michael.. can u just tell us which db to use ?
because there are 2 db inside the rar file (the first one and the deeper one)

retired_dbaguado

It should be the first one. There should be a db folder inside the db folder iirc

retired_brookelyn

so.. we don't use the db which is the "deeper" one..
thx,, it's clear now

retired_brookelyn

for anyone who still don't get it..
u just need to extract the "rar" file into:
CProgram Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2006\data

retired_dbaguado

great, enjoy my update

retired_lina2212

there isnt a db inside the db normallly?!

For jo3 and michaelfoster :

Reading your conversation, my conclusion then : to extract it normally to my db folder, and then delete the "duplicate" deeper db folder.

However, I still don't get it. If I do it, wouldn't I get the same thing ( i.e. nothing happened, Keano is still at MU )....because as far as I know, the program will load the db in the default folder ( not the deeper one ) ??

I mean, if FM load the default db ( and nothing updated in the game ); then how could deleting the deeper db folder be a solution, considering that FM doesn't load it at all ?

Or may be I am wrong ?

To be honest with you i have been working with this for at least 3 hours and upon this i have made the assumption that it is not going to work ...My problem is that i extract it or do what ever and i open editor to add some transfer updates to bristol city and it gets quarter way up the loading database and ends with serouis file error and when i try new game on fm itself and this does not appar to happen on a default database

Do you have the 6.0.2 patch?
Do you have enough RAM to open the db (i think you need 512mb ram)

hope this helps
