Rome Gold 2.2 patch

[unmerged(191447)]

I purchased Rome Gold from Direct 2 Drive which was v2.1 In the launcher, when i check for updates and down 2.2 patch, I get a message telling me Rome is not installed. Thoughts?

Patches come from the publisher of your version of the game, so try D2D.

D2D does not seem to have a patch for the game. If I try to download the patch via the game launcher, I am able to download; however, if i try to install the patch, I get a message saying "Europa Universalis - Rome Vae Victis not installed".

Rome 2.2

When I try to install version 2.2 I get an error message

C:\Program Files (x86)\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis - Rome\rome.exe
DeleteFile Failed: code 5
Access Denied

Version 2.2 won't install past this.

Is there anything I can do?

korando: yes, there is; you can read the instruction on the download that tells you to close the launcher before applying the patch. Windows won't allow a file that's in use to be overwritten.

UrsusPrimus: the patch downloaded from the launcher is the Paradox one, and it looks for the registry entry that the Paradox installer creates. Apparently D2D's installer creates a different, or no, registry entry and so the Paradox patch will not apply. Patches are the responsibility of the publisher, Paradox, Gamers Gate, Steam and Impulse all have their own versions. What D2D's problem is I don't know, but you'll have to contact them in the first instance to see where they're at in that.
