Hello there. I've been lurking around here for, well, more than a year, on and off... And I finally got broadband, after nagging my parents for a number of years, so now I am capable of downloading (and hopefully playing) Fleet Ops, something I've been itching to try.

However, I understand there are some problems with installing Fleet Ops on Windows Vista (indeed, I have experienced the decoder bug first hand after I attempted to install Fleet Ops before I knew about the Vista related issues). I have since downloaded the so-called 'fix' for this, but now I have no idea what to do with the .zip file.

So I ask, what is the step-by-step procedure for installing Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations on a machine running Windows Vista? I think I have all of the required software on hand (Armada II CD, download of Fleet Ops 3.0 PR, 3.0 PR patch, Fleet Ops Multimedia and Vista patch .zip file), but what do I do now? I have removed the messed up Fleet Ops and Armada II files from my computer and am now ready to install a fresh, vanilla copy of Armada II...

So, step-by-step where do I go from here?

oh, i haven't noticed that this was double posted. the question was cleared up here: Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations - [Vista]How do I install Fleet Operations?
