My PC cannot "run as administrator" and that has been disabled, however my account is an administrator, so you'd think that it wouldn't be needed. Well, apparently it is because I STILL cannot download the update.

Can anyone give me the files that are updated? Because the .exe says I don't own Halo (Yes I do) and the automatic update says I'm not an administrator (yes I am).

Go to your halo directory, right click haloupdate.exe, then run as administrator.

Apparently you didn't read my post.

I'll host the updated files on FileDropper for you in a little bit. I'll edit this post when I do.

EDIT: Ok, done. I included any .exe or .dll files I thought were necessary.

I'll assume you already know what to do with these =]

And g'luk.

that really is incredible. Besides the fact he could have just gotten his parents or whatever to give him admin for a couple minutes.

Because I guess if I'm busy doing things in life for awhile that automatically means I'm some kind of sub-human, degenerate prick who only wants to piss people off on the internet by making them send me files?

Anyway, now that I'm back on track, the link won't work. Thanks for uploading it before though. If you could do it again that'd be much appreciated.

Edit: And make sure you get me the Halo Custom Edition files, I don't even play the regular PC version. Thanks.

Read my first post. I have administrator privileges.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Someone who can "run as administrator" has to run the updater. If no one with an account on the PC can do it, you have a serious problem.
