trouble with gwx3 and windows7

Tolkemec · 10-13-10, 05:50 AM

Hello again,

I bought a new laptop that has windows 7 os.

I have installed the DVD version (upgraded to 1.4 and without starforce).

The stock game at 1024 works fine

The problem is that I cannot install GWX 3.0 It constantly says things like this (more or less, because i amb traslating from spanish): an error occured while trying to read XXXXX (insert file name here, there are a lot it cannot read).

So I cannot complete installation.

Do you guys know where the problem is and how can I solve it?

The weird thing is that I can run the stock game np.

Thx!

Edit: I already installed it in another folder (not program files). Tried to patch it anyway (don't know if 1.4 which is the version installed in my stock folder is the same as 1.4b), but couldn't.

Try downloading GWX fresh from Jim's FileFront page - it's the last known good working location. I suspect you may have a corrupted copy.

I run GWX on W7 with no problems, and that's from an old starforced disk!

Yes, you're right. I had a corrupt GWX3 file. Problem SOLVED. Thanks mate!

Easy one, if it works it's good d/l, if not it's bad d/l.

Ask me anything else, name? Rank? Number? Date of Birth? And I'm stumped

Just call me Bern... oh, no, I'm not that bad
