Description Shawn Erickson 2003-11-25 22:47:17 EST 
The patchers fires up and runs most of the way thru its tasks but aborts due to a failure attempting 
to remove the System/pb/dll directory (inside of the applications package). At this point the 
patcher tools quits out (after showing a few error dialogs) and leaves the game in an unusable 
state.

I have repeated the patch process with a reinstall of the game from an an archive but no luck.

Before the patcher begins I find the following files in the patch the dll directory...
ma001319.mac
ma001311.mac
mc001044.mac

After the patcher hits the error only the following items remain...
ma001319.mac
mc001044.mac

The following is an fs_usage of stuff related to the "dll" directory. Errno of 66 implies directory not 
empty.

[G5:~] shawnce% sudo fs_usage -w | grep dll

After manually removing the directory from a clean install (dragged it out of the package) and 
running the patcher things completed. So far the game appears to functioning but...

MojoPatch will continue on if you fix a problem (i.e. - it couldn't remove a
directory, so you remove it manually...next time through, it'll notice that
everything up to that point is patched correctly and the directory it wanted to
delete is already gone, and continue the patching process normally).

Removing a non-empty directory was an unforeseen issue in the patching process.
My apologies.

Oh, I should also say that you don't need to delete the directory when patching
from a clean (never been used) 1.9 installation...the problem is that PunkBuster
is adding files to the installation that MojoPatch doesn't account for.

To summarize for those coming here for info:
1) Right-click/ctrl-click the Army Operations 1.9 icon.
2) Click "Show Package Contents" on the popup menu.
3) In the newly-opened folder, find the "System" folder.
4) In "System", find the "pb" folder.
5) In "pb", DELETE the "dll" folder (drag it to the trash).
6) Close all these folders, run the patch program.

Alternately, install 2.0 from the full package, or (if you've got the 1.9
installer around) delete your 1.9 install, reinstall 1.9 and apply the 2.0 patch
before playing.

Nothing ever works smoothly on the first try, I swear.  :)

Actually it aborts out of the patching reporting that you are already at 2.0.
