I've tried a normal installation of Renegade CD to my local drive, and at about 20% setup crashes. Happens every time.

Tried running in different compatibility modes (xp, 2000, etc). Running in admin mode.

All graphics, sounds, and interfaces work perfectly up to about 20% installed.

Did preliminary searches online and through these forums, but can't find a similar problem.

Running Vista Home Premium 32bit, nVidia 8800M GTS, latest drivers, etc.

Is this a corrupted game cabinet file?

EDIT: [spelling errors]

It is not corrupted game cabinet files. I've manually extracted the files and installed the program, though haven't registered it with the system yet. Aside from the networking side, it runs great. I'll address networking shortly.

Somethings up in setup. Think I'll have to mess around with this a bit more, maybe build my own installer lol.

Stumbled against another problem, though: I am playing the game without a serial due to bypassing installation. That will be a headache fixing. Sad

Anyone know of an installer already built?

Sounds like a scratched CD. If you wait, someone may PM you a link to a healthy ISO. That will only help you, if you have a valid CD key though.

Renguard is a wonderful initiative

Thank you for the link, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for. I don't see an appropriately labeled iso file. Will this be the link I eventually obtain it from?

I must be, for I do not see it. Perhaps if you could drop the name of the file.

I see RenegadeICO.zip, which I imagine must be an icon, not ISO. I see RenLauncher_Setup.exe, which I'm guessing is a front end for running the game, not a replacement for the setup.exe that seems to be malfunctioning for me. I see RG_Compatible_NoCD.zip, which must be a patch to an already installed game, not an iso. Maybe I'm mistaken on one of these items.

Please kindly drop the name. Thank you.

I thought you were pulling my leg because I still didn't see it. However, my browser cached the page apparently, so after refreshing the page, lo and behold, the iso appeared. lol. Thank you kindly. I'll post whether installation continues normally or not.

Fail, now at 0%. Maybe the iso was corrupted in download. Or maybe it's just my os. Yeah. That's a lot easier to say. Well, I'll test the installation on a different computer. If it works, I'll have to devise a way to embed the serial into the program and register it with the system. Has any work been done on this already?

Well i went over to a buds place , used his pc and went to my ftpsite and downloaded the iso and a few other files and no problems in the download or opening any of the files,so yeah like you said , i think it is something on your end for sure, good luck with that.

Sorry to hear your pc is in such bad shape.

Does anybody know what parts of the registry Renegade normally adjusts/adds entries to? (Not TFD). I'm going to use CCR-Serial, which installs the woldata.key serial key into the registry (obtained from: http://www.renegadeforums.com/index.php?t=msg&th=19368&prevloaded=1& rid=25010&start=25 ). I don't know if it installs the other components (probably doesn't).
