Samapico Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 What kind of processor are you using? (32bits, 64bits)What OS? Do you have a screenshot of the error? Is there anything else in the error message?
Hakaku Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 Also, for those having a problem with the installer, please delete the file and redownload from here:http://www.trenchwars.org/downloads/Continuum040Setup.exe

Samapico Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 Hmmm... just read someone had the same problem with another program:http://www.earmaster.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=185The problem solved by changing my windows xp visual theme. It seems "someone" has installed a patched "uxtheme.dll" in "c:\windows\system32" in order to use unauthorized windows xp themes (*.theme/*.msstyles). When I changed the active theme, the problem disappeared. You could try changing the theme... if any
Hakaku Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 (edited) And if else fails, then I suggest this: You can alternatively download a previous installation of Continuum (0.39pr1), then download and add these files in the same folder. Edited October 10, 2007 by Hakaku
Samapico Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 Also, try redownloading the setup file... Might be a corrupt file or something... Currently googling to see what's causing the error... You never got that error before? If you get it often, randomly, or for many programs, it's most likely a hardware problem... but if it happens with only this application... bleh

You could try changing the theme... if any well I change the theme to something simple but now when I click on the continuum install client absolutely nothing happened, But I didnt get the error message!
Samapico Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 lol... emmm... weird... check the task manager (ctrl-alt-del) to see if something about continuum is in the process listMaybe it's just stuck there... Might try to reboot too

PoLiX Posted October 11, 2007 Report Posted October 11, 2007 "these files" Only issue. It seems whatever system file priit adds and registry edits he makes, fixes most the issues people have, so doing this will kill it for a lot. Underlord was the 1st to report his non working .39pr1 worked after running .39 Beta. So you may also want to add in an upgrade program just to do the edits his installer is doing to fix settings.
Hakaku Posted October 11, 2007 Report Posted October 11, 2007 (edited) It actually wasn't me who made the .zip file. Someone on the TW forum requested "i'm on linux and getting 0.39 to run was hard enough, i can't run the 0.40 .exe. can someone just point me to a file repository so i can just download them manually?". So another user posted that, and it worked for him supposedly. I would assume this is the quickfix for all linux users, but could also be used for Windows users. Whatever PriitK did, is nice and all, but a number of users have complained about the installer.I'm also !@#$%^&*uming that Guest:Shuttlekilla's problem was resolved by my first post*, which seems to have been ignored this whole time by everyone. It was the first upload for 0.40 (on TW), and was compiled more properly than the new one. Everyone who had a problem with the installer said that this one actually worked, rather than the newer official installer. *an !@#$%^&*umption, he didn't specify what was the fix.
