decompression error

rem · 06-18-2008, 08:49 PM

I get this when I try and install.

I also got a #7 type error, but with a different file. (The historical database .odb file and also one of the image files.)

I downloaded the installer from the TPB torrent.

Might sound stupid but is this Mac or PC?

Good call.
PC for me.

So far, the game loaded fine, but I haven't done much yet. I'll add if I find any problems that seem related to this.

Are you using Vista? If so, are you running in Administrator mode?

Yes. Administrator mode is in use.

I was getting the same errors. Two things to try. Turn off your Virus Protection (no matter which on it is) during installation. If that doesn't work try downloading the file again from a different server. I think my problem was McAfee was blocking file writes to certain directories.

I downloaded from another mirror and it seems to be working. Thanks guys!

Oh good! What about you, CaptainObvious?

I downloaded from SkyDog's mirror and had this problem.
