saying what the error message was might be a good start

Yes, we will just psychically hack into your computer and tell you what the error was and why it was happening.

It's always a good idea to explain what happened, and give as much detail as possible. Your post is just like calling a mechanic and saying "My car broke, how do i fix it?"

Without knowing more, the mechanic can't tell you what to do.

did you install an older patch over a newer patch? if so, you can't do that and expect it to work correctly.

I'm sorry, the first post in this thread tells me nothing concrete or useful. May I suggest you read how to write a bug report? Or some alternate suggestions? Or this one?

And fix your caps lock key while you're at it. Your abuse of caps doesn't make anyone help better or faster. In fact, misspelled words combined with all-caps makes us suspect that Windows XP is older than you are.

My guess is that you did not apply 1.3.6.4 (full build) before applying 1.3.6.4z19. The master download site for BZ2 patches clearly states that you need to do that.
There is an additional patch for 1.3.6.4 to upgrade to 1.3.6.4z19, which you should download from here. It requires the 1.3.6.4 full build installer (see above) to be installed first, then unpack the 1.3.6.4z19 zip on top of that, replacing bzone.exe, etc. Discussion for 1.3.6.4z19 can be found here.

Well .. I once had a friend who did exactly that .. so I started to explain him how a conbustion engine works ... in detail ... 8-)
Lets just say he didnt appreciate it when he realised what was going on .. 10-ish minutes later ..

And finally, no.

From a clean BZ2 install you only need 1.3.6.4 and 1.3.6.4z19. Anything else could potentially result in unpredictable behaviour we won't be able to help you with.

What? A clean start would fix it. Sure he must uninstall bz 2 first.

Yes, correct, a clean install does work, but installing v1.0/1.01 then applying v1.2 and possible some earlier v1.3-patch before using the latest full build (v1.3.6.4) will likelly not work or cause some issues.
Same as not installing v1.3.6.4 before you install the z19-build.
