Hello Everybody,
I tried posting this at the paradox forums (which deal with gamersgate), but unfortunately nobody has been able to solve this problem so far. Basically, I install BoA from Gamersgate (v1.07), and then install the 1.13d patch (downloaded from this forum). I have tried this multiple times (sometimes playing the game, then installing), and everytime it corrupts my install so that the game crashes when I try to load it.
Here is the error message I receive while installing the patch (the only way to continue the installation is to press "ignore"):
"C:\games\birth of america\boa\gamedata\models\261AME Philippe Sacr?mdl
An error occurred whiel trying to rename a file in the destination directory:
MoveFile failed; code 123.
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
Click Retry to try again, Ignore to skip this file (not recommended), or Abort to cancel installation"
I have no idea how to solve this problem. I like the game, but I'd prefer to play it with the latest patch, and am therefore waiting until the issue is resolved before I begin a new campaign (unfortunately, that wait has lasted a week so far).
