Tenderfoot Thahd jag Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Hello, I'm trying to install the Avernum demos on my Windows Vista x86 machine. The installer apparently copies some files, then asks for me to insert disk #2. Since this is a downloaded exe installer, I'm at a loss for what to do. The installer asks for a file like this: "Averdemo.2" This happens whether compatibility mode is set to XP SP 2 or unset. Searching for this file finds nothing in my entire hard drive. One workaround that has succeeded elsewhere -- installing to a user folder instead of Program Files -- has been unsuccessful. I'm going to restart the computer and try again, but in the meantime, I'm starting this forum topic. Does anyone know what the issue is here?

Tenderfoot Thahd jag Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 Clarification: this issue appears with each of the Avernum demo installers, 1-3. The only difference is the name of the file asked for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd jag Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 How odd. I've redownloaded the game through Firefox (instead of Chrome) and the installers are now working. The only possible culprits seem to be 1. Chrome doing something funky to the installers on the way in. If someone can post an md5 sum of the installer, I can check that the one I downloaded through Chrome is the same. 2. Corrupted installer temporary data? In any case, it's now working. Maybe this will help someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd jag Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 Nevermind, I don't need an md5 sum. The installer downloaded through Chrome is only 1/3 the size of the one I downloaded through Firefox. I'm going to try redownloading to see if the problem repeats.

Tenderfoot Thahd jag Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 The problem does not seem to repeat. The download must have gotten truncated somewhere in the process. Although it is odd that the installer doesn't complain that more than half of its data is cut off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
