[Vanilla] Problems patching to 1.2
« on: February 15, 2011, 04:20:52 PM »
Hi, I have problems patching my game to version 1.2(1.21), with the patch refusing to install.
The patch was downloaded from fileplanet.com.
My game is Crysis (EA Classics edition).
My operatng system is Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3.

The following error message appears when trying to run the patch (1.0/1.1->1.2):
Code: [Select]
Windows Installer Installation Wrapper
This platform can not support the version of Windows Installer you are attempting to install.
Any ideas?
Patch 1.1 gave me no problems, btw.

 Win7, right? Try running patch in WinXP compatibility mode.

That could be a bit difficult.
Have you tried running the vc redist that comes with the 04x versions? It should be in the bin32crysis folder, or the bin32 folder.
..\Crysis\Mods\mwll\bin32 for example.

 Ops, my bad. In that case that is kinda strange... Could you check what version of MS Installer do you have?

with the extremely low amount of people playing Vanilla versus Wars, I'd suggest just ditching vanilla if you continue to have no luck with the patch and picking up Crysis Warhead and join everyone on Wars

You do not need Patch 1.1 to install Patch 1.2, neither can you update Patch 1.1 with Hotfix 1.21.

Please install these files from CryMod, you may have downloaded a flawed installer:
Crysis Patch 1.2
Crysis Hotfix 1.21
These does work on Windows XP SP3 Windows Installer 3.1.

As noted by CapperDeluxe the amount of Players on Crysis is very low and the suggestion to switch to Crysis Wars should be followed, this, however, needs to be patched to Crysis Wars Patch 1.5.

Looks like you were right, thanks. ^_^
