"Setup could not locate a valid installation of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory" (patching)
Quote:
Thanks to tjw [USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!]:
ET_Patch_2_60.exe will error out if you lack a registry setting that is created by the full ET installation. If you create the following registry key, the patch will run and you can select the path where ET is installed:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Activision\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory]
"InstallPath"=""
You can save this text as a .reg file and double click it to add it to your registry.
I do not recommend that you do this if you are not familiar with registry editing. Just reinstall the game entirely.
