Re: SOWGB Patch 1.3

Norb:
I D/L the game file as you asked (1.3).
I attempted to install to C:\. The only two files that were installed to the root are:
SOWGB app which is the validation screen routine.
SOWGB.SOW doc which is the log file.

So, no go.

Re: SOWGB Patch 1.3

Additional note to my earlier: I see that the previously working SOWGB has been made Read Only. Could that be the problem? I have not tinkered with SOWGB in fear of screwing up and having to attempt to re-validate. Thanks.

Re: SOWGB Patch 1.3

Thanks for the ideas, Norb.
The log file has nothing in it.... I posted all of its contents when I asked for assistance above.

I'll try to get another download and use it.... and if necessary, do the install into another folder as you suggested. More later.
