I tricked you because it was necesarry, but hear me out.

i had posted two previous threads about this and nbody seems to help.
so here is my problem:

I am having trouble with the update. the auto update will not work on my computer, claiming I am not an administraitor on my PC. i am one of only 2. I tried to download and install the patch manually, but it claims i don't even have halo on my PC... obviously i do though.

anything i can do? I NEED to get it to work. I cannot play Halo if it won't.

I have the same thread issue, here is what I do.

I go into a popular thread, for me it was the elephant? thread, then post something about after that I say like this:


Hidden text:

so no one will help me??? (as beige color)
then I put the link here.

then hopefully someone will post.

good tactic. but can you help me fix my issue?

sry, I was only able to help you with the thread issue.

well thanks anyway. but i hope that someone comes along.

wow, the forums just about died for an hour,

atleast I am keeping it alive.

Boo.

Try right clicking said manual update and Run As.

Also, if Halo isn't installed but you can still play it, you have the same problem I had with HEK, which means you have to reinstall.

did that work foxtrot?

don't know, havent tried.

i recently purged a virus from my computer, so i will try again.

if it doesn't work i will download the update manually, but what do i run it as? and would that be the same thing as open with?

Run it as Admin. Or, your account. It should work.

its not working. i attempted to run it as me, but it still claims that i don't have halo on my computer.

Afraid you'll have to reinstall halo. =(

just the custom edition, or do i have to uninstall and reinstall both?

just ce.

kk. ty

thanx. i reinstalled, removing and then placing in my custom map files. when i got on, i found my profile was there, but better yet, the patch worked.
