Thanks for the input guys, but I just got impatient and installed it on my older PC without any difficulties whatsoever (and it even runs better than Avernum 5 did!). For the record: I tried it from every mirror. My newer PC just doesn't like it apparently. Also, no I didn't edit the original post. I stated it was XP from the beginning. Mayhaps thou needeth spectacles?

I think you're misunderstanding me. I'm on XP, not Vista. My system's new enough that it can max anything I throw at it with little difficulty (including Crysis... and everything's smooth unless the game's badly coded). I shouldn't have any issues installing it since I'm an administrator to begin with... and it's *only* the Avernum 6 install file. I'll check and see if that little tweak fixes the problem, RPGFan.

So I was pumped to try out the new Avernum when suddenly, the installation tells me "The system cannot open the device or file specified." Only two options are Cancel and Retry. Retry just makes the message pop up again. So you hit cancel and it pops up with an error message saying that there was an unexpected error and that it may be a problem with the package. For reference it's giving me "error code: 2755" I figured it was a corrupt install file, so I redownloaded it and tried again... Four times... same result every time. I'm on XP, and have never had any problems with any of Spiderweb's games before, but this one both perplexes and annoys me.
