Where does it seem to think this crap is? I didn’t know how I was going to do this, but I was going to figure it out.
ini file, correct the installation directory and it would run. ini file so I surmised that if I installed the game, I’d go into that. I know that a lot of older games keep their configuration in a. It wouldn’t know where the original game was (and it would need that to run) but I could fix that. My plan at this point was this – since the original game was definitely there, if I tricked the installer into running and installing the expansion pack, despite it not finding the original game, then I’d be able to just clean it up afterwards so it points at the game. Plan: Force the install and sort the rest out manually Clearly, the Ubisoft “Install” button just ran this Setup.exe. In there, there was a “Setup.exe” which, when run, produced the same error message as above. What the Ubisoft service did was copy what appeared to be (at least similar to) the original retail CD contents into the directory D:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft Game Launcher\cache\installers\146. She had, open in front of her, the install directory. None of the many forum posts had a solution to this issue. Apparently people had complained to Ubisoft, they fixed it, then the service changed and it broke again. She’d found a large number of forum posts complaining about this issue, with no resolution. Now she’s no slouch in the tech department herself – she works in software just as I do, in devops, so she’d attempted to resolve this herself before mentioning this to me. “Original game not found” error message window. The original game most certainly is there – it was installed also through Ubisoft’s service. She showed me the attempted install and when the installer was run (through the Ubisoft service) it said “Original game not found” and gave up. It’s one of her favourite game series and she’s going to be taking a trip soon where she’ll need the moral support that gaming provides. This is an expansion pack of “Heroes of Might and Magic V” from 2006 and is now offered on Ubisoft’s service of some sort – I don’t know much about it. My partner came to me the other day, complaining that the game she bought from Ubisoft, Heroes of Might and Magic V: Hammers of Fate, wouldn’t install. For the actual fix, please visit the fix blog post. This documents my process of finding a fix for the “Original game not found” problem when installing Heroes of Might and Magic V: Hammers of Fate from Ubisoft.
