I'm not using any mods. I replaced the executable. Do I still have to modify the equipment file? How do I do that? I opened it in Notepad but it looks jumbled and I didn't want to change anything.

If you want my advice, I suggest for you to use instead Mark's Equipment\FX\Campaign Editor .
viewtopic.php?t=26898
It's easier to use and safer that notepad.

Find the unit to change.
Make the change ( unclick the no purchase trait, for example)
Click the Commit button.
Save the equipment file.

Thanks, I think I messed up my equipment file. My game is crashing constantly. Where can I get an uncorrupted file?

Uninstall and install the game again.

OK, but where do I find the file to reinstall from? I found the V1.04 installer, will that install the entire game? OK, it looks like it will. Now it's updating to V1.05.

If you are going to do a fresh install you'd need the 1.00.
Don't you have it anymore? Haven't you made a backup?
If not it's better to mail to
info@slitherine.co.uk with your order details and ask the if they can give you (which they will) a new link to download the original installer. And don't forget to do the backup this time. And the same applies to the DLCs.
It's always good to have a backup of those installers, just in case something happens to your computer.

I tried the noted fixes but it still freezes. Perhaps I did something wrong. Anyway, I decided to leave the SU-122 there and fight around it like a fort. lol

For the fix to work, you need to download Panzer Corps 1.05b and can't use a save on that scenario.

OK. I will do as you instruct VPaulus, because once I won that scenario it freezes after the briefing for the next scenario. Thanks.

2) You just replace the vanilla exe with the one from the patch 1.05b. You don't install, just copy ther exe file.

I really don't know.
Regarding the question number 1, could you reformulate I'm not sure if I understood.
About number 3, I wouldn't delete any unit.

He asked, if the MS DotNET Runtime 4.0 is required to run the unit (equipment) editor.

I thought so. Thanks huert.
I'm not sure, although I'm almost, that you don't have to have .net framework 4 installed.

Where do you have your game installed?
It's in Panzer Corps main folder.
Just press right mouse button over the icon game. Select Properties. On the Shortcut tab choose "Find Target" (Win XP) or "Open File Location"(Windows 7). There's your Panzer Corps folder.
