install error with elemental

September 29, 2010 3:39:22 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Hi

I'm having a problem with installing Elemental war of magic game.  It loads to 100% than i get an error message - no code.  i am trying to install on my laptop with windows vista, 1.9ghz dual processor with 2gb ram and ati radeon 3200 video card.  Any help would be greatly appreciated

thanks

Mitch

Are you installing from the DVD, or through Impulse? If not using Impulse, I recommend doing so. Impulse is available directly from here:

I'm installing through DVD, i have looked at installing through impulse but the download is too big for my internet connection.  i have impulse downloaded on my computer, i have registered the game on impulse as well. 

Also, have tried disabling the firewall prior to installing but still not working

I have the same problem as Mitch111, except i'm using my desktop computer with Win7 64bit, and i dont have a capable net connection to download it through impulse.

Could you post a screenshot of the error you are seeing? You could exchange the DVD for another from the place of purchase, as it's possible you received a bad disc, or you can download through Impulse.

It also shows up in the directory of the install path, and i can access it, but my computer and impulse doesnt detect that it's been installed, which means i cant patch it. i have no idea how to put an image in to a forum...

Try detecting the  game installation through Impulse:

-Click the blue menu button (upper left corner of Impulse)
-Select 'Detect Application...'
-Follow the instructions given

ah thanks man, i guess i should be more thorough in finding that option next time, i was trying to shift click on the game to verify installation but it doesn't work for not installed games (haven't really explored impulse as a program), so thanks heaps man this game looks really fun, i appreciate it, sorry to be a nuisance.

Argh, i spoke too soon...now its crashing at the first loading screen before even getting into the main menu (where the picture of the dragon and the title underneath is). trying to verify installation now though.
