OK, so, I tried to install B21, and it really isn't working well for me. Before anything, I'm attacked by errors which say
Code:
Error opening file for writing:
C:\blahblahfilepathhere\fmod.dll
..with the options Abort, Retry, Ignore.
If I ignore the message, I get similar errors with
libcurl.dll and
Cortex Command.exe.
I've tried running the installer as administrator and whatnot, but I get identical results no matter what I try.
If I DO let the installer finish by just ignoring the files it cannot edit, I can run CC, but when I try to play the tutorial mission I get an error which cites,
Code:
The instruction at 0x00572858 referenced memory at 0x00000000. The memory could not be read.
Click on OK to terminate the program
I can get into the initial set-up for skirmish but as soon as I try to open the selection wheel to do anything, it dies with a similar complaint.
Help on this issue would be much appreciated.
EDIT: Found that CC crashes on exit leaving a bunch of copies of the process running. Squelching these and restarting the installer fixes the file-access problems, but I still can't play the game.
POST-EDIT: I suppose I should add that I'm running Vista 32-bit, if it matters.
