Posts from How do I install patch 1.4 if the game is not installed? Auto-translated

Hello everyone. I had a disc with the licensed game, then I lent it to someone, and now the disc is gone. But the game is still installed on my computer, and after reinstalling Windows, the patch says that the game is not installed. I think I need to modify something in the registry. Can you help me?:smile05:

Of course, it needs to be registered! When installing the game (like any other program, except for small ones), it is registered in the registry, and the patch installation program uses this information to determine if the game is installed on the computer and where it is located. And when reinstalling Windows, the registry... In short, give that "someone" a good talking-to and tell them to return the disc. And you'll be happy.

You can try extracting the patch archive and replacing the files manually.
