How do I install Fleet Operations?

posted on January 8th, 2008, 8:26 am

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?

well just install FOPR3 as normal and wen the decoder problem starts just use ctrl+alt+delete and close the installer then make sure you install the patch and the multimedia patch then delete the FleetOps.map and unzip the .zip folder into the directory coping over the old files (note u may need to go into processess to close down the decoder) this should work it did wit me neway
