Game not installing.

Question

The game simply won't install. My disc is of dubious quality nowadays so I snagged an image off the net to make sure that it wasn't just that. I'm running Windows XP 32bit and should be service pack 2.

 

The problem itself is that I can get to the menu screen, but when I click on install it starts up the setup program, but I don't ever actually see anything happen. So I have to end the process through the task manager. I then tried copying the REBELLION folder from the image directly to my PC, but then it tells me it can't find the disc, even when I have it mounted, so it is probably an installation problem. Anyone got any ideas for this?

The game came out before "administrator access" was a big deal. Are you running the install under an administrator profile? Also, I've noticed that mounting older games is sometimes difficult; they tend not to recognize the mount. For that matter, Rebellion is very picky about recognizing CDs; I made a duplicate of my CD to play LAN games with a friend, but Rebellion would never work off it. Same story with mounting, even with the various security features of Daemon tools (like SecuRom, etc.); I couldn't get anything to work except the original.

 

Make sure you're an administrator. Then try running it "as administrator" (if XP has that option, I can't remember now). If that isn't the problem, my recommendation is to get a new copy of the original disc; try Ebay. Other than those two ideas, I'm drawing a blank.

 

Also, these boards don't look too kindly on pirated versions. Forgive us if we're a bit skeptical, but... at least I am. I might note that in the aforementioned link, Undertaker has an interesting idea about getting your CD replaced for free. Dunno if it would work, but you could try it.
