Neji Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 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? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev93 Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 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? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 That's a good point - I think IntallAnywhere does need java but I'm not 100% sure. Worth updating to see though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev93 Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 Can u send me a link to a succefull java download Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Is the game a downloaded version or the CD version? You can get java from here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neji Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 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.

Neji Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp Navigate to that folder. The Administrator folder will be the username you use on your PC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neji Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 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'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev93 Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 Yeah iv got it now, but no fm set up is in it, any other suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 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.
