Is that copied & pasted? It's not complete.

How many times have you tried this? I know it's not a proper fix but many have said to keep trying and it'll eventually work.

I don't suppose there's any chance of rolling back to XP?:rotfl:

it was copied from the message box and yes its incomplete as thats all it was showing me.

lol no not now I actually like Vista as its pretty fast compared to XP. just some things dont work as usual with microsoft poop

Ok, give it some time to see if anyone comes into this thread to help but also, post your woes in the sticky. It's more likely to attract Vista users that way.

I wish you the best and hope to see you on the high seas soon.

Hi and welcome englando

Have you tried right clicking the 1.4b patch .exe file and then click at "run as administrator" to run it?
It seems as Vista is not giving the patch file write rights as it runs but cannot write the updated files to your Sh3 directory. Running the patch as admin should cure that problem

well I was having the same problems until I tried this, so far its loaded the 1.4b update and recognised it and its now loading the GWX mod too so fingers crossed this has solved it. who would think something as small as this would stop you from updating game files etc. Im the only admin on my pc as im the only user so you would assume it would auto run as admin but it doesnt so for future reference for vista users right click and run as admin.

ill say my thanks once its working lol

ok its completed so here goes im gonna load it and see fi all works well. fingers crossed. brb with verdict
