Unreal II Installshield Internal Error

geengar · #1 15-02-2003, 02:51

I just got a copy of Unreal II but I got a problem installing it onto my Winxp system. The installshield keep giving me a Internal Failure, Error Number : 0x80040707. Then will I ignore it to continue the installation, the installation will stop at the screen prompting me to enter my install directory. Did anyone have this problem? Pls advice...

I check out the official site already but I can't find the solution to my problem...

A simple Google search turned this up. Check it out, and if you still can't solve it, contact EPic, it's THEIR job to solve these kinds of problems.

So what happened?

I've had the exact same problem and can't find anything!!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Well, you could start by deleting your Temp directory, seems like that could help with Installshield problems. What's your OS ?

Win XP

Do you mean the Temp directory C:/Documents and Settings/Admin/Temp

Or C:/Windows/Temp?

There are two Temp folders that i could possibly delete.

Be more interesting to find out where you got your copy from.

A place here in Australlia called Harvey Norman.

But what does that matter.....how can that help.

The game is an official copy if that's what you're worried about.

I was talking about the first one under "Documents and Settings...etc". I know this can solve some weird Installshield errors, so you might want to try it. Other than that, I have no idea what else to suggest...

Yeah - just went and tried that.

Still no go.

Man this bugs me!

Thanks tho

Any other ideas anyone?

Geengar............quit laughing and tell me what you came up with :P

Well then, easy.
Take it back to Harvey Norman and tell them the problem.
Ask them to try installing on one of their demo pcs.
If it works then take it home, reinstall your system and try again.
If it doesn't then you may have a bad pressing and request a replacement.

But the game worked fine on two other computers (which AREN'T mine).

So then what have i done wrong?
