Republic: The Revolution

[Bucky]

Has anybody installed R:tR on a Win2k machine?

I'm having trouble with mine, and think I have might have a corrupt CD, but since that is so rare, I thought I would check with you all before I returned it.

Problem I'm having is that my installer keeps telling me that the data cab on disk #2 is corrupt.

This is from the release notes:

Q1. I cannot install the game! You may get an error when trying to install the game.

If you are running Windows 2000, browse the Republic: The Revolution CD-ROM and run the file "instmsiw.exe" by double left-clicking the file with your mouse. Follow the instructions on the screen to perform the installer update. Once this has finished, restart the computer and then install the game as normal. If your operating system is Windows 98, run "instmsia.exe*, restart the computer and then install the game as normal

Only problem is that the instmsiw.exe file is not on any of the cd's. Anybody know anything about this or can anybody offer any help?

Oh yeah, I have well over 2 gigs of free disk space available, so it's not a problem with space.

Ok, this is wierd.

I exchanged the game, and went to install the new one, which did exactly the same thing again.

While I was looking at the error message I ejected the cd and wiped it off, in the desperate hope that there was some invisible dirt there, and put it back in the drawer and hit retry.

The progress bar backed up and then the game successfully installed.

Wierd, wierd :bucky!:
