socal500 Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 My friend purchased BS recently so he could hook up with me another friend, who also bought the game. After downloading the files and attempting installed he receives an NSIS failure, which after research states its due to corrupt files. We verified the files were good by using the same downloaded files to test install on another system, which it worked fine. Both systems are XP so UAC is not the issue. Further research shows a known problem with the installer and dfi lanparty ut nf4 however no solution is provided. We have tried direct download to the issue machine, download on a different maching, testing install and then transferring the known good download to the desktop.. All result in the NSIS error. So its fairly obvious there is a conflict between the installer and the issue machine. In addition the issue machine was formatted, fresh XP install with SP3, latest drivers, no virus protection or firewall running including the XP built on features. The best we have been able to accomplish is installing on a good machine but not activating. Copying the Eagle Dynamics folder from that machine to the issue machine, running and activating. This actually worked. We then tried installing the 1.01c update on the issue machine, again the same NSIS error. We took that same 1.01c update file and upated the laptop without a problem. Again we copied the updated Eagle Dynamics folder from the good machine to the issue machine. This time it did not work and he gets a DSC.exe error message after trying to start a mission. After the error message he gets kicked back to the debriefing screen. We have tried other measures such as deactivating the non working updated game and reactivating it. In all he has used up 2 activations and 1 deactivate.

But I had a similar problem with my old nf4 board and found a solution by checking the settings in the BIOS. On my machine the error occurred during installation, extraction and moving of larger files. It turned out my HDD was recognized faulty. After setting it up in the BIOS manually, it worked fine. An easier way might be to clear/remove the windows-page-file and TEMP folders. Could be a filing-problem with either, according to some forums I just checked.

I will check out the bios settings and other suggestions. No firewall or virus scanner meaning we did a fresh install and did not install them soley to rule them out as the problem while installing the game. The system normally has them installed.
