All in the title. I still like to fire up the old games and keep them around since I have 160gb of disk to waste.

After installing Mercs, I pop in either pak CD and it wants the Veng install. For kicks I renamed the Veng install, this time it complained that I didn't have any MW4 product installed. Argh!!!

brewder my freind......i can return the help you gave me.....kool.......
let it install to the VENG directory
delete the clan and is folders in the mercs directory.......
copy the clan and is folders from the VENG dir......to the MERCS dir.
it will work fine after that
ive had same prob even before the new stuff....i think its a glitch on reinstalls
let me know

Thanks. Will give it a shot now.

Thanks! It worked though I had to do the safecast stuff as well.

Well, for anyone curious, my final effort was rather thorough, I did the following.

- Uninstalled Mercenaries, IS/Clan Packs, BlackKnight, Vengeance
- Deleted the remenants of their directories
- Ran three seperate searches on the registry for keys with the names "Mercenaries", "BlackKnight", "Vengeance" and deleted them
- Rebooted to clear memory resident registry (stupid M$ kernal needs to be recoded to be dynamic)
- Reloaded Mercs, IS/Clan Packs, PR-1, SafeDisk for both packs, MekTek pack, map-o-rama x57
- Reboot and play

but other than that, plug and play, right?

Roflmao!

OK, so that wasn't exactly easy. I think the only change to the pack release that could have been considered is just including a PR-1, no Hud-Patcher copy of a number of files that the HP touches. I don't know the percentage of people that had the HP but it didn't seem like an insignificant #. Or there could have been an addiional download for the HP users to assist in cleaning up pre Pak install. Maybe a poll could be taken and the results of that sent to MT to give them a hand in future paks?

In any case, the artwork is very nice and mech movements are done particularly well. I turned my graphics back to high to get a looksee and really liked what I saw. Am also pleased to see that "Blue Line" camo was still there.

The BloodAsp had some issues with damage taking from a 4x CUAC10 opponent but we'll all have to see how things shake out. The Urbie, I really liked and it's just as easy to die in one in MW4 as it was in MW2.

So you finally made the mekpack working brew?

Its plug and pray in my case

Good thing Brew was able to install it this time. You'll be a believer now Brew

Installed and working. Now if I can get home in a decent hour to play. I was up till 3am helping someone *cough* Sliv *cough* get rid of multiple viruses while doing this install. Can't believe Catz showed up at 2am to fight with us.
