Installation Problem

**Terry** · February 10, 2009, 03:17 PM

I have Vista. I bought the game from EBGames.Com as a Digital Download. After some trouble getting it to download those three initial files, the installer came up. The green bar reached the end, but now, when I click the tray icon at the bottom for it to come back up, it wont, if that makes sense. It will show as if it is the current thing on the screen, but it doesn't show up.

You shouldn't have brought digital download ^_^ Hmm, only thing I can suggest is to leave your computer on, come away from ti for like 15 minutes then come back and try it.

**Terry** · February 10, 2009, 04:06 PM

I couldn't find it in any stores, sorry. It's been on for about an hour, maybe it just needs a long time to download, ah well.

**irishron** · February 10, 2009, 04:40 PM

Being two dvds for Medieval2 and two more dvds for Kingdoms, dependeing on your connection speed, maybe three hours plus.
I don't know how much you download, especially this size, but talking on here at the wrong time can corrupt your download.

**Terry** · February 10, 2009, 04:41 PM

Ok, thanks. So basically I should just assume that it's downloading, despite the fact the window wont open up, and leave it for a while?

**irishron** · February 10, 2009, 05:10 PM

I would, and you're welcome.

Have you tried buying the dvds from amazon or some other online store?

**Terry** · February 10, 2009, 05:15 PM

No I didn't. I assumed a Digital Download would work fine.

**irishron** · February 10, 2009, 06:08 PM

They usually put a limit on downloads and then you're buying it all over, again. Buy the dvds and take care of them and thet'll outlast a download version.

My opinion about downloads like this is if the company you downloaded it from goes broke and ceases all downloads, who do you turn to?

**Terry** · February 13, 2009, 07:49 PM

Digital Download seems to have been a huge mistake, as it still isn't working.

It wont even let me uninstall it, to attempt to install to it again. :S

**★Bandiera Rossa☭** · February 13, 2009, 07:56 PM

The download from the website is not working or the installation?

**Terry** · February 13, 2009, 08:06 PM

The download from the site is fine. I think it only partially installs, as at one part of the installation the window minimizes and will not come back up. It seems all the files are in the folder though, and when I try to play the game it closes and says "An unexpected error has occured". And when I clicked settings, this came up, if it helps at all.

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.
