I have a double gp3 installation. I use one install for testing new add-ons and stuff. How do I patch up my second install? The patch doesn't ask where the gp3 directory is, it just installs and uninstalls...
I'd try renaming the folder of the one you don't want updated. Most likely there is a search string involved in the process. You could also try renaming the GP3.exe before applying the patch and then renaming again after.. Hope that helps "Tim Vanhee" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:5yjK5.11518$[email hidden]...

You might try temporarily renaming your first install directory or the .exe file (gp3.exe ??). The patch should then find your second one. I haven't installed the patch, but I would think this should work. -- Slot www.slottweak.com Tweaks & Reviews Tim Vanhee <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:5yjK5.11518$[email hidden]... > I have a double gp3 installation. > I use one install for testing new add-ons and stuff. > How do I patch up my second install? > The patch doesn't ask where the gp3 directory is, it just installs and > uninstalls... > >

In your registry there should be an entry HKLM/Software/Microprose/ Grand Prix 3/3.00.000/InstallDir/Directory="your game location". Before applying the patch, change "your game location" to the directory you want to upgrade. Jan
