1.5 Patch "Cannot locate the game"

[juStiC3]

hey guys,

i have a legit version of DOW + WA and i'm having problems patching it to 1.5

it throws:

"Patching error: The patching system cannot located the game. Please ensure the game is currently installed on your system"

i disabled my antivirus + firewall programs, i'm not running any mods, i tried installing the patch from the game dir... i'm about to try a full re-install.

anyone else having the same problem?

[LinSys]

Bump. I'm having the same problems too.

I have the Gold Edition, if it matters.

Check the registry (start > run > type "regedit", navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\THQ\Dawn of War\) to make sure that the registry entry which tells the game where its installed is giving the correct information.

[LinSys]

Pardon my ignorance but how do you tell if it is giving the correct information?

[TBS]

Look on your harddrive for the folder listed, it should a) exist and b) contain all the DoW files.

[LinSys]

Well the folder exists, but I just can't seem to get the patch to work. I re-downloaded the "all-in-1" DoW/WA patch but it still doesn't seem to work.

I read somewhere that the problem could be solved by pasting the patch.exe file into the DoW folder. I tried but it's useless :(

Try pasting it into the "patches" folder of your DoW folder.

Thanks for the replies Moe and TBS.

I finally got the patch to work after reinstalling the game like.. twice lol.

To the topic starter:

Just do a full reinstall. It should work just fine.
