Vista Installation Trouble

[Ogryzek 10]

Hi all,

I am having trouble installing Flashpoint GOTY (PC gamer edition) on Vista 32 bit ultimate, on my Acer Aspire 5630.

At the end of installation a pop-up says the game did not install correctly and might not work. During installation it creates the files in the folders it's supposed to, but after the pop-up ALL the files disappear. I've tried installing to a different place, but the same problem persists. The game just won't install.

Any one else had this problem?

Vista sometimes say this when installing older programs and UAC is enabled,

Just press "This program installed correctly"

Or disable UAC which is useless anyway, you must have administrator prvelages on the computer:

To disable UAC go to Start > Control panel.

In the search box type in UAC and then select "Turn User Account Control (UAC) on or off"

Uncheck the box beside "Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer", click OK and restart your computer if you are asked to do so.

If this dosent help, post back here and we'll think of something

Good luck :)

EDIT: You can also navigate to the setup.exe on your OFP CD, right click it, select Properties, then Compatibility, check the "run in compatibility mode for" box and then select Windows XP sp2

I already had UAC turned off, but I changed the directory and the game installed fine. Now I have a new problem. I get constant flickering/missing and matrix like writing in textures. The laptop runs a 945GM, which I think supports vertex and pixel 2.0. The game is patched to 1.96.

EDIT: Got it working, just had to update vista and direct x

What directory did you install it to? I am having the same problem and I can't seem to figure it out!

I created an empty Codemasters folder in C:\

I installed the game to C:\Codemasters\Operation Flashpoint

I did not use autorun and instead started installation from the setup exe. in 'run as administrator mode'.
