error while installind need for speed most wanted

sam_aussie · 12-27-2005, 07:51 AM

I just went out and bought need for speed most wanted :rant: , and now I can't install it.

First and foremost, it cannot show me the End User License Agreement. It's just completely blank. If I click "I agree" to that, I am told to go to www.microsoft.com/windows/directx to download Directx9.0c. Obviously, I had already done that ages ago. Then I do it again. Because it's already installed, however, DirectX setup does nothing, really. After installing, I try to install again but get the same message!

how can i solve this problem.................???

youre screwed buddy... You probably have Service pack 2 . I think you should reinstall windows , maybe another version . You can try to put it on another computer, if it does the same thing, its probably the cd... allthough i doubt it.

In other news , i married bigfoot.

When installing the game if you get an error that DirectX9.0c is not installed, even if you've installed DX9.0c already, then find the game's Autorun.exe file (in the base directory of the game CD), right-click on it, select Properties, go to the Compatibility tab, tick the 'Run this program in compatibility mode for' and select 'Windows 2000'. Then double-click on Autorun.exe to begin installation. Make sure to turn off compatibility mode after installing the game.

or another way : 1. Copy the entire 1st CD to a harddrive other than C:
2. Edit the file AutoRun/autorun.cfg:
...
DirectXVersion=0
StartMenuDXEULA=0
...
3. Run the installer and it should work ;)
