Totally unique installation problem, begging for help!!

Post by Jessepi »

I insert disk and the program autoruns and prepares the setup, when progress bar is full and setup is starting the program just crashes to the desktop. My pc more than meets the minimum requirements to run it and installs fine on my friends far inferior laptop. There must be something basic i am doing wrong, can anyone help please?

No idea yet, might be a problem with the DirectX Installer, cause that one should usually start it's installation after the main software is done. Have you taken a look at the ElderScrolls website and their tech support FAQ ?

...how about posting your system specifications, and which country edition the game is anyway, everything could help...

Well for starters if it's an installer problem try deleting and reinstalling the InstallShield Common Files - [url="http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q108322"]linky[/url]. You need version 11, that's right at the bottom, that's what Obl uses.

Also for some bizzare reason programs like Nero, Roxio or other dvd/cd-copying software can mess up the install shield so if you have these, uninstall and try again. You can always reinstall them alter on.
And He whispered to me in the darkness as we lay together, Tell Me where to touch you so that I can drive you insane; tell Me where to touch you to give you ultimate pleasure, tell Me where to touch you so that we will truly own each other. And I kissed Him softly and whispered back, Touch my mind.
