my new lord of the rings battle for midle earth wont install
Question Posted Friday June 1 2007, 11:26 pm
i bought this new game THE LORD OF THE REINGS THE BATTLE FO MIDDLE EARTH TWO EXPANSION PACK THE RISE OF THE WITCH KING but eveytime i try to install it it says "YOU MUST HAVE A COPY OF BATTLE FOR MIDDLE-EARTH(TM)2 INSTALLED TO PLAY HIS GAME INSTALLATION WILL NOW EXIT" any ideas on what to do?
Expansion packs are generally add-ons to games (extra levels, players, stages, missions, weapons etc, etc) but they are not a stand alone game. Basicly this means you can't just install the expansion pack by itself, you need the original game installed on the computer as well. I think you brought the expansion pack as opposed to the original game (which the explansion pack goes with) so you may need to either retuen the game and get it exchanged or buy the original Lord Of The Rings Battle For Middle Earth 2 game to install first, complete*, then install the expansion pack.
*Only reason I say this is becuase the expansion pack will add new missions and maps to the original game so it might be worth while playing the original first and completing it before adding even more features and such to it. :]
