This Game will NOT install under Vista 32bit. Has anyone found a solution.
The installer starts, but says finished right away without copying files..

Thanks for your help

Did you try teh obvious like going to the CD rom instead of using the auto-run feature and choosing Run As administor on the setup.exe file ? Or right click on the setup.exe file, and choose properties and then choose, to run as XP in compat mode ? "Michael" wrote in message > This Game will NOT install under Vista 32bit.

Right mouse click the setup.exe program and select "RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR". I have had to do that to a few programs to get them installed... Chris...

Simple as that. No need to install another OS to this simple task. Basically the installer is just doing that : unzip some files in the "Program Files\Majesco\Jaws Unleashed" folder and write the location of thoses files in the registry. It is easy to do this manually and bypass the dumb stuck msi installer. Now I can play the game with Vista and I don't even have to use the CD 1 anymore to start it. Hope this will be useful!

hi guys, there's a easier way to do this... you just open the CMD (click start and type "cmd" in search) once the cmd window opens, you type: msiexec /qb /i LETTER FOR YOUR DVD DRIVE:\default.msi TARGETDIR="C:\THE NAME OF THE FOLDER YOU WANT TO CREATE" exemple of what i typed: msiexec /qb /i G:\default.msi TARGETDIR="C:\Program Files\Majesco Entertainement" :) -- buffy >> Stay informed about: Jaws Unleashed
