Hello everyone!
I was very happy when I heard ACN patch is finaly released, but unfortunatly I couldn't install it, this is what appears:

Access to the path 'InternetCache/INST' is denied

Anywhay I continued and regenerated the FAT and BH files wit FAT Master 08, when I run ACN08.exe it doesn't have any African teams except those which came with FIFA. Can anyone tell me what is the problem and how can I properly install the ACN patch? Thank you in advance.

well, I tested the patch on XP and Vista and didn't find this problem but I think may be you don't have administrator privileges on the PC, Please make sure you are running the setup from an administrator account on your PC.

Thanks a lot for you replies,

for those who want it as .CMP, I really believe CM is a great tool and I helped in the creation of CM07, but I edited some fields in the db files that can't be edited by CM.

So here is the solution:

you can simply install my game (it will not affect your FIFA 08 at all), then you can export whatever you like from my game and import it to your FIFA 08 using CM08.

Hope you like this solution as I really don't have enough time to re upload the patch in a different format.

Finally I was able to create the error as you do and I fixed the problem and a friend of mine re-uploaded the ISO image again and we tried it several times and it worked with no errors.

I updated the first post with the new link.

NOTE:

make sure to edit the registry value: install dir of FIFA 08 to "." instead of (ex:"D:\FIFA 08").

hey man, let me discribe what I understood,

your FIFA 08 is in the location "C:\Program Files\EA Sports\FIFA 08" and you installed the patch in (let's assume:"C:\ACN 08", and then you regenerated the fifa.fat in "C:\Program Files\EA Sports\FIFA 08" but not the one in "C:\ACN 08", this is the wrong step man, you should regenerate the fifa.fat in "C:\ACN 08" and then change the registry value InstallDir of FIFA 08 to "." and the game will work perfectly.

For all who are having problems running the game, download the following rar file :

extract it to your ACN08 main folder, run the ".reg" file, click YES then OK.
run the game from ACN08.exe (extracted from the rar file) in the ACN08 main folder.

hey 666osiris666,

if you use the ".reg" file you don't need to change the value of InstallDir,
just run the ".reg" file again and use the crack to run the game.
