The sword and the faith

Ello SEN,
Trying to install FO3 GOTY on Win7 x64. Google tells me this error is very wide spread, however none of the fixes (delete installshield file folders, update installshield) have fixed the error. Here are the specifics and anyone who can help me out gets a cookie:

Run FO3. Click install.

Run as Admin and all compatibility modes fail to fix the issue. :(

Me and a friend acquired FO3 GOTY. He had win7 and I XP. His never got passed the loading screen when you try to make a new game.

http://cyri.systemrequirementslab.com/CYRI/intro.aspx

declares that Fallout3 can't be run on Windows 7. You will fail the OS test if you have win7. If by some miracle you can get this to work, thousand thank yous you shall receive from my friend. As ignorant as it may sound this is one reason I don't want to get Win7 yet



None.

I'm the first to say Win7 has issues, however there are sacrifices for being on the latest OS, and compatibility is one of them.

I'll probably boot over to my WinXP HDD for some FO3, but I'd much rather be able to install it on Win7.

I pirated FO3 and it's running fine on my Win7. Perhaps get a no-cd crack? Those often solve issues.



None.

It can't get past the install is my issue. I think if there was one of those extract and play torrents for it I'd be okay though.

You said you have XP on another hard drive - try installing it in that, then see if you can run it in Windows 7 from that installed copy.



None.

You should still try to "obtain" another copy and try again with it. I don't know how many releases there are but maybe one of them will work.

I've tried several.

That sounds odd but it may be worth a shot, I'll look into it.

Oh_Man -- No APM in chess. Computer just outthinks the human by seeing more moves ahead and more permutations

Oh_Man -- U reckon? Kasparov waa defeated by computer decades ago

NimoStar -- If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface
[05:34 pm]
NimoStar -- Well. The bot didn't come up with any new strategy. It just has superhuman micro. Hard to beat that. I reckon even the simplest dedicated chess engines are unbeatable for humans now.

Oh_Man shouted: NudeRaider did u watch the entire video? it's not one game. it's currently dominating the ladder at number 1 position. do ur research first!
Oops, caught me there, no I haven't. :( I was imagining how the game went. Sorry for that. Watching it now. brb

NimoStar shouted: They were not "Unprepared" that was their fifth loss in a row against the bot. The other replays are also available
that doesn't mean he was prepared. When humans come around with new strategies it often takes weeks until the pros figure out how to shut it down. Oh_Man that's certainly a way more convincing argument for micro being "too good to beat".
