Demo install issue


Recommended Posts

I downloaded the client and the other files, after a computer crash, I reformatted and reinstalled windows xp sp3 and all updated.

when i try to install the demo it trys to open a webpage at fileplanet to retrieve a free product key which is fine and normal. and gives me a couple error msg's and will not install the proggy.

error #1 windows is trying to find the info at fileplanet but cannot

error #2 windows cannot execute the external program located on fileplanet

then the whole thing shuts down and fails to run.

any ideas? I have not run into this problem before.

I have seen this problem before, though I forget what exactly the problem is. I'll get back to you in a bit, I just wanted to let you know I've seen your thread.

I like your sig, btw.

Download the following RAR archive and extract it into the folder "C:\Program Files\EA Games\Earth & Beyond\" (create it if it doesn't exist already). You will need WinRAR or a similar program for this.

WinRAR:

The RAR archive of the client:

http://www.net-7.org/Client/client.rar

After you've done this, you should be able to proceed with your installation normally (using enb_up.exe, etc.). Sorry you have to download such a large file again, but this is the only way to bypass the installation process.
