| Dec 15, 2011 at 17:29 | comment | added | Pieter van Niekerk | @SaintWacko I had the emulator and I am not a big fan of it. That is the main reason I got the PC version. | |
| Dec 15, 2011 at 16:25 | comment | added | Sorean | Silly question, but if nothing happens, have you tried running the installer as administrator? | |
| Dec 15, 2011 at 16:23 | comment | added | SaintWacko | IF you can't get it installed, one option is to get a Playstation emulator and download a FF8 rom. | |
| Dec 15, 2011 at 15:59 | comment | added | Pieter van Niekerk | @ShadowWizard When running Process Explorer I can see the SETUP.EXE process. When I open its properties and click on the Bring to Front button, it says 'No visible windows found for this process'. Could it be that my installer is corrupt or broken? | |
| Dec 15, 2011 at 14:01 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | Try running Process Explorer while the setup is active, right click its process and roam through its properties and threads.. maybe you'll bump into something that can shed some light on this. | |
| Dec 15, 2011 at 13:49 | comment | added | Pieter van Niekerk | @Krazer Also tried compatibility mode and running from command prompt. Still, no cookie. | |
| Dec 15, 2011 at 13:48 | comment | added | Pieter van Niekerk | @ShadowWizard I tried copying to disk but no luck. | |
| Dec 15, 2011 at 13:13 | comment | added | Krazer | Have you tried running it in compatibility mode? or try running the installer from the command prompt? | |
| Dec 15, 2011 at 13:09 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | OK, it was worth a try.. can you copy all the files to the hard disk and run it from there? | |
| Dec 15, 2011 at 13:05 | comment | added | Pieter van Niekerk | @ShadowWizard I found that before I posted here and it only helps with running the game, not installing it. | |
| Dec 15, 2011 at 12:57 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | Maybe this will help? | |
