Ok Folks ! I dunno what I did or didn't do that makes it impossible for me to get 1.13 going. But I'll tell you what I DID do... Please show me the error of my ways.....
1st, I downloaded the patch to 1.13 to my desktop (Win 10 Pro), I had a new install of JA2 at C:\Jagged Alliance, so I allowed the update to go there and overwrite everything. I followed the same procedure for the update to the 1.13 patch as well. (I have a habit of re-starting the PC after installations so I did that as well). When I attempted to start JA, it did not run, and did not show any messages at all. The programs Icon showed up in the task bar, momentarily, but then vanished..... SO..... What in the wide wide world of sports do I need to do, or not do.. ?? Thanks ahead of time for your help and a great addition to Great game... Have been playing this bugger for many years now off and on.... Thanks again...

First a few questions

- which version of windows are you running (oops, win10 it seems)
- which version of 1.13 are you trying to install, you should be able to see some four digit numbers in the filenames

This will help us help you to get the game running

*EDIT*
did you do all the windows 10 patching that you can find in the Docs folder, so copy the dll's and edit + execute the registry files?
did you install the MS Visual C++ 2005 x86 redistributable?

"Current official Release Version: Build: 7435, 28 August 2014
This is the latest version of 1.13 with all the fancy features included. It is by far the most stable version we have ever released.
It uses a 7-zip self extracting executable." (The main update), and the patch for that "Current official Update Version for Release 7435: Build: 7609, 25 October 2014
This update fixes certain bugs for the latest stable 7435 release. See revision history for more information." But NO, I did not do any patching that may have been spoke about in the Docs folder with the updates... SO, I shall try again and pay more attention. Hey, I sure appreciate the quick replies, and please bear with me... Lol...

Since you're posting in the AIMNAS forum.. I assume you are also trying to get AIMNAS working on 1.13, lemme guide you to getting that to work correctly

- Get the newest 1.13 SCI from Depri's Onedrive at https://onedrive.live.com/?id=13A6926EAC52083%21583&cid=013A6926EAC52083
- Download the newest AIMNAS from https://github.com/aimnas/core
- Prepare a clean JA2 installation, preferably in a folder like C:\Games\JA2, installing JA2 into root C: can also create some problems so just make a Games folder or something
- Extract the 1.13 SCI over you JA2 installation and always overwrite
- Extract the AIMNAS files over that installation and always overwrite
- Go to the Windows Compatibility Fixes folder inside your new JA2 1.13 installation, so for example C:\Games\JA2\Docs\Windows Compatibility Fixes
- You will find a ZIP file with a readme, some DLL files and some registry files, follow the readme to make sure 1.13 will run ok on your system
- Run the game

There's a green button that says 'Clone or Download', click that and then 'Download Zip'
