I created a plain Windows XP machine to install the RG 05-11 as you suggested.

When running the INSTALL.EXE, I had this Runtime error 200 issue, so I patched the .EXE file, and the installation software ran through.

However, after selecting the directory I wanted to use to run the files, I got the following error message:

Error processing RENEGADE.DAT
I could not execute RENEGADE!

Would that be something on the file I had downloaded (rg0511f.zip)?

Try installing 98-101D and then Y2KA2 and see if it will execute.

Past versions of Renegade may not run correctly unless the system date/time is set wayyy back.

RENEGADE.DAT missing means the configuration cannot be loaded, or the system cannot run (missing modem, date/time problem etc).

What happens when you run with the -L switch?

It worked! I believe it might be something related to paths...

The -L switch resulted into the same error code, so I got creative and transferred all installation files to the C:\RG directory. ran the install program from there and all worked fine. I had to patch all .EXE files for the runtime 200 error but it worked at the end of the day.

Would you recommend anywhere where I could download the 98-101 release?
