mtm2 patch problems

Hey guys, i got a new computer not to long ago and after loosing my old mtm2 game and my truck projects etc, i wanted to start over with this computer.

so far i have had no luck finding the mtm2.iso file so i downloaded the game from a program (and checked it for viruses). The game works fine but it doesn't have an installation file so i cant properly install the game on to my computer. I can uninstall it, but i cant reinstall it.

What this all means is that apparently, with out the game properly installed, i cant install the patch because it says that it cant find monster truck madness 2 on my computer.

can any one help me out with this, or tell me if there is an iso file still available for download.

well, after installing the file and retrying to add the patch, i still have no luck. here is what the message says:

"Cannot find existing installation of Monster Truck Madness 2. Installation aborted."

Well, I guess that answers the questions about that download. I might try it myself later to confirm. Meantime, you might try the method for patching the demo

Skip down to part 3 and see if that'll help you out.

Gee, Phin, that's pretty interesting! I wish I'd known about the demo extending thing before I went out and bought it lol.

'extending the demo'
or you could just give people a link to download a copy of the retail cd.
didnt know we condone illegal copies of the game now.

>> didnt know we condone illegal copies of the game now.

We don't. But in the absence of microsoft issuing another printing of the game, a little white hat thinking about potential options and resources is certainly a fair and reasonable topic for discussion.

I couldn't download the file, but I scrounged around and found the one I first checked. It installed and patched fine for me, so I have no idea what the problem could be with your set up.

Interesting, I've never looked at the version number before or after the patch.

Version 2.00.41 <a href="http://mtm2.com/~mtmg/pics/mtm2versioninstalled.jpg">installed</a>
Version 2.00.42 <a href="http://mtm2.com/~mtmg/pics/mtm2versionpatched.jpg">patched</a>

And I'm willing to bet the <a href="http://mtm2.com/~mtmg/pics/mtm2versioninprodID.gif">ProductID</a> could be all zeros (or the second half of it could be) for the demo but I've never tried it.
