version N2 patch prob

7 posts by 5 people · 25 Apr 1997 - 27 Apr 1997

OK,,,when I check the date of my setup program in explorer by viewing with file details it reports a date of 11/25/96...someone earlier said it should be 11/27/96. What's the deal. And if I click on the setup file and a dos box appears it displays setup v1.00 and then goes to the soundcard setup screen...what is the correct version, 1.00 or 1.01?

You need to look at it in DOS or a DOS window. It will show the correct date. Shawn Wise

you need to check it in DOS, as the instructions clearly state. bob
> you need to check it in DOS, as the instructions clearly state. > bob Yeah, thanks Drbob27. And miraculously the dates change between explorer and DOS prompt!! SAME RESULT. I've got a date of 11/25/96 in explorer (and, strangely enough DOS). If anyone who KNOWS something about the subject could help out I'd much appreciate it. TIA Mark Reading, UK BTW: Right clicking on the Sierra Win95 install screen does nothing, left clicking on the logo in the top left of the screen tells me: SETUP.EXE v3.1.0.1 SETUPL.DLL v3.1.0.0

You may have already discovered the answer to your problem, but... The setup file in question is not the SETUP.EXE file in the NASCAR directory, but the one in the SIERRA directory. Double check the one in the root directory of your CD-ROM. This is also the one they are referring to when the talk about the version number being displayed. -- **************************** Michael E.

Ok Michael, you've helped me out a few time in the past - can you deal with this? My sierra setup is dated 4.15.96. I get nothing if I right click on the install screen in Win95. If, however, I left click on the logo in the top left of the screen I get: setup.exe - v3.1.0.1 setupl.dll - v3.1.0.0 Helpful, huh? Know where else I can check for versions? Thanks Mark Reading, UK
