HELP! Vista Troubles

[-TOMMY-]

Hi guys, i have checked all previous Vista queries and it looks like mines unique. Ok i have Windows Vista Home Premium and my computer is brand new, administor (i tryed ticking the boxes) and excels the system requirments. When i try to instal it with the instal disk it goes along with the "i accept" page etc and i get to the screen which says install and has the path on the top. i keep this path the same as the automatic one and click install. when i do it instantly says "an erro had occured while trying to install, try again later" What do i need to do because i need to kick ssome Khack butt again

this is what happens after i do what Thomas says to do in the link below this thread "installin X2 on Vista" what is iilj10.dll?

It's one of the files required by the game which is installed by the game installer in the game folder. If the game isn't finding it then either it's not there (failed installation, running the game from the disk or from the wrong folder) or Vista simply isn't finding it (working folder for the shortcut is incorrect).

How do i sort it out so i can play?

Do i need to download something else?

[CBJ]

Start by checking which of the two scenarios I just described is actually the problem. If the file isn't in the game folder then uninstall and reinstall. If it is then check the shortcut that you are using to start the game.

this keeps happening

I was answering your question in the second post about ijl10.dll. This appears when you run X2 not when you try to install.

Without having Vista myself it's a little difficult to answer your original question, but I'm guessing that it has something to do with Vista's new security features. I believe that the first part of thomas12345's post involving copying the files manually is relevant to this.

well i had this problem in the post above first with the disk so i then did what thomas said and then made a new folder with everything in, installed all the patchs in the same files then when i click on the desktop icon the ijl10.dll prob. As you can probally tell im no way computer literate so what do i do?

[CBJ]

It sounds like you didn't follow the copying procedure correctly. Unfortunately thomas12345's instructions are a little brief, so it's difficult to see where exactly you could have gone wrong. As I said before, not having Vista myself that's about as much help as I can give you.

ok thanks ill pm him and see if i can get a more detailed 1

edit
seems like he only made 1 post and i followed it to the letter, is it posible for you to send me this one app

[CBJ]

As I said before, it is on one of the installation disks.

i managed (after 1 entire day) to get it working so vista is out of the equation but after the load screen everything is too dark and pitch black with only sound. what do i do?

[CBJ]

Well clearly you haven't got it working otherwise tthere would be graphics too. The most likely explanation is that there are still files missing following the failed installation, and I'm afraid the most likely reason for that is that you didn't copy them across correctly. Whether Vista is or isn't out of the equation remains unproven.

I note from the main forum that you appear to be playing now. How did you solve your problem? Please post your solution as it may benefit others.

sorry i completely forgot and yer its working know. i basically went onto the disks, explored them and copied all the files (all of them, every last one) across into a folder i created in program files. i then went into all the folders (dont paste the folders across) and then copied everything from within them into the new program folder. This means i dont have to link things up to start from x destination etc. i then click on all the apps and select run as administrator, download and install all the extentions specified by thomas and away you go
