Hello guys,
I downloaded the 1.2 cuymulative update over a 1.02 version that was working perfectluy well.From that point on when I start the game I get the following message: "UnitData model name ai_do_217_e5_6nnp already used",and when I press ok the game shut's down .
So any idea how to correct this whitout doing a new instal ?

Here you go Z

http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?autocom=downloads&showcat=10

Grab the 1.0 and 1.2. Before you install you have to make sure to delete ETO folders in three locations "My Documents", "C:\programfiles\microsoftgames" and C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft

To see the last one you need to have show hidden file enabled in tools\folderoptions\view. Make sure show hidden files and folders is checked.

When you install ETO run it in era1 before you install the 1.2 update.

Good luck man

WHEN I HAD DL ABOUT 20% OF THE ETO 1.O FROM THE ABOVE SIGHT THE DL WAS STOPPED AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS DL WAS CURRUPT AND THAT MY NORTAN ANTI VIRUS HAD BLOCKED A VIRUS.
THANKS ANYWAYS FOR THE HELP
CFS3 IS GOOD ENOUGH

Hmmmm well now Zara not sure what to say....I just tested the download. It came in at a solid 715KB\sec 18 min download no errors. I have a corporate version of Symantec AV installed and it reported nothing unusual. I can safely say that the virus hit you got was a false hit. There is no virus in ETO 1.0.

That being said can you try to temp disable your AV for the download and try it again. See how it goes. I hope you don't give up on it. It's nice to have you a part of ETO mission nights. If you can't get the download to work let me know and we will see what we can work out.

Good luck

theres no problem dl the zip file . its when i extract the zip file.
will only send the extracted file to desktop only.then at about 20% i get the corrupt meesage. my anxiety level is going through the roof on this one!
$%#%$%$%$%$#$$%# computers!

 

[danimalhanke]

i had similar problems

zara, disable your av software just to download from oz site. save them to someplace other than your desktop. when done then try to unzip. if that doesn't work try another unzip program. r u using winzip, winrar etc? i've always had the best luck with winzip. i to had a problem with the download from OZ site but on 2nd attempt it was ok. from there is was a piece of cake. btw wat is ur OS?

hmmm, so when you download the zip there is not a problem its when you unpack? ... and is this from the links from that download site .... then there is one thing i can think of right now try to get a nother rar unpacker or zip unpacker and try it again uninstall the one you have now first before you do that and see what happens

Eto install

I have a functional MAW, DPC-KOREA , OFF, CFS3. My PTO needs work as it will freeze for as yet known reasons when selecting a mission. Yet ETO is driving me mad in terms of reinstalling.

I discovered the 2009 updates and decided to clear out my October-November 2008 setup for a new generation. The MS Games Directory was emptied of ETO and any other location found was also deleted. Yet when I download 1.0 the automatic installer will run its setup routine, but end without setting up (file unpacking) a new directory to permit an initiatization run or progress to version 1.2.

How can I proceed to obtain a new installation of a complete ETO?

normaly there is a file in ETO called CFS3 ETO Expansion ORIFs Re-Install Rev 1.0.exe that when your install is corrupted after you forgot to swap the files, but i had to start over by my self, did something wrong, i couldt track where the mistake was so reindtalled everything over but i gonna take a pauze.

If you want a clean install of ETO and wana make sure that it is clean first delete your CFS3 ETO Expension folders in documents and settings under the my documents then the ones under
C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USER NAME\Application Data\Microsoft
and then delete the main program files microsoft games CFS3 ETO Expansion restart and begin isnstalling over by a clean vanilla CFS3 install thats the advice they gave me when it gows bad

Now Flying

I had thought MAW was a difficult installation through v1.31. The "new" ETO surpassed its adventures in computer patience. I had ETO from last November as encouraged by MAW members . No problems at that time. Yet as my OS died, was restored and migrated from SP2 to SP3, things became more complicated .
I had early problems with ETO 1.0 due to a cockpit error where I failed to note the option selection on the installer. Without checking the continue message, the installation ended abruptly without an installation. My third attempt discovered this "oversight"and success was achieved. But...
I installed v1.20 without hitch, loaded and launched the initialization run at Level 1 (1936), flew a plane to secure the initialization setup and then moved to step 3 or Firepower.
While I already have v1.08 of Firepower in CFS3 and the ETO v1.0 setup did copy those files, I proceeded with the Firepower ETO patch. After a system reboot, a selection of Level 1, the program went immediately on two attempts to a CTD following the introductory CFS3 video.
Recopying, no clean "do over", v1.0 and v1.2, the program now launches and checks out to Level 3 (1943)
In the end I still have reports on launch of SDK violations due to a marginally constructed plane imported into CFS3 at some time, a wandering DPC Korea F51, "gun" and "searchlight" files already in use. These I can bypass. I did have to eliminate the Tempest MkV as it caused a freeze following the CFS3 video. Moving this plane folder from Aircraft eliminated this problem. Annoyances aside, the program now functions, without the Firepower patch. Now comes the careful addition of planes, Spawns, Missions that will not lead to another file conflict or program breakdown in a fragile program setup. At least I now know that tenacity, sometime brute force recopy in lieu of "clean copy" can eventually restore functionality.
