LeeJenz Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 I've had the game now since christmas and still cannot get it to install. I have a laptop with windows vista and when i go to install the following error message appears "Installer user face mode not supported unable to load and prepare the installer in GUI mode". I've updated my graphics card and also changed my admin user name as I've seen this has helped other people in the past, but mine just keeps bringing up the same error message. Has anybody got any idea's or am i have to going to wait until FM09?? Thanks alot. PS I have also posted in this in the bugs forum but just looking for soem kind of answer as soon as possible.

deviataz Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Installer user face mode not supported This problem is caused due to SI using InstallAnywhere (setup). Your windows username contains one or more non A-Z characters (#, !, ¡ etc). To continue, create a new windows user called temp, login as temp and install FM08 for all users. Installation should work. Relogin to your main account and run FM08. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeJenz Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 Cheers for that. I've done as you have said but it still has the same message. When i install it, it is done by way of autorun, i presume this is correct. I'm really stumped somebody, anybody must know how to solve this??

Abs_UK Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 try this.. go to computer, right click dvd/cd drive and hit explor right click setup and select run as administrator and see if it loads... might work.. Vista has a weird way of working.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeJenz Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 Morning everyone Well i woke up expecting some kind of answer to my problem? does anybody have any more ideas please Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deviataz Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Well, my solution should work. Alternatively, create the temp account but do not login as temp. Instead login with your normal account, goto to your disc drive and right click setup.exe, choose "run as" and run as temp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
