Vietcong Fist Alpha Installation Impossible?

[Joe Forster/STA]

It appears that your game installation is corrupted. Try without a crack, with the original EXE and CD/DVD. If it still gives you this error then, I think, the official updates have NOT been applied properly. Re-install the game, re-apply the patches and see the output of the patches. Do all the patches tell you that they have been applied successfully? I suggest you contact the publisher anyway. Good luck!

Another way would be to install Vietcong then install Fist Alpha and check that they both work.
If I remember correcty Fist Alpha should install its own update for Vietcong?
Then install the rest of the updates. After you install each update again check to see if the games still work. Install one update at a time then re-check.

Good luck

Thanks for all the replies as it turns out it was the cracked exe that I was using. I uninstalled and reinstalled but didn't update the game then installed FIST ALPHA the the v1.60 patch but before I put in the NEW crack I installed the FREE EXSPANSION RED DAWN the put in the crack and after that it ran. But at a later point I uninstalled the reinstalled then used the v1.01, v1.2, v1.3, v1.4, v1.41 patches then installed
F A then patched to v1.6 the installed R D the put in the crack and it still works.
