Installed and launched Ok on my home Win8.1 laptop with Avast. Hangs at black screen on my work Win7 laptop with Symantec endpoint Protection, even when product is uninstalled/reinstalled with SEP off.

1 .Uninstaller the game. Remove all files which where left manually.
2 .Downloaded the OrderOfBattle-Pacific/OrderOfBattle-Pacific-UpdateComp-v193.zip as instructed.
3. Start game. Result: Unable to load mono library from "D:/Games/Order of Battle - Pacific/Order of Battle - Pacific_Data/Mono/mono.dll" (error = 126).
4. Checked it, directory D:/Games/Order of Battle - Pacific/Order of Battle - Pacific_Data/Mono does not exist. I wil try installing it in windows safe mode.

I forgot to write down the $%^$%%^$%^@@# serial number!
Gotta go for now. Will strangle the cats, put the computer in the washing machine with heavy detergent, burn down my house, hire a shaman to re-consecrate the ground, and try again tomorrow!

Please don't strangle the cats.
If you want I can PM your serial number.

Good news. I was able to reproduce the issue.
Let's see if we can find an easy fix.

Please do the following workaround:
Download and install the 1.83 patch from the following link:
ftp://ftp.matrixgames.com/pub/OrderOfBa ... p-v183.zip
After having installed 1.83 you can now install 1.93:
http://ftp.eu.matrixgames.com/pub/Order ... p-v193.zip

I' ve just checked and it's working. Some browsers and Internet security programs
don't like downloading from ftp servers.
Try with HTPP instead:

Add my name to the long and growing list with this problem. Your fixes don't work.
My "exe" file is corrupted/won't runPatch1.83 then 1.93 workaround worked.
Thanks

Once you install the mod and restart the game you will see the mod manager.

The fixes work fine. I would just amend your instructions to remind folks to
1) install the basic game first ( I had uninstalled mine to work on the fix)
2) write down the serial number, just in case
3) install your updates from the zip files.
I thank you, and the cats especially thank you!

You need to install patch 1.83 before installing 1.93.
This is the sequence:
1. Install the game.
2. Install patch 183:
ftp://ftp.matrixgames.com/pub/OrderOfBa ... p-v183.zip
3. Install patch 1.93:
http://ftp.eu.matrixgames.com/pub/Order ... p-v193.zip
