Installation Problems

Help please!

May 23, 2008 9:24:07 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Problem: When I put CD in my computer, the installation thing wont pop up, cant find it in D or E drives, seems like thing isn't even there. But, for whatever reason, it works on my labtop, and is loading just fine. Why the heck wont it work on my Computer? All my other games work and load all fine, what makes this so different!?

Please help and many thanks to those that do!!

I know there have been a few issues with drives not recognizing the disc, not sure if this is the case for you.

While you're figuring it out, you could always just register your cd key with SDC or Impulse, and download the game so you don't have to install from the disc.

Sorry I can't be more helpful in getting the normal installer running, though.

If your desktop is an older machine and does in fact only have a CD drive, that could be why. The game disc is a DVD, not a CD.

Download either Stardock Central: WWW Link
or Impulse: WWW Link

Then install them, and you'll find the options to add a registration. Simply select Sins, put in your CD key, and you'll be able to download the game. Once you're done you don't need SDC or Impulse running to start it or anything.
