Trying to update Morrowind GOTY 1.2 .0.722 to 1.6.1280

the-elder-scrolls-iii-morrowind

I'm trying to update Morrowind Game of the Year Edition (version 1.2 .0.722) to 1.6.1280 so that I can install mods.

The problem is that when I try to run the patch (downloaded from here) I get several "Old File not found, However a file of the same name was found. No update done since file content do not match".

Any idea how to fix this?

While trying to fix this I tried to uninstall Morrowind and now the files are gone but when inserting the disk it keeps telling me that Morrowind is already installed, when I try to install Tribunal it tells me that it requires Morrowind to be installed.

This might not be the answer you're looking for but I would wager you're getting these errors because of the install order - well, at least if you're installing from the disc set of the GOTY..If you install them outside of any order other than Morrowind -> Tribunal -> Bloodmoon, you'll get a myriad of errors.

I've experienced this personally when I tried to install Tribunal last in an effort to get a different splash screen on the launch window.
