You need to use Impulse Archives, which will give you the game in full that is fully updated

just follow the steps above (not so sure about #4)

when you are at the area of My Games go to the lower right hand corner and select "More" then select the Archive Application, it should start to download the whole fully updated game for ya,

You need to download and install Impulse, which is like Steam but more benign.  You'll need to register your CD-key with Impulse in order to update the game.  You can find it here:

http://www.impulsedriven.com

The current versions of the game v1.181 for regular Sins and v1.041 for Entrenchment.

You can use Impulse Anywhere: http://anywhere.impulsedriven.com/Default.aspx

Sign in with the same account you signed in here with. You can then download the current installer/archive files which you can then copy to your flash drive and install on your destination PC.

There is some server maintenance happening right now and Impulse Anywhere is not available. Please try again tomorrow.

if i have this much trouble updating my game to the latest version, why should i even consider upgrading to entrenchment and/or diplomacy?

this thread can be deleted. i no longer need this info.

impulse anywhere, for me, failed .....5-6 times.

i've went and bought the trinity disc from the shops, now.

thanks for all your help, though, to everyone here.

Impulse Anywhere was discontinued by GameStop after they bought Impulse earlier this year. However we're currently working on our own new direct-download client just for Stardock products, and will be offering standalone installs for in-browser download straight from the Stardock store. If you have registered Trinity with us, you can just download the installer there and install it as needed.

 

....and why is this thread still here? lol

We generally only delete spam or objectionable posts. Just because your question has been answered doesn't mean someone else can't be helped by reading the post.

rozza09, if you have a 2gb or larger stick and you had purchased AND registered the trinity set, then the stardock store(link in reply 16) download page(after you log in to the store) will allow you to download the ENTIRE trinity latest version which is ONLY 1,144,740 KB (which is the sins, entrenchment AND diplomacy latest versions.
