new computer and no upgrade

[mapuc]

I have found a solution to my problem

I'm going use my USB-thing and copy Command Wargame of the year edition 1.11 build xxx from my older compute and paste it into my new computer.

Before I do that I'm going to create a folder with that name and place it in C: Matrix Game/Command......

I hope this can be done.

Just copying a program's folder from your old computer to the new one probably won't work because there are often files installed elsewhere on the system.

Does the game run without installing the updates? If it doesn't then it sounds like the game might not have installed correctly originally from the disc which might be the source of the problem and causing the updates to fail, so uninstalling and reinstalling might help. There is also a guide to installing the prerequisites like .NET 4.5 manually you can find here.

Otherwise if it does work, instead of using the 'check for updates' button on the splash screen which has never been very reliable for Matrix games and is best to avoid using it, try downloading the update with your browser from here. Once you download it, unzip it and then just run the installer.

If none of those suggestion work for you I would suggest heading over the command forums on the matrix website as they have a dedicated tech support section where the devs will be able to help you that you can find here.

NET 4.5 was already installed on my new computer
I clicked on your link but was met by a "page can't be shown"

I have no problem downloading the update, well that is up to 100 % and then I get this error "Something about couldn't get information from the downloading server.( I can see alle these blue dots fill all the (don't know what the technical name this little white rectangular square is called) and I can see the existing time is down to zero, but then after a while this error pop-up.

After installing the original I can play, only the stand-alone-scenarios.

Yes you are correct. After installing everything, and I mean everything from my older computer, I couldn't play.

As mentioned in my first post-Either I have to wait for my cousin to arrive some day, so he can help me or I have to put the game away and only play as it is.

In the back of my head I can't let go of "Its your(mine) McAffee's firewall that cause these problems.

Why I think so ? It's not only Command Update I have problems with even other Updates are giving me a headache

Some new information

Have uninstalled McAfee and installed the free version of Avast.

Earlier today I tried again to download the 1.09 patch-same result got the same message after I have downloaded the whole package(the bar with these blue dots are filled) and then after about a minute this message pop-up.

I even toke a look inside my firewall looking at the incoming and outgoing traffic don't know what I have to look for.

Did you get the upgrade Markus? There is no problem with your computer, the problem is Matrix Games server. I have had problems with updating from the program with just about every game I have from them. Best thing to do is go to Matrix game site, and download them yourself. 1.09 is a big one though, 3.6 GB in size. There are 3 more after that one, but all are under 200 MD.

Sorry for this late reply-didn't notice your answer until some hours ago.

After I had read your answer I almost smacked myself WHY didn't I think of that-make a direct search for "Matrix Games Command Patch 1.09"

I found it downloaded the patch unpacked it and installed it. Tried a scenario(stand alone) no problems.

Then I checked for updates and downloaded 1.11 from the server and installed it without any problems.

Now I can play Command again

Thank you so much for helping me
