Ah that would explain why I dont know of it. It might be good to find it just in case the folks here want to use it.

Here you go:

Update KB2918614 is the culprit. Uninstall it, and the game should install just fine. Don't forget to apply the update again later.

This fix should also apply to other older games using that specific version of the Windows Installer.

Ta very much!

In my game folder there are 10 of these filee, from 1.0 till 1.9. Maybe you can try to edit the file. Just use the normal Notepad editor. My 1.9 SkuDef file has entries for all subfolders and a version number after that, e.g.

set-exe RetailExe\1.9\cnc3game.dat

add-config Core\1.9\config.txt

and others. Try to change 1.9 to 1.0 or any other version you want to play. But look in the subfolders to see if files for the different versions exists. E.g. Movie subfoldes has only 1.0, because movies were never updated with the patches.

Maybe they removed this restriction in later releases (Steam, Origin). But my Retail Kane Wrath want Tiberium Wars installed.

I confirm and double that statement. My retail kane wrath needs 3, TOO!

Hmm... When I boot up the game, it still says version 1.09, but that may just be because the file is still 1.9. I'll have to try and play through it again sometime. Whether it works or not, I appreciate the effort.

This thread got me wanting to play again but when I start I get "Exception in the exception Handler". I looked for help on line but they either don't give me an answers or only offer them for computer geniuses. :P

im chatting you right now. :P

Yeah I know but I thought the more ideas the better my chances. :P

I was letting you know cause you hadn't replied numpty. :P

World-class programming right there.

And that seems to have changed nothing; I still have it to where I can't build defensive structures from cranes- which is really annoying in the Nod Washington D.C. mission because they assume you CAN build defensive structures from cranes in that mission, and instead you have to pay 3500 just to get an MCV out just so you can use your defensive structures.

EDIT: After some more searching and playing around, I can officially confirm that old patch data is not actually included in the Origin version. I'm going to go pirate the game now even though I already own it. Digital Distribution: Ensuring piracy will no merely be justified, but required.
