Install / Setup Error

Have tried to install TA3d 4.2 and copy the following files into the TA3d folder:
totala1.hpi
totala2.hpi
The program starts and then hangs.

Have tried using the Install.bat in the TA3d folder with the original CD to obtain the .HPI files but receive the following error message after it has extracted 100% of totala1.hpi and begings to extract totala2.hpi:

Use the following syntax:
hpview install path_to_TA_cd

nothing seems to correct this issue (I have tried running it from the command line with full path name).

hm, interesting, we may have found a third TA CD structure ... if it's the case the installer won't be able to find the data.

What is strange however is that it didn't work with totala1.hpi and totala2.hpi

I am not going to debug this 0.4.2 problem which has probably been fixed by some code rewrite in 0.5.0 since 0.4.2 is going to be obsolete soon (0.5.0 should be out by Christmas).

Try last 0.5.0 test package (TEST 11), it's more stable, faster, supports multiplayer, saved games, etc... and since we're close to releasing it, it would be great to have some feed back on it so we can make it run everywhere .
