Why I can't manage to install Dawn of War's patches?

The Brazilian Slaughter · Nov 29, 2011

Bros, I have a problem. It is thus:
I have installed Dawn of War so I could install Winter Assault. But some retard made a expansion that needs patches to have it installed. What the fuck?
Anyway, I'm not managing to install patches, installer says patches are corrupted, but I've used a procedure that says they're not. I tried installing them in Safe Mode but it failed too.
I think my cracked w40k.exe and another file (W40k.module) are either bugged or corrupted. I've heard something about putting a file from the cd (I think it was W40k.module) but I don't have the CD anymore and it will take too long to get it again.

So, can somebody please help me?

Winter Assault doesn't need any patches to install. At least it never did for me. Must be superior potato computing.

I think my cracked w40k.exe...

There you have it. Always keep the original files after you no-cd in case you need to patch it later.

Get that cd and reinstall. No other way.

Or buy the gold edition — might as well make it platinum as it includes Dark Crusade. It's dirt cheap nowadays.

How much free space have you got on the drive? It should be a non-issue these days (and it's probably your cracked .exe). But if you're runnign on an old PC and only have a couple of gig free the errors may be spawned from the derptastic way DoW patches. Basically it unpacks all of its compressed asset libraries (effectively more than doubling the installation size while patching), applies changes to the extracted library and repacks it, overwriting the previous version.
