Hello,

I have problems trying to install the second NWN2 add-on.
I get a "no valid NWN2 installation found" error. but NWN2 and the first add-on ARE installed - and working. I dont get it.
I searched the registry for a missing key. The only one about NWN2 I found is

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Obsidian]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Obsidian\NWN 2]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Obsidian\NWN 2\Neverwinter]
"GUID"="{D656D1B3-5810-49f1-A9B7-24CF06F5BA8A}"
"Version"="1.03"
"Language"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Obsidian\NWN 2\Neverwinter\NWUpdate]
"Ping Timeout"="1000"
"Debug"="0"
"Internet Connect"="0"
"RebootMessageCount"=dword:00000002
"Window Position"="331,274"
"Window Size"="618,447"

the installation is more than one year old, I have to admit, maybe another process (registry cleaner or another program/installation or whatever) deleted the required entry.

could anybody who succeeded in installing the add-on help me and search his registry for the correct key?? I would add it manually then.

Yes, I know, I could completely re-install it but that would take hours and hours, I remember installing these patches is a pain in the ass, takes huge amount of hd space and lots of time, I would really like to skip it.
(not to get misunderstood: I am NOT asking for a game key or something like that, I have the key - its not in the registry, but in an ini-file, by the way... I only need the registry entry for the original NWN2 game to make the installer working)

thanx in advance

Yes it does take ages to patch. However someone kindly provided this link in the main thred for this game (PC games section)

Saves ages in patching. Make sure you grab the little patcher prog aswell

OK, I found the solution elsewhere.
In case you have the same problem like I did (NWN2 is installed but the add-on installer refuses to install) check the following registry keys:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Obsidian]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Obsidian\NWN 2]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Obsidian\NWN 2\Neverwinter]
"Installing Name"="Neverwinter Nights 2"
"Location"="I:\\NWN2"
"Version"="1.03"
"GUID"="{D656D1B3-5810-49f1-A9B7-24CF06F5BA8A}"
"LastInstalledVersion"=dword:00000001
"Path"="I:\\NWN2"
"StartMenu"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\All Users\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Atari\\Neverwinter Nights 2"
"Language"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Obsidian\NWN 2\Neverwinter\NWUpdate]
"Ping Timeout"="1000"
"Debug"="0"
"Internet Connect"="0"
"RebootMessageCount"=dword:00000002
"Window Position"="331,274"
"Window Size"="618,447"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Obsidian\NWN 2\Neverwinter\SecuROM]
"ADMIN_RIGHTS"="No administrator rights. Please logon as an administrator."
"ANALYSIS_DISCLAIMER"="Dear Software User...."


They must be there to make the installer working. for me its working now Smile

bye
