Aliens vs Predator 2 installation problem
 

I tried installing Aliens vs Predator 2 but I got a catastrophic kernel error at 97 %. I tried to uninstall but it would not work so I just deleted the whole "Fox" folder. Now every time I try installing it again a popup menu asks if I want to delete the components. I click yes and it says that it couldn't remove a few files in the windows directory but it won't tell me which folder these files are in. It won't let me install the game anymore. Is there any way to get around this?

Are U using the original CD:s?

No

Have U done the copy by your self? or have U download it?

My friend burned it, I don't have a good burner.

Why don't U try to install the game from the original CD/CD:s then?

I don't have the original cd's, he does. I'm just wondering why I'm getting this weird error. I think that even if I use the original I will get the same thing because somewhere I still have some files installed.

I guess I will have to borrow the original to see if it makes a difference but if it doesn't, is there anyway to get around this?

Weehoo U have just break 2 boarder rules on the same message.
These I was waithing for. :p

First of all the clear things up. If U own the CD U shouldn't have the copy of it. So if U do own the CD:s go to your friend and get it back. If U do so U only breaking 1 rule. :p

We aren't a tech support. So U must contact the tech support for help. :p

But to sheer you up a little bit. I've done som research for U. I just click on the search button. Amasing little thing that there are. :p

Well well click here to read more about it.
And read my signature for more info about boarder rules! :p

I don't download games and I don't pirate. Basically all I want to do is make a backup that will allow me to install without having to have the originals. My friend burned it but those are my cd's that he burned. :) We don't live close to each other so I won't be able to get them back for awhile. He was supposed to install from the burned cd's to see if they worked properly but he installed from the originals by mistake and we realized this as he was playing. Anyway, I didn't have time to stick around to test them at his house so I just took the copies for myself. I had to reinstall because I had uninstalled my game already.

I realize that this might be breaking your rules but I just want to know how I can get rid of this error. I really think that i can't install this game anymore even with my original cd's because it's showing that i still have it installed. I really messed up by deleting the folder but it was the only thing I could do because it wouldn't let me uninstall.

Thanks for the link but I had already done a search but I couldn't find the answer to my question, there's stuff about cracks in there. If you have any idea how I can fix this please let me know.

It's not my rules but many people haven't understand the meaning of the rules. So I've just helping the moderator and the admin to have the rules in my signature. In that case people can read the rules over and over and over again. And maybe that should help people. But no, like 30 min ago I read a topic, that are asking "where can I download Tiger Woods 2003" new bies.

I don't know if this is a tech support problem ether. To be hounest many people are asking for support, I don't know if there are any clear line what are tech support or not. I'm gonna try to help U but I can't garantie (or what the spell is) if these topic is gonna be unlocked or not deleted, its not my judge its the mod or admin.

To your problem, I need to get more info about whay system your are running.
what OS and lot's of these stuff.

And I don't have the game. So I need to know what kind of install are they using. InstallShield, WindowsInstaller or something else?

I understand, I just wanted to make it clear that I'm not a pirate. I don't even download games from the internet but if this thread has to be deleted I understand.

The install is the same one used in the original game. Everything was going fine until that error. I'm not asking for any cracks or anything, I just want to know why it's doing this. I've never had an error like this before. I looked in my registy to see if there was anything left over but strangely there isn't even though I didn't uninstall it, I just deleted the folder.

I know this is not tech support but I thought some of you may have come across this same problem before and could tell me what to do. If this thread is not deleted and if you have any ideas about what I should do please reply here and I will check back tomorrow. Thanks.

Well okey you didn't ask for my questions.
I can't help U if I don't more data.

OS
What the error message are exactly!

If I do know these things maybe I can't help but others have easier to help U ;)

Os is WinME

The original error message was a catastrophic kernel error at 97 % complete. I can't tell you the exact name of the error because I can't get to that point anymore. Everytime I try to install it gives me the option to remove components. There's no way for me to install this game anymore. I know it's not much to go on but that's all I can tell you.

I also this game using the real CD's on WinME so I doubt it's an operating system issue.
