I have a licensed copy of Heroes 5 in Russian. I downloaded "Hammers of Fate," created an image, and when I start the installation, an error message pops up saying that the original version is not installed, even though it is. Please help!

Perhaps it's a version for the Lords of the North, a cracked version, or an English version. Alternatively, you could use another Heroes of Might and Magic V installation or borrow the registry entries (I think you understand which ones) from someone else.

Where is the guarantee that the downloaded "Hammers of Fate" is not a pirated copy?

Thank you! The "Hammers of Fate" version is in English... but is it possible to change the base game version from Russian to English, perhaps using a patch?

I have no idea. I suggest copying part of the registry with hero records from someone else (DANGER! If you copy the entire registry and put it on another computer, there is almost a 100% chance of having to reinstall the system).

I haven't found anywhere an option to change the language version of Heroes, and regarding installing the add-on, see the topic at /topic/1364/

There isn't such a thing in principle; it's hard to imagine! After all, you would have to change the dialogue and text files... which is half of all the files.... Install either the English version of both parts or the Russian one.... The registry has nothing to do with it here. It only contains records about the game, and since the English version searches for English records, it's not surprising that it doesn't find them!

Regarding changing language versions, that wasn't my idea. And games that rely on the registry are, in my opinion, just an unnecessary headache.
The best option is to install licensed versions of both the game and the expansion. All the patches will be applied accordingly.

That's exactly what I wanted to say....
This will reduce problems and speed up the whole process... Besides, the game isn't that expensive!
