how effin annoying is this ?

Post by MKJ »

trying to install q3 for oldtimes sake. i got myself a never used before copy of Q3Gold and it wont install.
the setup will give me the usual "installshield is preparing your computer blabla" dialogue and stops at 99%. stays there for a few minutes and then just quits

wtf >:A

Indeed. Try copying the CD contents to a temp directory and running the setup from there.

I just tried this, and you know what, it worked
thanks dude :icon14:


(for some reason it required 15 launches of setup and over 15 minutes of patience before it started itself up)

[size=75][i]I once had a glass of milk.

It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.

I am now sick.

i'd like it in my registry ;)
also, nowadays games tend not to run updates when its not properly installed.. no idea if q3ta was one of those

but it already fixed itself so :lub:
