Renegades wont install.
I start the install but before anything happens it says something like (setup had to end ) but dissent give me a error # or reason.Ive tried disabling the anti spyware not sure if that would have done anything anyway.Still nothing .
I have
Windows Xp Home Edition
Ver 2002
Service pack 2

Any help would be great, thanks in advance.

Lmao Renegades, i dont know why thats so funny to me.

Ok well, do you have a official cd or a burned ware? Either way check your cd's for scratches and blemishes. Take a screenshot of whatever the window says when it crashes.

Several things can cause the setup to crash. Bad cd or even not having the video decoder for the intro movie.


EDIT: Oh and this should be in another forums. This will be moved to the tech support section shortly.

Oh well send a screenshot our way. I dont know you, so i dont know your knowledge of computer functions. To take a screenshot simply:

Hit the Key "Print Screen"

Open MsPaint

Goto "Edit" ~ Paste

Save to your desktop ".jpg" if possible

Then hit reply on this topic, under your window it will say "Browse"

Click that button and find the image you saved to your desktop.

Now hit the upload button, now your image will be avalible for us to look at.


Forgive me if you are more advanced than this tutorial, i just wanted to make sure everything goes smoothly.

Ensure that your virus protection is disabled. I've had to do that with a different game that would not install. (Amazingly, the warning to disable it is acutally accurate)

Delete all the files/folders it has managed to install before it crashes, then make sure you delete the registry files;

Start -> Run -> Type 'regedit' without the '' -> Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Westwood -> Delete the whole folder -> Reattempt your installation.

I was having a similar problem earlier today and found this to work for me.

A guy I know who works in Tech Support says that most of the problems that he's come across can be solved simply by restarting your computer. Other than that, I don't know what the problem could be.

w00t?

You have xp home edition, thats a problem there itself. Have you tried downloading all the windows updates, i know my step bro has home and he could not get Renegade to install, same thing would happen, after we updated windows, it seemed to install.
Also what is your graphics card?
