Hi. I bought and installed Doom 3 and RoE. RoE updated Doom to version 1.2. I then ran Doom, and it asked if I wanted to upgrade to version 1.3. I downloaded the 1.3 update, but it says it's already patched to version 1.3 and can't be installed again. The console says version 1.2.1287. A relevant registry entry seems to be HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Id\Doom3, where Version = 1.2. Another is HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\2C8096BF8312E6D4C9FA117DEAC69390, where version = 0x01020000 (16908288). Another is HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\8B7624850BB081D4F9AF27566716E9A9, where Version = 0x01030000 (16973824) - I tried changing that to 0x01020000, but that didn't work either... I can't connect to any servers, and I can't run CDoom (which requires 1.3), so I am pretty sure Doom is definitely at version 1.2 only. I have tried reinstalling on a different drive but it doesn't fix it. Anyone got any ideas? I emailed support@activision.co.uk, but no reply yet. Cheers, Martin.

Get the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301 Check and see if there's still a record of Doom 3 in the installer list. For example my list shows: (All Users) Doom 3 [1.00.0000] (All Users) Doom 3 [1.2] (All Users) Doom 3 [1.3] (All Users) Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil [1.0] Remove the Doom 3 entries. That should fix your problem, then I'd follow rms's suggestion and install Doom 3 then patch it to 1.3 before installing ROE. -- "I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong" Richard P.

That fixed it. Just deleted the (All Users) Doom 3 [1.3] item, and I was able to complete the update. Well batted that man! Cheers, Martin.
