Re: Help COD2

Hi Colin1096,

Since the installer isn't able to detect your installation, I suggest
you copy over your COD2 directory to the path where the
update installer is expecting it to be and let it update COD 2.

Afterwards, try running the game from the new directory.
If that fails, copy over the newly updated files to the directory
you originally copied them from, thus overwriting the old ones.

I hope that helps!
