"Setup has experienced an error.

Please do the following:

-Close any running programs
-Empty your temporary folder
-Check your current internet connection (Internet-based setups)

Then try to run the Setup again.

Error code: -6001"

I did all that was requested, even closing down all of the programs in my taskbar and uninstalling/reinstalling RTW. I even downloaded the patch two more times in case it got corrupted the first download. Despite all this work, I still get the same error message. Any help with this? :(


try downloading the patch with your antivirus software on[never turn it off].
when the down load is complete log of internet, then disable ALL your antivirus software[spam killer,privacy service,firewall, antivirus] before installing the patch.it usely isnt the downloading with anti virus software thats the problem its installing to the game after easy thing to rember is


virus software on when downloading

disabled when installing to the game.

you can all so virus scan the download before installing send it to temp folder for latter use.


BUT always make sure your disconnected from the internet when installing the patch mod etc.


and if your unfortunate enough to still be on dial up internet[as opposed to broadband]. dont bother buy BI instead.
