Problems with a fresh install and latest patch

Thu Aug 10, 2017 4:52 pm

I had posted the message below in the patch thread... I understand that I'm not alone having this problem

'Setup has detected that you already have 104.5 for Pride of Nations on your system click next only if you wish to reinstall 1.045 for Pride of Nations. Please note that if your original installer was created after this update installer, your serial number may not work with this update.'

I had already installed the update on the game but I suspected that I had some corrupt files, so I deleted the game and made a fresh install. However now I can't proceed as the serial number on the box is not accepted by the game. What should I do?

Thanks in advance!

Me too.

I have a DVD - "Military Strategies II" with PON on it.

First attempt did the update but it wouldn't work - flashing screens and freeze on selecting a scenario.

So, I uninstalled, and now it won't accept the serial number from the DVD .

I'd suggest open a formal request with Matrix - at: http://www.matrixgames.com/support/

they are good at resolving these legacy problems but it may need them to change your keys or whatever.

I had this with AJE and they sorted it out really quickly
