I installed it in Vista 32, from CD, and when I run the patch to 2.0.1 it says: The following file does not patch the file to be updated: (Coins.zrf, Go-Moku.zrf, Go.zrf and Checkers.zrf are all indicated). I purchased version 1 many years ago and upgraded to 2 via this website; how can I get the patch to work?Failed Patch picture

If you install Zillions on another computer that is not running Vista, then I suppose you need only copy Zillions 2.0 directory into Vista and input the unlock code.

Are you able to try installing it from the web download and using your existing unlock key?

Unlock code or key... I bought this so long ago I don't recall whether I had one. I know I had a box for the software (both for versions 1 and 2). The unlock code does not appear in the Help menu.

To reiterate: I can run Zillions - I just can't run the patch (which means I can't run many of the new games people have written). I would consider biting the bullet and buying it again if I could be sure it would work.

Thanks for the replies.

If you buy it again I recommend the download version. There have been problems when ordering the CD.

I had it installed on another PC that runs Windows XP, and copied the files to this one. So, I am in business again. Thank you, Mats.
