Sorry but it has been a long while since I last logged in. Many years ago I had a MAC that I partitioned so that I could run Windows XP and play the games. However I have recently purchased a new MAC and wondered whether I could just use a Windows emulator instead of partitioning the new internal hard drive and purchasing an outdated version of Windows XP/2000/Vista?
Back in the 70's I got started with the old AH board games - primarily Operation Cobra and D-Day. I had quite a few but couldn't find anyone to play. One - I don't remember the exact name - but was modeled after Operation Barbarossa was 4ft x 10ft with over 1,000 counters on the 6 maps. Would have taken weeks to play!! My first computer game was SSI's Tigers in the Snow then Silent Service. Played on an Apple 2E/2C.
Like many others the Close Combat series has been my true love since getting the first one. I want to thank all of the developers for their MODs - has kept the game alive and well.
I hope that this is THE email string to end my problems. I have read through the string and consulted the link provided above. As previously mentioned: Vista 64 bit OS. Installed CCV and Patch using default directory - i.e. Program Files (x86). Config Manager V1.3 won't install any mods. I receive an error message similar to that above "Failed to copy C:\Program Files\SSI\Close Combat Invasion Normandy\CC5.exe to System\Original\CC5.exe because …. Does not exist". I then followed the instructions for changing the registry (changed from Program Files (x86) to Program Files) and still got the same error message.
I have done the brutal method - just moving the entire SSI folder to the Program Files folder with some success. I got the mod to install but got an error message part of the way through - missing a specific battle.
Any suggestions to getting the Config Manager to work without resorting to the moving of the folder?
In August of 2004, Zappi, Homba, Bambam887, RedScorpion and MOOXE all pitched
in to create this Close Combat site. I would to thank all the people who have visited
and found this site to thier liking. I hope you had time to check out some
of the great Close Combat mods and our forums. I'd also like to thank
all the members of our volunteer staff that have helped over
the years, and all our users that contributed to this site!
