Installing problem

[digitaljones]

I have the same issue. I just now ran setup.exe from a command window and it starting installing. Wonder if it will run? Ha! Windows XP SP3. I want to see if it will work in Vista 64bit too as I had the same issue on the same machine

I was not able to install using setup.exe in a command window on Vista64bit but I was able to run the game using the Windows XP Pro SP3 install of KBTL. So I guess that is ok; the game does start just need to see how it runs now.

The sticky on this forum advised to email a dxdiag to support@1cpublishing.eu for a similar issue. Don't bother, they don't care, the answer I have received from 1C said to contact Atari since I have bought the game from their store. I don't care who is responsible for a simple piece of software like the installer, I have never had any problems with any of the hundreds I have launched over the years, if the issue is not resolved by the week-end I'll ask for a refund.

I have solved the problem, not thanks to 1C nor Atari. To properly launch setup.exe, don't just double-click on it, but right-click, choose "Run As", then in the window that opens choose "Administrator". Never mind that you don't have a password for it, nor that in XP you don't even have a user named "Administrator" in your users list at launch, just do it and after the chime the setup window should appear. It installed fine on my machine, the serial was accepted, and the game started fine.

Last bit not least, a big "boooh" to the incompetent gits who try to emulate Vista's UAC in XP.

I'm having the same problem, only with XP. Tried neofit's solution (not sure if that was only for Vista or not but tried anyhow) and it gives a logon failure.
I'm totally bummed.

First of all let me state that I am no way affliated with 1C, or Atari. I just happen to be another consumer that is trying to help out other people that bought this game.

That being said...

For those that have tried installing Kings Bounty and have been unsuccesful then have you tried rebooting your computer and going into safe mode. From their try installing it.

You may have to choose Safe Mode with Networking but I would suggest try it without first.

Let me know if this helps.... In the meantime I will keep my brain thinkin...

Thanks for the thought, but it didn't help me. I'm convinced there is a common denominator amongst us that is causing the issue. I know in the past, some games just didn't like specific video cards. Or a service pack, or a video driver, or or or... so frustrating.

My system btw: AMD 2.4 ghz dual core, 2 GB ram, geforce 9600 gso, XP service pack 2.

see my previous 2 posts - cant believe thiey would do this - but me and my friend will also be asking for a full refund ( not credit because then the company keeps the $ )
so far the only working version that I"m aware of is the older cd versions before the "latest" patch. Neither d2d, or gg or atair is apparently working.
