MikeyPI Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Quite some time ago I had this issue with the Mod Installer not working correctly for EM3 because I bought it online, so here is the instructions 16 Tons gave to fix the game (US).Registry can be opened by going to START: RUNType in regedit and press ok, this will open up your computer's registry. Even though the instructions below are fairly straightforward read the NOTE: portion since you can effectively break the computer if you go about messing with things you should'nt be.The Emergency 3 Mod Installer may require a registry entry tweak in order tofunction correctly.NOTE: Modifying or deleting the wrong registry key may cause serious damageto your Windows installation. If you are uncomfortable, have someone who ismore computer savvy do it for you.We will be creating the registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\sixteentons entertainment\Emergency 3 US.Within it we will have the Value name 'Installdir' with the value data'[installation directory]'. Please follow these instructions exactly:1) Start regedit by selecting Start - Run, typing in 'regedit' and thenhitting 'OK'.2) Select 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE' and press the '+' button to its left toexpand the list.3) Next, select 'SOFTWARE' and press the '+' button to its left to expandthe list.5) Right-click on 'SOFTWARE' and select New > Key.Enter the new key name: sixteen tons entertainment6) Right-click on 'sixteen tons entertainment' and select New > Key.Enter the new key name: Emergency 3 US7) Right-click on 'Emergency 3 US' and select New > String value.Enter the new key name: Installdir8) Right-click on 'Installdir' and select Modify.In the 'Value Data' field, enter the full path of your installationdirectory.By default, this value is C:\Program Files\Strategy First\Emergency 3Now, exit the registry editor by selecting the File menu and then clickingon Exit.The Emergency 3 Mod Installer should now function correctly.

Guest Phrozen922 Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I've followed all of the instructions for the mod installer patch described above, but it still does not work. (see attachment) I'm running Windows 7. I've tried re-installing the game and applying this workaround several times. I purchased the game through Amazon with a digital download. Please help, I really want to play the LA Mod. PS - I've also tried adjusting this workaround to reflect my true 'Installdir' which is C:\Program Files (x86)\Emergency 3 NOT C:\Program Files\Strategy First\Emergency 3.Forgot to attach the screenshot, see attached.

I've never tried the fix on a 64-bit system so I don't know if there are additional steps necessary...=/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
