Corrupt Demo on cover-disk

Post by TheModDoctor »

I tried to install the Sherlock holmes demo on the new cover disk, but something is wrong with the installer, not all the required files are copied. When I run the demo, I get an error message:

The demo worked fine for me.... But i do think some unlucky ones get bad CD's. try to copy the installer to your destkop and try run it like that.

the Keys.ini file looks like a mapping list of keyboard keys to in-game actions... necessary, but not ciritical as the game provides a default list...

these two lines, where the actual issue develops, point at a driver issue or game bug... it is, after all, a demo....
