Anybody able to get this patch to run? I downloaded it tonight but when I tried to run it, I got a message saying, "This program must be run under Win32". ???

Tonight there's a new .zip file on The Pits for the version 1.01 update and it works. BUT, it's supposed to fix a problem with the mirror and now the mirror is "see-through". The rear view is below the mirror. Jim

From The Pits news page: "NOTE If you have used any of the 'directory' tools out on the 'net to NASCAR, this patch WILL NOT WORK! You'll have to move everything back to patch it." *** Tim Wortman *** NASS '98 Series Director *** NASS '98 Homepage *** www.nasscar.com/n2.html Unsubscribe from any NASS98 list at www.nasscar.com/maillist.html

There's something buggy with the .EXE file they have posted. I can't get it to run either, nor could a friend I had download and try it. Neither one of us has one that won't run. I assume this is a self-extracting archive. Is there an alternate site that has an earlier version that extracts, or can extracts? I'm wanting to run an offline series based on this patch if its as good as it looks, but so far I'm underwhelmed with the self-extracting archive choice. -- Bill Benedict III | Lego_90 - Vision Motorsports Computer Programmer/Analyst | #90 LEGO Pontiac -- HAL, OSCAR, CARS Rose-Hulman Inst. of Tech. | http://www.rose-hulman.edu/~benedict Terre Haute, IN | You = do() ? damned : damned;

and apparently can't seem to bring themselves to make a zip file, but they did set me on the track to a solution: 20 Aug - Note for Win32 errors... The author of our setup program we use emailed me back about the errors...he's never heard of anyone having these errors, and I know many people have downloaded it without any problems. However, he mentioned that this error is common with corrupted files. So, my guess is that some of you are having your download cut short, therefore having problems with the file. Two ways to fix that...first, go to Getright, and get right! This program will make sure that your downloads do not get corrupted, and if the transfer fails in the middle, it will restart the transfer to make sure it comes out ok. Second, when you download, compare your file (right click on the file, go to "properties") and check to make sure that your file sizes compare Here's what I found out. The problem seems to be connected with Netscape downloading the .EXE file. Any time I downloaded the file with Netscape it was 2189699 bytes, *larger* than the actual file. When I tried downloading it with Internet Explorer it came down fine, and in the right size. I've never had problems with Netscape downloading .EXE files before, but there's always a first time. So if you're having troubles, use Internet Explorer to download the file, or fill ThePits' inbox with mail until they put up a zip file :) -- Bill Benedict III | Lego_90 - Vision Motorsports Computer Programmer/Analyst | #90 LEGO Pontiac -- HAL, OSCAR, CARS Rose-Hulman Inst. of Tech. | http://www.rose-hulman.edu/~benedict Terre Haute, IN | You = do() ? damned : damned;
