The only thing which seems odd is that I don't have a security tab when I look at the properties of a temp folder. Maybe you have some service running which isn't running on my system. I enabled and started the most likely services. I am sick of installshield not working. Then there is still the possibility you just trolling. Bye, Skybuck.

"Then there is still the possibility you just trolling." LOL! I do run XP64, I never disabled any services on it, and made sure the OS was patched up fully with Windows Update. I do wish that there were device drivers to support all my kit though. Then I'd fire in 4GB of ram! 3d mark 06 gets higher results, and somehow I think that image quality is better.

Try typing this in ms-dos prompt:
tasklist /svc > list.txt
It will create a list of all services and programs running and store it in
list.txt.
Then open list.txt and post it in this thread, ok ?
That would be usefull
Here is an example:
(Some services are not running they are on manual... I started them sometime
ago to test and those didn't help, but I know some are necessary for
InstallShield at least... but maybe it needs more services)

Just turn everything on and see if it installs! I also spun up the windows cd after install and added all the extra stuff like .NET framework. Doom 3 runs great, but the addon won't install! To sum up my opinion of XP64, it is a faster OS, let down by driver support. Now I am back to running XP Pro. Maybe when Vista arrives there may be more drivers?

cancel out your daemon as well, that could be the problem, some games wont install if they detect daemons as they are invariably used by thieving pirates.

Quake 4 ISO? Are you trying to install an ISO, or the original game from DVD? Have you bought the original game? Sorry to ask, but I cannot tolerate software thieves! They cry about the price of games, but if you say a game is worth, say 10 hrs of gameplay (thats a low estimate I know), and you buy a premium title online for Ł24.99- thats Ł2.50 per hour not counting replay or online options. If you were to go out on the piss for an evening you would spend far more than Ł24.99! Of course, you could be an American teenager, which by default means you are a dick

I installed Q4 on XP Pro x64 the day it was released. No problems at all. Just ran it again to be sure I really did that :) Doom3 ROE wouldn't install under x64, I had to find a repackaged installer on the web to get that one to install. McG.

I'll tell you exactly what I did and then you will see that it's even more strange: 1. I downloaded the iso. 2. I installed on a Pentium III 450 mhz with windows xp sp1 32 bit. 3. I transferred the iso to the AMD X2 3800+ windows xp 64 bit with patches installed. 4. I start the cd and quake4 executables crashes. 5. I explore the cd and run setup and installshield refused to install with an error message. 6. I transfer the iso back to my old pc, I have textpad run a comparision however textpad might not be able to compare files larger than 31 bits filesizes. However textpad as far as I let it run reported no differences. I could write my own comparision tool but why bother. I pretty sure the iso is the same. 7. I did one last test and mounted the transferred iso on the old pentium III etc etc etc. And low and behold Quake4 executable from the cd is just running fine. At least I think it loaded the Quake4 executable from the cd. Strange really. Now I am doubting again I should probably write a comparision tool just in case. But it's safe to assume that the iso is 100% the same. Which means something else is causing the trouble/problems. I have been programming for 10 years. I have learned that it is completely impossible for me at least to write a flawless computer program. I can't even write 10 lines of code without making a stupid typo. I have also learned that testing is invaluable and absolutely a necessity. It's clear to me that they must have never tested it on Windows XP 64 bit. Or something really weird is going on LOL ;) Bye, Skybuck.

Thank god I don't because I am sure it wouldn't have worked. Ofcourse I would have simply returned it to the store. Unless you have one pretty fucked up store which refuses to take back bad DVD's like Quake 4. How about that for a scenerio to piss you off real good. Store starts claiming you copied it for christ sakes. Ofcourse I would have replied are you nuts these things have copy protection. They would ofcourse have said I found a way around that lol. Then I would have thought and maybe said: GO FUCK YOURSELF. If that's so then why do these bloody DVD's still have a protection on them. Then they would have said: It's for the stupid people that don't know a way around it. Now I would feel better and say: Ok so I am a smart guy yeah. And then they would say: AHA !!! See you admit you are a smart guy and you found a way around it. ARGGGHHH No I would go like... Yes I know a way around it but I DID NOT DO THAT. Then they would go: WE DONT BELIEVE YOU. I could go on for ages. Fortunately I AM A REALLY SMART GUY and simply prevent such a stupid dumb motherfucking scenerio BY COMMITTING PIRACYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY AND I AM PROUD OF IT TOOOO NOW THEY CAN GO F"UCK T?HEMSELVESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH FOR MEEEEEEEEEEEEE LOL. WHA WHA WHA FOR THEM LOL. Bye, Skybuck ;) :) P.S.: SHALL WE NOW GET BACK ON TOPIC LOL MY PIRATED QUAKE4 STILL NOT WORKING (ON MY NEW PC) =D It's a matter of principle now. I just want it to work. Otherwise InstallShield software producer deservers a lawsuit. No matter if I own a legal or illegal copy. =D

Quake 4 now installs and works on Windows XP 64 bit. I described the problem in another thread ;) (Google for it if you care) Bye, Skybuck.
