Could someone please tell me what the install order is for HOI2, Doomsday and Armageddon is with all patches included ?

There really isnt a guide to what the order is that I can find easily.

There are numerous threads about this, even on the first forum page... ;)

The install order depends on whether you have the HoI Anthology pack (it came with a medal, I think) or some other version. Also, if you got your game through steam or similar, you need to use the update feature provided by that particular platform.

Anthology: Install Armageddon, install either 1.2 (if you are a sissy) or 1.3beta2 (if you are a cool cat). Beware of the 1.2 installer, it will try to install to /doomsday, while you need to install to /armageddon!

All other versions: Install Doomsday, install Armageddon (into the /doomsday directory, but that will be done automatically), then install either 1.2 (if you are a sissy) or 1.3beta2 (if you are a cool cat).

I always install 1.3 beta 2 patch by copying OVER already installed 1.2. Is that what you mean or are our install orders different? :confused:

Actually, to install 1.3beta2 for armageddon (strongly recommended), I believe you must have 1.2 installed too...

edit: Emu'ed...

As I have been corrected by coreymas in the past, I now know that 1.3beta2 does NOT need 1.2 to be already installed. :)

EDIT: See this post by MartinBG (he's the lead programmer of the 1.3beta2 patch), he clearly states:
1.3 beta 2 contains all previous patches files, so you could install it over any of those, including Armageddon 1.0. ;)
