[2.11] Help, I can't start Mercenary: "redbuddybot.oof not found"!
 ------------------------------------------------------------------

 There seem to be a variety of problems with installing Mercenary
 for some people. In some cases it will install fine. In others
 it will install but generate an error when you attempt to run it.

 Three possible solutions:

 1) Uninstall Descent 3, you can save your pilot files and such as
    explained in section [2.13]. Then do a clean install of D3 
    version 1.0 from the CD's. Start the game and configure the 
    video, audio and other options, then install Mercenary. This 
    will work for many.

 2) If the first option does not work try a clean 1.0 installation of
    D3, and patch the game to at least 1.2. Configure the setup in 
    the D3 launcher and after that install Mercenary over it which 
    patches the game to 1.3 in the process (unless you hadn't already
    started from 1.3 certainly).

 3) If all else fails take use this technique: clean up the registry
    and do clean 1.0 installation. Without starting the game install
    Mercenary and the 1.4 patch in a row. After that start the game 
    via the launcher. This contracdicts the previous methods but 
    worked for me.
