quickQuestion 2 Posted January 23, 2018 Hello everyone. So im trying to install the goty version of the original operation flashpoint. i have windows 10 but i am using virtualbox to run windows xp especially for this game. anyway, when installing, every time i get to the end of the last installation disc, disc 3, it suddenly says it encountered an error and closes. i am not tech savvy at all. the virtualbox was set up by my brother and i am really at a loss. any ideas what to do? thanks for reading. Dean. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Przemek_kondor 13 Posted January 24, 2018 You can download Arma: Cold War Assault installer (which is just rebranded OFP: Resistance v1.99) and use your OFP:GOTY key there. Works with Windows 10 too. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quickQuestion 2 Posted January 24, 2018 im gonna go ahead with that thanks very much. ha just typical, because it was red hammer i was itching to play the most :D but all the same i am highly grateful. thanks. ha, you'll have to excuse me, i really have no clue when it comes to computers, i dont even know what a download mirror is. which link or what gets the actual installation going on that page? oh by the way, can you make custom scenarios and stuff in this one like you could in the original? many thanks Dean.

Przemek_kondor 13 Posted January 24, 2018 1. Either http://kamran.cc/ARMA2/CWA.zip or http://tom4897.info/depot/ofp/game/CWA.zip is the link to the full "CWA" (Cold War Assault) installer 2. Red Hammer (or even its community sequel) you can find under: http://steamcommunity.com/app/65790/discussions/search/?q=red+hammer&gidforum=882959697728857370&include_deleted=1 3. You can make custom scenarios and addons. As I said it's just rebranded OFP: Resistance with upgraded version, hence all the things works the same Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barccy 53 Posted January 12 I have this same problem on windows 10 (22h2(?)) without virtualbox. My pc has multiple drives, but the one I had a previous installation on from 2016 failed last month, so i replaced it today. When i tried running the installer 1st time it said it was already installed (reg entry i guess) but i opted to reinstall. Most if not all files were put in place but the installer just ended without warning while on the 3rd disk. The main exe would not successfully launch the game. I tried to install again, but had to uninstall to run installer. This time an error dialogue appeared when on 3rd disk, and nothing had been placed into the folders despite the installer suggesting otherwise. I wish I had thought to just paste the files over from a backup folder i had which could have worked since the reg entry used to ve there. But that won't work anymore. I hope 1.96 isn't lost to me forever. It seems like windows 10 after maybe 1607 version has been losing compatibility with old programs, despite it initially seeming better than win 7 with things like starcraft actually displaying properly in early 10 but not eol 7.
