can't install any theaters please help

Post by lomax »

hi.

when the terrain installer starts up, i keep getting this message:
Theater not installed in the default F4 location. Select the location of the Falcon SP installation. Do you want to select another folder?

When i click yes, i can change a directory, but i see, that the program already has selected the right directory itself. Also there it says, that I should select the folder to UNinstall falcon from. after i selected the dir the error message comes up again (and again and again... ). When I click no, the Installer exits. I have 2 falcon installs on the HD, but everything is set for this installation. I also tried a fresh install, upgrade to SP3, then the theaters. Also starting the Installer from the falcon SP directory won't do.

edit: the hawaii theater works. why is not clear to me. the only differene to the other theaters is, that it does not come in the installer, but in a zip file. in that zip file however, there is the same installer.

Anybody knows help?

Thanks in advance.

cool. thanks very much.

add: the theaters' uninstall information's application name given in the setup.ini files have names such as "default application" or "your application name". as this could also be the uninstall information of some other program, you cna check the setup.inx file. open it and search for the string "theater" and you will see, if this is the folder to delete.
