Fatal Error on install - possible fix

That fixed the issue I had! I never even thought that the demo would cause an issue with the actual game. Thanks a ton!!

Hmmm, must dl the demo and see if this works in reverse.

Would explain the problems people are having when installing the demo.

I can't install the demo or the full version. The above post will probably help some people, but unfortunately not everyone.

Hmm you (OP) pretty much has the exact system as me except for 2 GB's of ram and a different asus motherboard,I didnt have any trouble with the install but then again i beta tested and downloaded it the second it was released.


It was probably just a file that was missing that the demo replaced.

Thank You! There are few things that are more disconcerting than an unexplained error during install of a new piece of software (Well, ok, there are lots of things that are more disconcerting, but you get the idea.)

Uninstalling the demo does work, however it will also work if you choose the "only install for this user" option when installing.

YAY

it worked for me!

I really think the install program (and for that matter, other parts of the game) isn't very robust. Some people have no problem installing/running it and therefore assume it is all "the user's fault," but it seems that a lot of people are having issues.

I'm not sure what install errors other people are getting...I initially had an MSXML error with tryinig to install the game from a retail DVD. That went away after adding some windows updates for XP and I started getting the "Fatal Errors" instead. I mentioned that I got around those by copying the DVD files to the computer and then installing. This may not be a fix if you donwloaded the game, but it helped me out.

Good pickup on the demo. removal though!

Im unable to install the full game ive never had the demo and ive tried the advanced install method and that fails too any ideas?

d3adsoulja,

Try getting Impulse from impulsedriven.com, registering your game in Impulse, then download and installing it through Impulse.

k no wim gettin the same error code when instalin impulse lol wtf ?

The same error with both the disc and Impulse? What error is it giving you?

I have the erroe of "fatal error" as well, i deleted the demo and still it remains. i got it to load by during install selecting "only for this user" NOT "make avaliable for all users"

You need to actually uninstall the demo, not simply delete its files (the registry entries are the issue).

 

For those having this issue that never had the demo at all, please contact [email protected].
