My buddy had a downloaded pc game called empire earth made by sierra. I unziped it on my computer under "my recieved files" (win xp). I purchasedtThe expansion pack, but it cant detect the installed version of the game and wont let me tell it were to install, or upgrade!

While unziping i have tried to tell it to go under program files, but i cant find it there, under my programs. Can anyone help me in instaling my expansion pack?

When unziping my origional game it does allow me to type what file name to put it under, but i dont know what to tell it.

Not sure off hand, never installed that game, but it may be that the downloaded version of the game is cracked. If it's cracked then when trying to install an expansion, it wont recognize it during the detection as being the game. You may need to track down the CD on ebay or someplace. Should be cheap.

I unziped it into my recieved files then tou just click on the picture of the game and you can play it! There isnt any setup file or autorun.So i dont think it realy installs the game because it still runs a little slow at times and im i have plenty of computer to run it though the rams only 256 ddr 3200/ barton 2500. on board 32 4x video nvidea. The games max is 128 requirements is 128 ram / 600 processor.

It's a poorly ripped copy so you're not going to find an install file. Your add-on pack's not going to work because the game's doesn't have any registry keys entered. You can attempt to browse through the files in the directory and see if you can find any file that has the words, "reg" in it. Sometimes they'll include that to make and auto-mated registry entry.

Word of warning if there's one of those files - unless you know how to read that and have an understanding the registry, I'd highly recommend against clicking on any supplied reg files in a pirated game. You may end up adding an entry to crash your system or worse, grant some one remote access.

Since you have already purchased the add-on pack though, might as well buy the game. CompUSA has it for around $18.00 and I'm sure you can pick up a used copy at EB. Or you could always search EBay too and find it really cheap. Not to knock your prefernce of games, but IMHO, there's a lot better empire building style RTS games out there.
