I cant upgrade my version of GPL ( 1.0.0.0 ). I got the message: GPL.exe is not a valid previous versjon and could not be upgraded.

>I cant upgrade my version of GPL ( 1.0.0.0 ). I got the message: >GPL.exe is not a valid previous versjon and could not be upgraded. Did you download the correct GPL 1.2 patch? (Sorry, but I have to ask this <g>) If so, did you ever install a third party add-on? (Carsound, GPL season, etc.) If so, copy the original GPL.EXE from the CD. If you still have this problem, then try a GPL reinstall. (Don't forget to backup your setups, replays and add-ons) Remco
Per Gunnar, I take it you have the same version as I do (UK). I ordered mine from England, and I think the ones sold here in Norway also were UK versions. If this is the case, you cannot possibly get the error message, because the patch is simply a bunch of files that need to be unzipped into the GPL folder! There is no version checking at all with the UK patch, only blind unzipping... This, in turn, should indicate that you have got the wrong version of the patch. Get the UK version, and type in the path to your GPL folder when prompted. It should work like a charm. ---Asgeir--- > I cant upgrade my version of GPL ( 1.0.0.0 ).

You should upgrade first to GPL 1.1 and then apply the 1.2 patch. > I cant upgrade my version of GPL ( 1.0.0.0 ). I got the message: > GPL.exe is not a valid previous versjon and could not be upgraded.

And also make sure it's not tampered with (any patches that is)... Get a fresh copy of the .exe of your CD, put it in the GPL dir, and apply the patch.... Matt

I was under the impression that all of Scandinavia had UK versions ... UK patch is just a zip file that you unzip to \sierra\gpl folder. No need to restore original gpl.exe's. Hena
