  1. Thanks also to Pete and Slaughter for you help and advice. Im playing it now an its very good indeed.
  2. Frenchie I could kiss ya!!!!! Mods please post a sticky for anyone have the same sort of install issues. I did as Frenchie said and low and behold its now sitting pritty on my D: drive. Problem sorted. An appology to the game makers for getting wound up with them. Bloody installshield!!!!
  3. I have tried the ISF and all I get is corrupt media return product and yes I have contacted thier staff by email and was told return your media and I then replied and asked them to tell me what the error is/contact installshield and tell me what the error means...still waiting for a reply. Installshield are a bunch of * I have sent many error reports and no one has got back to me and told me what this error is. Same old story people are so willing to take your money. Im more sympathetic with the game makers, at least they have got back to me at least once even if it was just them saying return it. Feeling pritty let down. If I know what the damn error msg is I could at least do something about it. Funny how the game installed on my CD-rom at work Im going to try this second copy at work as well.
  4. Ok here we go... Its a friend who has managed to install his d/l copy on to his system and it works without problems. I took my original copy in to work today with the intention of taking it back to any games shop. Mmmm I thought lets see if it installs onto my system at work, sure enough it installed (but I cant play the bloody thing as im not allowed). When I exchanged my copy and got the new one home I get exactly the same damn error msg Error Code: -5004 : 0x80041f42 Error Information: *C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\Professional\RunTime\0701\Intel32\iKernel.dll >Include\CoCreate.cpp (41) >SetupDLL\SetupDLL.cpp (1504) pAPP:UFO Aftermath PVENDOR:ALTAR interactive PGUID:3699BC50-DA7B-4DA7-BB43-2981C9178FAD $7.1.100.1248 @Windows XP Service Pack 1 (2600) IE 6.0.2800.1106 So thier cheap CD's wont install with Pioneer DVD drives me thinks. "I've got 250+ topics to read through and moderate tonight, so forgive me for overlooking it" I dont envy you at all
  5. "I have contacted Cenega (the publisher), and they are working on a CRC tool to check the CDs. Not that it is going to help you much." Thanks Slaughter, to tell u the truth im really getting very fed up now and am very close to returning it for another title. I sent Cenega an email over 48 hours ago and had no reply so...noI wont put what im feeling at the moment. Its not a CRC error im getting. When I try to install and get the error msg it asks me if I want to send an error report and when I say yes guess where it goes - to Installshield. So I guess its down to them. Sent them many error reports and like Cenega, got no bloody reply. ***I have just had an email from Cenega and have been told to send it back *sighs* I have replied and will wait to see what they have to say.***
  6. Ok now they have given us a patch for the games that install what about a patch for the games that dont? Im not going to be palmed off with "send it back" I will have to pay money to send this back which im not willing to do. I would rather take it back to my local games store and say it was bought as a present, swap it for another title and go see my mate who has downloaded it and get a copy from him for free. A copy that WORKS i might add. I read in the official forum that they are blaming it on errors when it was copied to disk and this is "common on games disks" lmfao yeh right what a load of big hairy ones. I have NEVER had to return any game due to corrupt media and I have spoken to 3 or 4 of my friends who say the same thing. What a lame excuse. Im not at all impressed and dont see why the hell I should be spending my free time, a lot I might add trying to get this damn game to work being messing with my system settings, browsing forums and so on. This time could be spent gaming!
  7. I cant actually see what difference a patch can be to me when I cant even install the damn game. Never know they may be able to do something. Im going to be p***ed if I have to send the game back as its going to cost me money to return it to Play.com. looking at a £30+ game after the cost of returning it.
  8. Im getting the same error. P4 2.8Ghz 533fsb 1024 Twinmos DDR3200 FX5900 Ultra SB Audigy Platinum EX Gigabyte SinXP 1394 mobo WinXP SP1
