420 patch craps out on my box

Something about my system makes the 420 patch installer crap out every time it runs.

UT420error.jpg


System: AMD K6-2/333
RAM: 128 Meg
Video card: Voodoo 3/2000
UT Version 413
OS: Windows 98 SE
Hard Drive: 8 gig, 5 gig free

I tried uninstalling UT and re-installing from CD, then applying the 420 patch. Same error. Also tried re-downloading the 420 patch from another site. No change.

The above error pops up at the point where normally a screen would come up showing which packages are going to be installed. This occurs before any game files are accessed. In fact, out of spite I tried deleting my UnrealTournament directory and running the 420 patch installer, got the exact same error.

The 413 patch installer runs fine of course.

Lol!!! The ultimate solution. :)
Sad part is, it seems like a complete re-install is just something one should expect to have to do every once in a while.
Footnote: /d tells windows setup to ignore current windows configuration, and /p f (note the space) tells Windows to rebuild the registry. Sometimes running Setup /d /p f will do the trick without having to completely start over. Also useful: /iv tells Windows not to display those annoying advertisements during the file copy.
