Greetings My Lords
With your great assistance and support and the help of Sega Europe Support, I am happy to reply that my quest has been acomplished.
The main reason for the new game not installing was a registry error. Sega support gave me step by step instructions on how to create a new registry so that Barbarian Invasion would find my game and install. Well it is up and running.
I hope this shows you my determination and persistance in seeing a task through to the end and maybe you might think of me as a recruit in the future.
If you are wondering about my qualifications some of you might remember a game from another world and many years ago called UMS The Universal Military Simulator. Well it was developed 150 miles due west of your reunion site in the Quad Cities with a small company called Intergalatic Development. That's right it was developed right here in the mid west I was not a programmer for the company, but a research assistant, beta tester and other task performer. I am sure all you warriors cut your teeth on games like this in your younger days.
Well thats all to report from the isle I bid you peace till the next war steals her from our sides

It would be great if you could post a link to what you had to do resolve the issue as i'am sure there will be many many others with the same problem.
(there seems to many problem relating ti the bi expansion and i'am suprised sega sorted it for you, they will usually give you some other excuse like it must be a driver issue).


this way it would save you having to go through it with everyone.
