My apologies for asking what is probably a really stupid question as its probably staring me in the face....but I Cannot work out how to reinstall the Dune 2000 game!

I was playing it on and off for years and all of a sudden it just completely stopped working on my computer.

Can someone help guide me how I reinstall? HUGE thanks!!

were you using the original game, gruntmods version or dunemaster version?
You can write any issues you have like "it doesn´t work because this error pop up" or something along those lines, or if you were trying to play the original campaigns or a custom ones and etc, the more info, the better.

Gruntmods and dunemaster are practically the same, I cannot even tell the differences, but usually if one works, the other not.

If you were using the original iso of the game, just try any of those 2, if you were using any of those two just open the config and mark and unmark all the options until there is one that click. And if that doesn´t help, if you had gruntmods install dunemaster or vicevera.

Many thanks for the reply!  The game literally just stopped loading - I think I was using GruntMaster and I think maybe by accident I moved some of the folders into One Drive and the whole thing got totally messed up so I just removed everything I could find and I need to start from scratch...I originally installed it like 5 years ago and I still have the same PC.

I cant even work out where to Download the exe file from anymore.  Where do I download it?

I think what I need to do is - download the EXE file and put it in the same folder as the files i download from the links below, right?!  It would help if someone could just explain in as simpler terms as possible, eg idiot proof, what I'm supposed to do to start this from scratch.

Again sorry for being thick.  Once I have done this I wanted to raise a point here so the people who designed and worked on these missions can understand how they really helped me in a really hard moment.

So, if you only want the base game (and I think a few custom campaigns) you can download and install gruntmods from here:
https://gruntmods.com/dune_2000_gruntmods_edition

And if you want 95% of the custom campaigns, missions and all the stuff download this instead:

The 2º is a post with the "all in one" installer that somebody did with dunemaster, so you can download all in 1 single file, the file is very big so it may take some time to download it, but no need to worry on the very last .exe (unless maybe if you want to play some custom stuff very specific).

But for the most part, the all in one is just to download, unzip and install and everything will work right away, it was done to have just that and not having to download extra stuff. This already includes 50 custom campaigns or around that number so... it has lots of stuff to play and will be applied all.

One very important: care where you install the game, installing on certain folders may have issues with Windows, permits and stuff; just be sure to execute the game in admin mode. Loading certain missions it won´t matter, but if a custom campaign try to apply X mod, windows may partially block the mod (because the launcher will move, copy and delete files around, which lastests windows doesn´t like that much) going so far to even break the game. Maybe the mission looks like a huhe gibberish, and then even if you load any of the original westwood made maps they won´t load properly (random visuals, wrong units... so on) which may force you to reinstall from scratch again.

Just exec as "admin" to be sure and you will fine.
