Guess I've Forgotton How to Install OOTP

OldFatGuy · 04-23-2016, 09:13 PM

I purchased OOTP 17 (and FHM2, in the bundle) and then went to downloads, downloaded the game, double-clicked on it like I always do, and nothing. (see screenshot)

What did I do wrong and what's with the funny file name?

It looks like the download did not complete successfully. Try downloading it again.

the file needs an exe at the end, not those numbers. Don't know, but you may need to just go to the latest patch on this site and download that from the link.

Your activation code should work fine with it. Just a guess, but those numbers on the end are certainly not going to work. Hope this helps. Maybe someone with more knowledge will chime in soon and give more specifics to help you. Good luck.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! That worked.

As for the numbers, I dunno, but it assigns that name BEFORE downloading even begins (see screenshot). I thought it was weird when I first saw it, but every time I click on that link to download, it says I'm downloading OOTP17setup.and all those numbers.
