I am attempting to get my son's new game running. DOW Game Of The Year edition is already installed and running ok. Dark Crusade installs ok but when I try to run the game the following error message comes up:

"The application or dll C:\Program Files\THQ\Dawn of War - Dark Crusade\seInterface.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette"

I'm getting the same error. Recently got a copy of the Platinum Edition for early Xmas, DoW and DoW:WA run fine. Have installed and removed DoW:DC about four times now, have found and attempted to run the only two patches I could find (v1.111 and 1.2) to no avail (neither patch wanted to work, said my locale was wrong?!?). Installation runs fine, only error is the

I've now removed and reinstalled for the fifth time and still same error.

Help?!

I had a problem to and it may not be the same thing but when i installed DoW dark crusade i had a problem getting on. What i did to fix it was rather than using the shortcut the the game puts on your desktop click "my computer" click on the C: drive and try to find the dawn of war file int the program files. If you can find the dawn of war file on your computer you should find a icon to get to dawn of war in that file. The file may be called THQ if you can't find a file called dawn of war.

Thanks, I did try that after my 7th reinstall, but to no avail. I even tried tweaking the .dll file, nada. Seems to only work if I have the disk in the drive, just like Soulstorm. Annoying, but at least I can play now.

Highly doubt I'll get DoW2 if this is normal for THQ tech support...
