You may have installed some pach that altered your gpl.exe file. Try copying the original file from the cd before you you run the 1.2 pach. -Bjorn "Ice D" <[email hidden]> skrev i meddelandet news:8ao148$o44$[email hidden]... > I borrowed a used copy of GPL (an original, not a back up), and it seemsto > be the USA version (gpl.exe=> properties/version/language= English (United > States).

I borrowed a used copy of GPL (an original, not a back up), and it seems to be the USA version (gpl.exe=> properties/version/language= English (United States). When I try to patch it with the USA 1.2 patch (gpl12_us.exe), I get the following error: 'The file GPL.exe is not a valid previous version, and could not be upgraded' The 1.2 Read Me tells me that it upgrades from version 1.1.0.3, although according to Papy the 1.2 patch should also upgrade version 1.0. I want to try upgrading to 1.1.0.3, but I can't find this patch (http://www.the-fastlane.com/patches.shtml has it, but the link is broken). Doe anyone recognize what the problem is? Could it be a bad CDrom? Thanks, Ice D

No, it turned out I have the UK version after all, despite the language tab, which said: 'English (United States)'. Ice D
