EB INSTALL NIGHTMARE PROBLEM!!! HELLLLP!

[pablobrad]

Help meeeeeeeeeeee!
Ive downloaded EB 1.0, it does its integrity check, then the install screen appears. When I try to install, I get an error message saying "THE SYSTEM ADMINISTATOR HAS SET POLICIES TO PREVENT THIS INSTALLATION".

Any ideas? Anyone? Please?

You need to have admin rights on the pc to install EB via its setup program. You can ask the persson who has the admin rights (your parents/your elder brother or whoever has them...) to either grant you the same or install it on their windows user account.
OR you can install the game using 7-zip, pls look at the stickied install help thread for this.

Thanks Bonny but I'm the sole user of the pc. Its Vista though and you do sometimes get problems with admin rights. Then I usually edit the rights to full control and no probs. With EB though, it ain't 'avin it. Grrrr

pls download 7-zip:

(i'm sorry i didn't found an english mirror)

7-zip is a free unzipper tool (like winzip or winrar) but it can unzip the EB setup.exe, so you don't have a normal install process (with registry entry and so on). It has helped several other people who had problems running the EB installer properly.
