Patching Stalker under Windows Vista/7?

VipertheSniper · 02-23-11, 09:14 AM

I recommended the Stalker complete 2009 mod to a friend, but he can't patch Stalker to the required version, the patch just won't run. Windows asks if he really wants to open the patch, and then nothing... Did anyone who's running Stalker under Vista/7 similar problems?

Try running the patch as admin.

I probably should've said, he tried running as admin, and in all compatibility modes... so any other suggestions?

To what folder is the game installed? Don't know about the game, but I bet it is the 'Program Files'-protection at work.

How bout the obvious, that the patch didn't download right
