Need help!!!

I need help with installing football manager 2008 on my pc, when I insert the disk it comes up installanywhere , then when that finishes it says "please choose another folder to extract to". When I try to choose a folder it just keeps sayin the same thing, any1 know what's the problem and how to help?

Much appreciated, help needed asap

What does it keep saying? Did you click "custom install"?

When I insert the disk, the 1st thing that comes up is installanywhere which is like a loading screen, when it reaches 100% it comes up "choose another folder to extract data to" , any help?

Have you tried running as admin?

Have you tried running as admin?

How do I do that? Explain?

If you're on Vista or Windows 7, right click the setup icon on the disk and press 'Run as Administrator'.

If you're on Vista or Windows 7, right click the setup icon on the disk and press 'Run as Administrator'.

I am on windows xp, I haven't got a set up button to click yet, when I insert the disk it doesn't load up fm it loads up some installanywhere thing and I don't know what it is or what to do

Does any1 know anything? Please help

If you're on XP, you probably already have admin rights so that won't help you anyway. What other folder have you tried to extract to?

Every folder I have, I am wonderin if I'm missin anything like java or anything, is there any needs for fm to install it?

That's a good point - I think IntallAnywhere does need java but I'm not 100% sure. Worth updating to see though.

Can u send me a link to a succefull java download

Is the game a downloaded version or the CD version?

You can get java from here.

I have a possible solution but I don't have FM08 to try it out.

Try and install the game and wait until you are asked to select another location. Instead of choosing one, goto temp folder - found at C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp.

There will likely be a folder in there with the setup file in. You could take a look and run any setup files you find - if it pops up as an FM installer, then you have the right one. I would do this for you so I could be more precise but I don't have a copy of FM08 around anymore.

Cd version

I don't have that temp folder u said there tho? :-S

You need to replace the 'Administrator' part with your username, sorry I didn't make that clear. If you've done that (or you are Administrator), you probably have hidden files on.

To see hidden files:

1.

On the Tools menu in Windows Explorer, click Folder Options.

2.

Click the View tab.

3.

Under Hidden files and folders, click Show hidden files and folders.

Note To access Windows Explorer, click Start, point to All Programs, and then click Windows Explorer.

Ware is the windows explorer?

I have opened all programs and it's not there

Press the start button and click 'My Computer'. The Window that pops up is the Windows Explorer. The tools menu item should be along the top.

Yeah once iv done that what do I do now mate

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp

Navigate to that folder. The Administrator folder will be the username you use on your PC.

I don't have that c: folder tho

C: is your main hard drive where Windows is installed. It may say something like Local Disk (C:) and you'll find it in 'My Computer'.

Yeah iv got it now, but no fm set up is in it, any other suggestions?

Where have you checked? There will probably be a a bunch of folders and it will be in one of those. You may need to run any setup files you do find to find the FM08 one, also make sure you have the installer open at the error.

If not, I don't have any ideas, assuming you updated your java.
