Installing ICR1.02 Patch

I am having problems installing the ICR1.00 -> ICR1.02 patch. After it modifies the drivers2.txt file, I get this error: error ept0036: Old File not found. However, a file of the same name was found. No update done since file contents do not match. Any help would be appreciated. TIA. -- Tim Baity

before you do patch. Running Indycar even once corrupts the drivers2.txt so that the patch does not recognize it. Try this and tell me how it went. Regards, Ray Flores

If someone else hasn't already answered this (my news server is slow) here is what I did after receiving the same problem: Reinstall ICR2 (or better yet, delete and reinstall, realizing that you will lose any settings files, etc). Make sure none of the files are marked read-only (some are, and make sure you check all subdirectories) then install the patch. Good luck. Paul

Thanks, that was it. Much more helpful than the reply I got from sierra's support (run scandisk, make a boot disk, etc.). It was almost the same reply I got when I had trouble with another one of their games. -- Tim Baity

: This patch is only for the DOS version correct?? There are 2 patches for the DOS/Win95/Mac version. One is 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2 and the other fixes an installation problem with the Win95 part. I assume from the patches in the first that it applies to the Win95 part also. Haven't seen any fixes for the Mac version. -- **************************** Michael E.
