Can't install SE4G on Win2000 pro laptop...

[PDF]

Just that ... As soon as setup launches I get a "corrupt installation" stupid message and it quits !
I thought game worked on Win2000 ?
Can I work around this by copying the game files form my other PC (via a burned CD ..) ?

HEEEELP !! I have to go down a business trip next week, I need SE4 to function !!

Ways around it.

1. Stop services until the program that is conflicting with the install shield of seiv is shut down.
2. install game on another system and move that directory over to your 2000 lap top. ( I cannot remember if your allowed to have a copy of seiv on more than one machine. That way if you ever get asked at work you can produce the license.And I highly recommend if you have the game installed on your work computer that you carry the license with that computer.)


RICHARD are you allowed to have a copy of seiv on more than one system????

So good luck finding out the conflict. becasue this game works on all the flavours of the windows world.

Just burned a CD with a big zip of all my SE4 stuff (460 Mb !!!), put that back on the laptop and YOOOOHOOOO, it works !!!

The trick was that those stupid *ssh .. umh admins at office that lend me the laptop did'nt allow Users to edit registry, so the installer crashed ... but SE4 does not use registry in-game it seems, so no problemo copying via file system

Errr I swear I don't warez anything, I'm a fully legal customer and I just can't carry my home PC on a business trip ! Noone will play here when I'll be abroad neither...

Thanks !
Too bad PBW will be down else I even could have continued my PBW game next week, the laptop also has a supersecure Notes mail system with worldwide access ...

Oohh, dear !
your adm. has a good reason to put all possible security checks before giving you a company equipment ! First thing you do is to load 0.5 Gb of some silly computer game
Way to go, man !

Oleg, are you admin ?
Anyway all their efforts are in vain, I did succeed putting what I wanted ... Installing SE4 was NOT the first thing I did, I checked office mail first ...

And what harm do I cause by doing this ? I'll play in my hotel room instead of watching Polish TV !

I believe that you are allowed to make as many installs of SEIV as you want to.
