QUOTE This solution covers the following error messages:

* Unable to validate Allegiance installation
or
* File Allegiance.exe has an invalid signature


On March 1st, 2006, the community released its first self-made update to the Allegiance code since Microsoft last-updated the game.
Anyone who installed the game prior to 2005 has their Allegiance folder set up with ASGS in a subfolder:

Old Installations (pre-2005):

* C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Allegiance\Allegiance.exe
* C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Allegiance\ASGS \ASGSClient.exe
* C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Allegiance\ASGS \ASGSUpdate.exe


Since early 2005, all new installations placed ASGSClient.exe in the same folder as Allegiance.exe:

New Installations (2005-present)

* C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Allegiance\Allegiance.exe
* C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Allegiance\ASGSClient.exe
* C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Allegiance\ASGSUpdate.exe


The Autoupdate deployed on March 1st expects users to be using "new" installations of Allegiance, and assumes your ASGSClient.exe is in the same folder as your Allegiance.exe.

To solve this error, move all files located in the \ASGS
Allegiance Secure Gameplay System. This program secures your callsign with a password, preventing others from spoofing your identity. It also denies game entry for banned players.
subdirectory up into the \Allegiance directory. Overwrite any files if prompted.
You will need to update any shortcuts you have as necessary.

If this solution did not work for you, please post a new topic in the Helpline forum following the posting template suggested in the Read Me First.[/quote]

Manually update Alleg.

Start ASGS, then, in the Help menu, select "Update/Repair Critical Files".

If that doesnt work, find the version of ASGS you have (bottom left of the app. window) and post it here.

And if it still doesn't work ... I would uninstall and re-download.
