Ok. I've been trying to install for a good 3hrs now. Help :(

Ok. I have tried following these installation guides:
-http://forum.mechlivinglegends.net/index.php/topic,6568.0.html
-http://wiki.mechlivinglegends.net/index.php?title=How_to_Install_MWLL

I downloaded Crysys_Dedicated_Service_Package_v1.4.zip ->> Installed it ->> downloaded MWLL-OpenBeta1-Hotfix1.rar ->> tried extracting to ->> C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis

But I get this error:

Access is denied. Check the write permissions  on your Crysis folder. You might need to remove Read-Only and possibly System, if system is applied. That is your big problem, according to that log.

[shokwavez]

Nice! Took me a while to tinker around with it, but I was able to extract =].

Thanks a lot!

[shokwavez]

Well, now I'm kind of stuck. I'm not really sure which guide to follow at this point.

The wiki guide says I must remove the mwll file?
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis\Mods ) and remove the \mwll\ directory (last MWLL installation)"
 
While this forums guide further down includes the use of Bin32 0r Bin 64 file =/

 Removal of MWLL folder is necessary if you have previous version of MWLL (0.2.X of older) installed or you reinstalling 0.3.X. You can ignore that step if you're doing a first-time installation.

OK..now I get this error trying to install MechWarrior: Living Legends Full 0.3.0:

Where am I supposed to get crisis.exe file??

[Threesan]

Do you have Crysis installed? MWLL is a modification for Crysis (and soon, Crysis Wars); it requires Crysis to be installed. Crysis can't run without crysis.exe.

[shokwavez]

Sorry, I'm new to this. Where do you install Crysis?? All I find are patches to Crysis.

Crysis is a game you have to buy, Either digitally or in a store. link http://eastore.ea.com/store/ea/search/?keywords=Crysis

[shokwavez]

Oh, makes a lot more sense now. So the $24.95 we need to get Crysis is all we have to pay to get the installations going?

[Threesan]

Please note that while MWLL version 0.3 is exclusive to Crysis, MWLL version 0.4 (expected: "soon") will support both "Crysis" and "Crysis Wars". In the future, from either community preference or dev decision, it is possible Crysis Wars will end up the de facto if not actual only supported platform.

Crysis Wars is the standalone multiplayer component that comes with Crysis Warhead. (Though note that if you are getting Crysis Warhead digitally from EA store, be aware that apparently you may have to download it separately.)

Crysis Maximum Edition contains both Crysis, and Crysis Warhead (which includes Crysis Wars).

[shokwavez]

I see, what do you recommend I should get? the Maximum Edition?

[Aidan]

Yes. Get the Maximum Edition.

Also, you might want to wait a week or so, Steam usually has a huge sale this time of year. I think Maximum Edition was $5 or $10 last year.
