View Full Version : Dark Crusade installation confusion

When I originally installed Dark Crusade I remember at some point it asked me for my CD keys from Dawn of War and Winter Assault to unlock those races for online play. this went nice and smooth on my old computer. DoW and WA were both installed at the time.

Now on my new gaming machine I've installed Dark Crusade by itself, not wanting to go through the hassle of putting the other two games back on as DC is what I wanted to play. This time it never asked me for my keys from the other two games.

It's looking like I'm going to install everything to fully unlock Dark Crusade, but if there's a way I can avoid this and just enter my cd keys that would be awesome! If I can't do this, can I install DoW and WA after the fact or should I uninstall DC first and start from scratch?

Basicly, what's the minimum amount of work I hafta do to get Dark Crusade fully operational? Thanks!

I'm not sure if that's less work than reinstalling everything or not, but thanks for the quick reply :)

You could check your Windows registry to see if the DoW and WA keys are still there. If so, you'll only need the respective EXE files, which shouldn't take too much time/effort. :)
