no, now the game should auto update to 5.2.2, then you can install the dlc's

you may now also have to re delete the serials file again in the folder
Delete the file named "Serials.dat" in the Windows documents folder:
...\Documents\My Games\Order of Battle - WW2\Settings

and if you get any errors or they dont work now, also the settings folder etc, but then if you have followed the steps, all should be working
Windows 11 Pro 64-bit (10.0, Build 22621) (22621.ni_release.220506-1250)

Done that, deleted first the serials file (twice), then the settings folder, but on restarting the game, I saw "New Content" messages for "Rising Sun", "U.S.Pacific" and "Panzerkrieg", but "Rising Sun" and "U.S.Pacific" still stubbornly remain greyed out. I have installed all DLCs I bought separately successfully, and they are registered in the serials file with (I presume) the license key, but there are also "PacificUS" and "PacificJapan" entries, both with the same key entry:
PacificUS5C81g+bUUhyKC8efCqBOsw==
PacificJapan5C81g+bUUhyKC8efCqBOsw==

Something has clearly gone wrong here. Please advise.

Is this in the Windows registry?

No, these are the first entries after "Free" and "Default" in serials.dat ("settings" folder).

I have followed all the steps in your post to install the 64-bit 5.2.1. Now I'm missing "Rising Sun" and "U.S. Pacific". How do I get those DLCs back? Install the V2.48-Setup Release?
Sorry to slither you over to Slitherine, but please make sure it's not this little detail:

Thanks for the tip, BRU888. I completely overlooked that little detail - aaaargh! Well, time flies if you're having fun[:@]. Worked like a charm, however - finally. Problem solved.

Hello

I had been having a problem having just purchased today the Burma Road DLC for Order of Battle: WWII. Where I installed it with the serial number and it didn't show up as installed and available on startup, greyed out.

I can add that I followed the procedure as posted in Post#: 3 by VPaulus. I have the original Order of Battle: Pacific edition on disc. I put my serial number in where needed on installing the 64-bit version 5.2.3 of what is now Order of Battle: WWII.

For my first post on the forums I can now report everything is working fine, the original content of Order of Battle: Pacific (Boot Camp, U.S. Pacific and Rising Son) and also the Burma Road DLC. [:)]
