Error when installing SH4

Syxx_Killer · 03-31-08, 07:56 PM

I reinstalled SH4 again to get ready for the U-boat add-on when I eventually get it. Right now with all the talk about 1.6, I am optimistic. Anyway, upon reinstalling I got an error message at the end. I think it is referring to the Windows Media 9 codecs, but I'm not sure. Will this error message come back to haunt me later on? When reinstalling the game, if I already installed the WM9 Codecs do I have to install them again? I have been installing them with each reinstall. I have only reinstalled the game three times now, so it hasn't been a lot. Also, after each reinstall I defrag the hard drive. Here is a shot of said error. If I click Retry the error just comes back. I clicked Ignore. Should I have clicked Abort?

I think you're good.

This error happened because you have a burning disc software or DVD-CD recorder (one day happened the same to me) and causes problems with the protection system of the disc (SecuROM).
Dont worry, just abort the instalation, shut down the computer and wait a few minutes. Then try again and everything goes well

Thanks guys. I won't worry about it too much. Like I said above, though, this is the third time I installed the game. If it has to do with the copy protection and my DVD-RW drive, wouldn't I have gotten the error message the other two times?

I get CRC errors at least five times whenever I install a new game, had it happen on every SH install, the game should still run.

Sometimes yes....sometimes not (its a casual error, only i get that error one time with my DVD recorder, and i have installed SH4 at least 6-7 times). Or even you probably have the DVD lens "stressed".
