i need your help.

whenever i try to install renegade after i input my CD key and try to choose an install directory i get this syntax error message and i cannot proceed any further in the installation process.

index.php?t=getfile&id=3279&private=0

i could copy and paste the install folder from the CD but then i cant update as the updater cant find the install directory cus i just copied and pasted the game.

i should have just stayed with XP but i have to reformat every month to restart the evaluation period so i got Vista ultimate.

please i need help from any other Vista users who may have had the same problem.

Did Windows ask you for admin access when starting setup?
If not, right-click on the setup file on your Renegade CD and choose "Run as aministrator".

Try creating a Westwood folder in your start menu before installing renegade...

It worked fine for me just using all the default settings... maybe install all the Vista updates? Might be a compatibility fix which lets it work.

Also, try running the installer in XP SP2 mode...

You do know that Vista supports dual boot, as in you can have both XP and Vista installed at the same time and choose which one to use, right?

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Too bad you didn't know me. Wink

Btw this is a warez free forum, I, Myself, have been slapped on the back of the hand for this. :<

Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.
