  • Renegade 05-11 Install

    From Flavio Bessa@4:801/197 to Nick Andre on Sun Sep 25 11:52:26 2016
    Hello Nick,

    I created a plain Windows XP machine to install the RG 05-11 as you
    suggested.

    When running the INSTALL.EXE, I had this Runtime error 200 issue, so I
    patched the .EXE file, and the installation software ran through.

    However, after selecting the directory I wanted to use to run the files, I
    got the following error message:

    Error processing RENEGADE.DAT
    I could not execute RENEGADE!

    Would that be something on the file I had downloaded (rg0511f.zip)?

    Regards,
    Flavio.

    Try installing 98-101D and then Y2KA2 and see if it will execute.

    Past versions of Renegade may not run correctly unless the system date/time is set wayyy back.

    RENEGADE.DAT missing means the configuration cannot be loaded, or the system cannot run (missing modem, date/time problem etc).

    What happens when you run with the -L switch?

    It worked! I believe it might be something related to paths...

    The -L switch resulted into the same error code, so I got creative and transferred all installation files to the C:\RG directory. ran the install program from there and all worked fine. I had to patch all .EXE files for the runtime 200 error but it worked at the end of the day.

    Would you recommend anywhere where I could download the 98-101 release?
