :salute:

Happens regularly with patches for some reason. Had the same with Minecraft. :doh:
