I bought July copy of PCF and was thrilled to see that battlestations Pacific was on the disc. but on during installation it came up with an error. Now I don't know if the problem was with the disc or with the file. If it was with the disc, how can I get another one? And if it is with the file (presumably everyone had the problem installing it) will it be published again?
There was a problem using the PCF install button which seemed to show activity forever on my DVD drive and my hard drive, but which on using Windows Task manager came up with the message (Not Responding) This made me think it was a problem with the installation button or the DVD, so I went to the folder that had the install exe file (BPS_ Pcdemo_setup.exe) and tried to install from there. After an extremely long period of activity on the drives it came with the message asking if I wanted to install it in English (United States). The installation began and as it was about to finish I got the message: 1152 error extracting. which made me think it was a problem with the file.
I tried copying the file to my hard drive and installing from there. There was also an incredibly long period before I was asked to choose the language for installation. Again on finishing extracting file battle stations demo.msi the same error appeared.
Hi Driveldriver, and welcome to PCF. If you don't mind our more insane members (of which Stuart Little is definitely one), please introduce yourself here.
I'll give mine a try this evening - if mine works, it's your disc; if mine doesn't, it's the file.

Oi, I resemble that!
I'm afraid I'd have to try mine at home too. From the fact that you got the error even after copying the file to your disc, it sounds like a file issue, though it could just be your particular disc that has a file issue (badly burnt or something like that).

Well, what I can tell you right now is that the office PC refuses to read the disc at all - both sides of it. That does suggest a drive fault to me; still going to test on the home machines this evening.
