Dragoon Knight Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Stupid question: You are using the Install Disc, as opposed to the Atreides, Harkonnen or Ordos discs? It should be the yellow one. I know you probably are, but it never hurts to make sure.Also, is your copy of Emperor legitimate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunenewt Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 So what exactly is the problem? What part of the installation doesn't work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krieg_91 Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 I insert the CD1 but no matter what I do to try to install the game requires that I insert the CD1 to install and with the XP install fix it's the same.I've also tried to copy the whole CD to the desktop and execute the setup.exe on the setup directory and it seems to execute but it black the screen ans exit right after. If I try that with the XP fix it says the setup.exe program find an error and closes ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchemi2 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Start again from scratch make sure you uninstall everything.Shut down all no essential programs including firewalls spyware etc.Now reinstall the game and apply the patch 1.9The game should then work fine, although with mine i still have a slight bug that i haven't resolved. which is 1st time i go to start the game it is non responsive, so i close it with task manager and restart the game the 2nd time it always works with no problem.

Krieg_91 Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 >Start again from scratch make sure you uninstall everything.The game doesn't install, as I've said before, and I've tried everything I found on the forums. :-I guess It's a problem with the CD and I would love to buy the CDs again but I've never seen it on stores and I can't buy online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoo Daddy Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Is your install CD a factory original or a clone? If it is a clone and the copy protection was not removed it will not install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
