Solutions for Super: A Starcraft Situation

[Super]

Some of you may have heard me whining about how I can't get Starcraft installed.

Well, I'm at the point where I'm screaming in anger about it. It's my favorite PC game, after all.

I am running an almost fresh install of Windows Vista Home Premium, and whenever I try to install the game with the regular installation values, I run into this error that aborts the installation:



I've tried almost everything I could think of, including...
-Running in compatibility mode
-Running with administrator rights
-Running in safe mode


If you can help me out, then you will receive a very nice reward.

Are you running it from an iso or did you burn the disc image to an actual CD?

I tried both.

Disable UAC altogether~

[Macawmoses]

Firewall an issue? Or perhaps Defender specifically?

Has nothing to do with UAC.

I doubt it's a firewall issue, because it's not making any connections to the internet, or receiving any. As for Defender, I'm not entirely keen on what it does.

Defender is M$'s lovely firewall thinger....meaning a fresh install and it's still likely kicking in. "BREATHE: CANCEL OR ALLOW?"

You'd be surprised.


Try creating the folder its trying to make yourself, and then run the exe.

Tried that already.

I already had had UAC disabled, by the way.

install it on a different computer and copy files over?

Is Windows installed in C:\?
If it's a fresh installation on multiboot, it likely isn't, in which case you might want to change the installation directory from default.

You do realize that using excessive alliteration is a hallmark of faggotry, yes?

I'm more of an enthusiast of assonance, actually.

If I wasn't so lazy I could get my brother to help....at the moment he's sleeping.
