Scarlet Spidey Posted December 10, 2002 Posted December 10, 2002 I tried to download Outcast, I failed so I decided to buy it... but now I can't install it... It thinks it is installed but when I try to uninstall it. it says it's missing a file to do so... what can I do?
Scarlet Spidey Posted December 10, 2002 Author Posted December 10, 2002 I like the program, I removed the instilation, but alas it still is not working correctally...
Hekx Posted December 11, 2002 Posted December 11, 2002 Clean out the registry and then try and reinstall
Scarlet Spidey Posted December 11, 2002 Author Posted December 11, 2002 Damnit! Now it says I have no CD in my drive!!!???
Scarlet Spidey Posted December 11, 2002 Author Posted December 11, 2002 Yes, I have a DVD E: and a CD D:
Hekx Posted December 11, 2002 Posted December 11, 2002 Have you tried both drives? If you've successfully installed the game, it might have registered the wrong drive in the registry, so you may need to go in and change that if that's the case.
Hekx Posted December 11, 2002 Posted December 11, 2002 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC\Star Wars JK II Jedi Outcast\1.0] "CDPath"="D:" "Source Path"="D:" "Source Dir"="D:\\" If you open up a RegEdit, you should be able to change these values so it reads from your CD drive (D:\) which should hopefully fix it. If you are unable to do that, I might be able to export a .reg file with the values in so you can open it and merge it into the System Registry.
Scarlet Spidey Posted December 11, 2002 Author Posted December 11, 2002 There is one difference which I changed, but it did nothing... Howver there is other stuff in here like. installed install type install path launcher regestration uninstall string...
Hekx Posted December 11, 2002 Posted December 11, 2002 "Install Path"="C:\\Program Files\\LucasArts\\Star Wars JK II Jedi Outcast" "Launcher"="C:\\Program Files\\LucasArts\\Star Wars JK II Jedi Outcast\\JediOutcast.exe" "InstallType"=dword:00000001 "Installed"=dword:00000002 "Magic"=dword:00092778 That's basically what I've got for those. I installed into the default directory See if any of those are different, if so, maybe change them to see if there's any difference.
Scarlet Spidey Posted December 11, 2002 Author Posted December 11, 2002 I have nothing that says Magic... but everything else it the same... I hope it works:(
Scarlet Spidey Posted December 11, 2002 Author Posted December 11, 2002 Nope:( It didn't work... do you think if I uninstalled it and re-installed it, it would work? Or mabye even restarting?
Hekx Posted December 11, 2002 Posted December 11, 2002 Try restarting, make sure the disk is in the right drive, make sure it's clean, restart, and have a go at trying to load up JK2. I have 2 drives, and I have no problems with that error, unless the disk is not in the drive. Reinstalling might help. Can you run the jk2sp.exe and jk2mp.exe files fine? Or does the error come up when you try and start a game / connect to a server?
Scarlet Spidey Posted December 11, 2002 Author Posted December 11, 2002 It's when I try to start a game/join a game.
Hekx Posted December 11, 2002 Posted December 11, 2002 Check the CD for scratches, uninstall, clean the registry, clean install maybe even into a different directory: C:\Program Files\Jedi Outcast\ for example. I'm all out of ideas. It might be autorun that's messing it up. I personally have mine disabled. Maybe try disabling that if you can.
Scarlet Spidey Posted December 11, 2002 Author Posted December 11, 2002 Alright, thanks for all your help... BTW in 100 posts you will be 1337:D
