bluesjunior Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 While going into my Program Files on my hard drive to delete a folder I noticed row upon row of WinRar zip files in there. On checking them I believe them to be from the installation of the Demo. If they are part of the Demo installation why is it necessary to have every version and update of them since 2003?. Does anyone else have this and if so why haven't they been installed in a simple yellow folder?. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micado Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Nope don't have them. Everything of the Demo is in C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive or in my My Documents\Sports Interactive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, not got that either. I doubt they're anything to do with the game. I'd check again if I were you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
We_Are_138 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I can't say they're on mine either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Wakeford Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 It is very unlikely these are from the FM demo. What are the file names? We have never ever heard or seen of things like this. The demo was trimmed down as much as possible to make downloading quicker so any unnecessary files were not included in the demo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekman Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Where did you get the demo from? I don't have anything like this on my computer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesjunior Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 The files are the Runtime & Direct X from the pop up box you get after the demo installs. I think what has happened is that the first time I installed the game it didn't install I got a popup saying that the Runtime Direct X thingie didn't have a verified MSN signature or something along those lines. I then came here looking for some ideas and found the post where it said to download them direct from MSN downloads which I did and then installed them. I tried again to install the strawberry demo and when it came to the Runtime popup box I thought if I press cancel it will probably roll back the install and so I pressed next and a few moments later got a popup telling me that I already had a newer version of the Runtime etc installed on my machine the box then disappeared and the game had been successfully installed. It is definitely the Runtime files as I remember while watching them try to install the first time being surprised at how many there were. It seemed like they started in 2004 and then it was just one update after the other to the present day. Anyone watching their own installation must have seen the same thing.
