*IF* you already have the CD version properly installed on a computer, then
upgrading to V2 will automatically recognize the CD. Just install it and
you're ready to go.

However, if you install V2 first and have the V1 CD, the CD will not be
found automatically. AB needs to be instructed that the CD is present, else
it doesn't know to go check for it. For the V1 CDs, this means that you
need to install the V1 CD *FIRST* on a computer and THEN install V2.

If for some reason the CD is not found on your computer with the V1 CD, the
solution is two steps. Install V1 manually from the CD by running the file
"abldr14?.exe" on the CD. You can use Windows Explorer to do this - just
double-click on the file to launch it. This will cause AB to know about the
CD. Then install V2 over it. There is no need to uninstall anything.

The above should be mentioned in the FAQ within the product. I haven't got
that page up onto the web-site yet - sorry. I'll make it more prominent on
the site.

Thanks, Rob

This weekend. I need some files back from Rob first, but he's a bit tied
up at the moment.

I personally have the CD version, and I didn't have this problem. Are
you sure you waited enough time for the CD to spin up?

Hay,
The problem I had was this. I had the army builder download version
installed on my computer not the cd version. when I installed the new V2
I lost the regcode. I then put the cd (witch I had not installed on my
computer) into the drive and waited till the light went out. I started
the program up and got the did not recognize message. Once I removed the
V2 and install the V1 from the disk it was fine.

The reason I was telling you guys about this is I saw that some of
you are going to get the cd version. They will have to uninstall what
they have to make the cd work.

Thanks for the reply

Wes.

PS Rob colen needs the files OK!!!
