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.

Code

Error:

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.

Ultraviolet -- :lol:

Vrael -- It is, and I could definitely use a company with a commitment to flexibility, quality, and customer satisfaction to provide effective solutions to dampness and humidity in my urban environment.

[06:50 pm]

NudeRaider -- Vrael

Vrael shouted: Idk, I was looking more for a dehumidifer company which maybe stands out as a beacon of relief amidst damp and unpredictable climates of bustling metropolises. Not sure Amazon qualifies

sounds like moisture control is often a pressing concern in your city

[06:50 pm]

Vrael -- Maybe here on the StarEdit Network I could look through the Forums for some Introductions to people who care about the Topics of Dehumidifiers and Carpet Cleaning?

[06:49 pm]

Vrael -- Perhaps even here I on the StarEdit Network I could look for some Introductions.

[06:48 pm]

Vrael -- On this Topic, I could definitely use some Introductions.

[06:48 pm]

Vrael -- Perhaps that utilizes cutting-edge technology and eco-friendly cleaning products?

[06:47 pm]

Vrael -- Do you know anyone with a deep understanding of the unique characteristics of your carpets, ensuring they receive the specialized care they deserve?

[06:45 pm]

NudeRaider -- Vrael

Vrael shouted: I've also recently becoming interested in Carpet Cleaning, but I'd like to find someone with a reputation for unparalleled quality and attention to detail.

beats me, but I'd make sure to pick the epitome of excellence and nothing less.

[06:41 pm]

Vrael -- It seems like I may need Introductions to multiple companies for the Topics that I care deeply about, even as early as Today, 6:03 am.

Please log in to shout.
