Installshield Woes

**LeftEyeNine** · 09-18-2010, 18:21

How I got this for endless times:

When I had that little, lovely, problem-free and obedient Windows 7 Ultimate x86, all I had to do was downloading the demo and installing it in order to experience what Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 feels like this season.

But, thanks to the technological developments I've been forced through, now that I have to use a Windows 7 Ultimate x64 in order to benefit all of the 6GB RAMs I've recently bought, I had to be tested how far it can go before I berserk-rage and burn this city to the ground.

The same demo file that I could succesfully install no longer wanted to do it giving the error message above. So I re-downloaded the whole file (1.3 GB something, actually I'm downloading the same file from a different mirror as I speak) from the same mirror, the official homepage of PES 2011, assuming it would terminate the problem in an instant. Of course, it did not.

Several advices to overcome "the 1152" were:

Having huge amouns of spaces where the file or the temp location is (~100 or so in C)
Changing the temp location from e.g. C to D etc. (check)
Re-downloading the installer (check)
Running it as administrator (check)

all of which were to no avail.

I've closed down every other program as well as MSE, deleted what I could find in the Temp folder, made a registry cleaning with TuneUp and rebooted and gave it another shot eventually. No, the stubborn

is there to stay.

Anything to say about it or should I admit that some x64 OS is bigger than me ?

You know that screenshot would be useful if it weren't for the fact... drum kettle roll...

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Have you tried cleaning up the temp files, using the Windows Disk Cleanup utility from the Control Panel? I find I have a few GB worth of old temp files after half a year of casual use...

And useful: http://www.legroom.net/software/uniextract in case you need to extract files from the installer.

Why didn't you tell me about that in the other thread? Apparently it is specially made for extracting problem files too. :O

You pick:

(b) I didn't know about that utility until that post.

Except for his missing eye and finger, I think he is. He still manages to carry off his looks, very well.

@LeftEyeNine
Have tried re-downloading the demo? It might have been corrupted or similar.

Error codes are standardized now, aren't they ? :)

I'll check the tool.
