Problems with Install/Uninstall

[unmerged(31624)]

Some time ago my own PC went the way of all good old things.

So after I got hold of my fathers PC (running WinXP Professional) and tried to install Victoria. The Install reached 99% when it reported that a file was missing (data3.something).

So I had to abort the installation process. It seemed that most data was installed but the exe files were missing in the Victoria folder.

Lacking a direct uninstall I tried to uninstall it via winXP. It finished the uninstall saying that the game was erased from my hard drive. But the damn thing didnt disappear. (Says that the whole game is about 1.09 MB). After that I tried to reinstall the game. Apart from not beeing given the option on the opening screen (the installation button is greyed out) the uninstall button brings up 3 possibilities (change, repair or delete). I tried to repair the install which didnt work. Same goes for delete which has the same effect as my unsuccessful attempts with the uninstall option. And if I use change, which actually starts to install the game, the game tries to install itself into the windows directory (BtW I dont have enough HD space on the windows HD to install the frickin game)

Any suggestions on how I could proceed?

Any suggestions on how I could proceed?

Uninstall Vicky Completely. You need to know how to edit the registry for this. Remember to back up you registry before altering it.

Then follow the pre-install HERE

If you can read german try here. It is linked by the only other thread I can find that fails to copy data3.cab.

Another possibility is to copy the entire CD onto the hard drive in a directory called "C:/Victoria_CD" or similar, then try and install from that.

Hey thanks

It worked

Glad you got it sorted, that error is from Installshield, not the game.

Everytime I install Vicky, I get that error. I simply click "Ignore" and I hadn't got any problems with the game yet

That would depend on the make and model of your CD/DVD Drive.
