New ETO 1.0 and 1.2 installation guide

One thing occurs from your earlier post - are you filling in the install path as

C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Games\ etc
or as
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\ etc.

The difference is not obvious, but there should be a single space between Files and (x86). This would make a big difference between the Era swapper working and failing completely.

Hope this helps. :wavey:
 
I downloaded the 1.20 update and unzipped the file. When I attempt to run the
program CFS3 ETO Expansion Cumalative Update Rev 1.20.exe
I do not get the window shown in the installation guide, but a much smaller window that states:

OZx2Gp will download CFS3 ETO Expansion Cumulative Update 1.20 to your computer.
Click the File button to change where to save the file on your computer, or Next to continue.

The default in the Save To window is:
My Documents\CFS3_ETO_Expansion_Cumulative_Update_1.20.zip

What do you think I should do?
 
Download and save the .zip file to the location that you archive your add on files. Next unzip the zip file and then install per the installation guide.

Thanks for the reply rbp. What you have here is exactly what I am doing, but the window that pops up is not the one shown in the installation guide. The window that does pop up is labeled "Save To -- OZx2Go". I have tried re-downloading the zip file from the website and re-doing the un-zip several times with the same result.
 
Let me see if I can explain and walk you through the sequence.

When you download from OZ you are 1st downloading ETO_CFS3_120.zip which is a download helper/manager. You unzip that and then have ETO CFS3 120 OZx2Go OZx.exe. Make sure you are 1st connected to the internet and then doubleclick to start the download of the actual 1.20 update named CFS3_ETO_Expansion_Cumulative_Update 1.20.zip. Save this file to the location of your archived addons. Unzip/extract via winzip or by right clicking the file and then follow the directions of the install package by doubleclicking the CFS3_ETO_Expansion_Cumulative_Update 1.20.exe

Hope that helps
Bob

It's still there, in the Add-Ons Archive under CFS3 Other.
and you can't install on top of a Firepower install, but the guide will tell you how to preserve an existing modded install. Then install ETO to a vanilla CFS3.1a, as the guide will explain.
 
thank you, i had not relaized there were several sections to the library .... got it, thanks a lot and thanks to the makers and the team who made ETO....

ok, i will study about making the multiple installs, i had not wanted to lose the heavies but i guess maybe there were some added by ETO? hope so.

thanks again

cheers
 
many thanks!!!!

the detail was fantastic and I finally have an ETO without flaws and hitches....which I've had for years. Took the plunge and started anew with this guide and all worked perfectly ......thank you many times!!!!
 
Can someone please give me the exact link or locatoin of the install guide? the new library system is VERY hard to navigate and i have been trying wihtout success to find the proper CFS3 Utilities section...

any help much appreciated. I finaly got CFS3 loaded and updated as required to load ETO, just toook buying a new comptuer
 
OK Hairy thanks i found it
installing now.
thanks again for the great guide, it is a bit complex but all is going well. :salute:
 
ETO CRD!!!????

Hello, and especially to Mr. Grizzly. Help is needed to repair (once again) my ETO installation

1)Last weekend, I ran through the setups of ETO, PTO, MAW and DPC Korea to ensure that all was functional. After two weeks approximate, the installations go stale, sometimes find new problems or just take very long to launch. In the case of PTO, MAW and DPC the launch time was protracted.

2) ETO, however, launched into ERA1 or the invasion of Europe period. I switched to 1943. Then to 1940 Battle of Britain.

3) Returning later, I found that No Matter what was done in the setup or Era selection, I was retuned to the Battle of Britain. The same Winston Churchill heavy grovel speech "about so many to so few". I could not reset to Era I.

4) Remembering from my last installation some "tricks", I ran the era music swapper to change from Churchill to Lily Marlene. I next tried to correct the era setup by uninstalling the Mission and Uires (6 folders) as well as the BOB mission and uires folders. I then ran the ORIF reinstaller for 1.31 to write new folders.

5) Accomplished, I launched the program which launched to the correct period. BUT...As soon as I selected FLY from the menu, I went back to desktop (CRD).

Now out of ideas as to how to repair what had worked previously, I am seeking advice for help to restore what was a fine setup, unemcumbered by the SDK errors found in MAW and DPC

HELP
 
My B-17 is missing, along with a few other bombers, and all of the airfields are stuck in the battle of britain era (Grass squares, No concrete runways), Any help?
Thanks,

Jack
 
Found out my problem thanks to the Brilliant Guide! It was (despite what I thought) That CFS3 was only running 3.0 not 3.1 or 3.1a, The Martin Wright Multi-CFS3 screenshot/explanation section helped me realise this. So if you have the same problems as in the post above, that is what's causing it,
BUT, I have two questions:

1. What do I do about installing 1.30 and 1.31? (Do I have to delete the file I did when I installed 1.20?)
2. What campaigns are supposed to come with ETO (eg. I see no BoB Campaign) and can I install more?
Regards,

Jack

:kilroy:Jackedwardmorris95,

1. Follow all README instructions, to the letter, that are included in the Intall Pack of each.

2. There is no BoB campaign as yet. Any new campaigns would have to be built (written) to ETO. Any add-on campaigns done for stock CFS3 will probably not work, and may cause many problems.

If you have any more questions, or have problems, please let us know.:d
