Something went very, very wrong with the installation of Chancellorsville.

Game won't run. Keeps crashing. Hopefully we won't get any posts here, but if we do, we'll try to help you out. You can also post any bugs that you find here. IMPORTANT: Don't post mod related problems here!

Something went very, very wrong with the installation of Chancellorsville.

Post by Nudz »

I bought- and downloaded the game from the "Matrix Games"-website, and after installation, I noticed that there was no shortcut in the start-menu or on my desktop. I manually sought out the "NorbSoftDev"-folder, and saw only the following contents:

Three folders named "base", "Docs" and "Mods", respectively.

A file called "Chancellorsville.sow".

Nothing else.

I do not have "Gettysburg" already installed, as I'm under the impression that "Chancellorsville" is a standalone release. Am I correct in assuming this, or do you need to install it onto "Gettysburg"?

Please help. :angry:

The installer detected that, at one time in the past, you had Gettysburg installed and assumed it should install as an expansion.

What you need to do is install Gettysburg first and then install Chancellorsville on top of it, or if you're adventurous, delete all your SOW registry keys and then install Chancellorsville alone.

I deleted all the previous registry keys, and did a clean install. It worked. I can now play "Chancellorsville". Thank you.
