Installation error

[DHR]

Hello everyone; I am trying to install a downloaded version of the Ka50 and am having trouble. I have read the installation threads here and have had no luck with the offered solutions.

What happens is the installer starts fine and about half way through stops with a "Installation aborted" message. I have tried 4 times. 2 times each download. I have re-downloaded the exe files twice, still no luck. About 12 hours worth of downloading time. This solution to redownload, was from Groove "Installation errors? Read this!" This didn't work.

As for the files being in the same directory, they are,I think. If that means in the same place on the computer then yes they are both exactly where the downloader puts them. I had moved them to the Desktop for one install attempt.

I do not know what a UAC is ( see "installation trouble" by FricFrac) but I am the computer admin and logged in as such.

I recently cleaned the registry of all previous attempts and restarted the computer. Still the same result from the installer.

The error code is "error 13- Install aborted"

 

I am running on a dual core intel 2.8 processor with windows XP.

Thanks

Do you have enough space on hard disk drive? Do you have any antivirus software?

UAC is "User Account Control" - a Vista feature. So you using XP is the reason why you don't know what it is. ;)

Hello again....AHHH Vista! thanks for the responses. I see now why I don't get the UAC thingy as they said. Thats great. As for space on the hard drive. I just tried another drive. I have 2 and the second "E": drive has approx.470 Gb available. According to the installer that is enough space. Still the same result.

BUT when I ask to show details for the aborted installer, the message is consistently...."Ship texture BMP failed.."

I have a feeling I am not arranging the two files, the exe. and the data.cab files, in the right places..??

[EtherealN]

They just need to be in the exact same folder. Also ensure that the downloader has not renamed any of the files - it does that sometimes when you have multiple downloads. data.cab should be data1.cab.

 

Anyway, Error 13 means the data file is broken. Most likely you have a corrupted file, and if this is due to some connection issues or something this can happen several times. Try downloading with a different browser or different download manager.

 

Also, the md5 sums are up on the download site, get yourself an md5 checksum utility (google it) and verify that your files have the same sum result as the ones listed on the download site. If they do not, they're corrupt and there was either a problem on the server or on your end. If you re-download, do so from a different mirror than the first time to (hopefully) eliminate server errors.

No need to arrange them. Just ensure they are present in the same folder and run the .exe.

 

I have my two files in a folder named 'New Folder' on an external mobile hard drive which I connect via USB prior to install and it installs without bother on my main PC.

 

Strange Bother you're havin' - hope u get it sorted soon enough though.

I have actually seen almost exactly this once before (that time the dude was accusing us of demanding him to have a "PhD in computers" when we tried to get him to tell us what kind of computer he had. :P ) and will be trying to find that thread to see if there was something relevant in it.

[DHR]

OK! Lots of info here! ...Thanks for all the great help and advice. I will go through these ideas and try them out. Then of course, let everyone know what happens. Unfortunately, I will be a while, I am busy with other work right now, looks like until Monday.....(always in the way) but I will get to it soon! I am going crazy waiting to try this Helo.

Installation error

 

Hello Sirs!

 

I just bought today a DVD version (DCS: Black Shark) and I am trying to install this version to my computer.

I have tried 2 times install it to Disk I: (first uninstall and then reinstall) and

each download times it stopped right after when I clik the icon of the DCS Black Shark and try to launch it.

 

Firstly only the frames of the games loaded to my desktop (at the left upper corner is only text BlackShark).

Secondly there is another black frame (DCS Black Shark) and it stopped:

 

locale: en EN

creating temporary dir ./../Temp/Mission/

removing ./../Temp/tempMission.miz

 

 

I have no possible to even enter my activation code yet.

 

Pls what I have to do next?:helpsmilie:

Hello..A big thanks to all the above who helped me solve this problem. I made a third attempt to download the files from a different mirror (there are 3 choices) and was successful on the last attempt..Thanks again!
