ahmufcwafc Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I don't think it matters where you extract it to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky14 Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 no, does it need the 9.0.2 update to work? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 No, I meant did you install the thing that you downloaded? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky14 Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 i downloaded it then extracted it, and it took a while to extract and i assumed that was it, have I not finished the process? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I'm not sure to be honest as I haven't had to download this. When you have extracted, what files do you end up with? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky14 Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 well i wasnt sure where to put it so I guessed there, and it started extracting and it was asking me whether i wanted to replace files as they already existed, so i said yes to all assuming this must be the right files being updated, and now when i try and load up football manager nothing happens. On the known issues and solutions I would have thought that it would explain where to put this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the known issues and solutions I would have thought that it would explain where to put this? That was what I was thinking too so more than likely that means that you can extract it anywhere. Have you tried clicking on any of the extracted files to see what happens? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
