*not entirely sure if this is a security issue

Hi
I'm receiving the following error message when attempting to install game Company of Heroes
"error 2932 .Could not create file
C:\Windows\installer\{BA801B94-C28D-46EE-B806-E1E021A3D519}
\ARPPRODUCTICON.exe from script data. Error 131."

I tried to solve the ARPPRODUCTICON error with uniblue registry booster , but still no joy

Anyone have some ideas

cheers

Hi raycongo

Please do not create duplicate threads.
I have removed your other two threads.

Before you attempted to install the game, had you run a virus check on the system?
Did you close down unnecessary programs?

 

[raycongo]

Sorry about the duplicate threads
Thanks for removing the others

I have done a full scan, ad/spy/virus, system requirements, registry boost
, and still no idea what gives

I've mounted and burnt the file and get the same error message

 

[EAFiedler]

Sorry, I don't see much information on this error.

This thread suggests the amount of disk space may be a factor:
http://community.installshield.com/showthread.php?t=60373&highlight=ARPPRODUCTICON.exe

How much space does the game need? It will need additional room during the installation process.

Please post a HijackThis log and we'll have one of our security experts take a look at it to rule out malware as a possible cause.

 

[raycongo]

HD space is more than 25GB, so that cant be the problem

thanks for your time

no sign of any obvious malware so I'm moving this to games where it should get better help

 

[McTimson]

You said you mounted and burnt the file....what file did you mount? Are you installing this off of your hard drive, or off of a CD?

 

[raycongo]

Hi

I mounted the .iso file with alcohol 120% ; and when error message was received, i then unmounted and burnt the .iso and attempted to install from disk.

 

[raycongo]

the game, company of heroes, was downloaded from http://www.demonoid.com/files/download/HTTP/473696/9806658 ; and no other downloaders seem to have had the same problem

 

[McTimson]

Yea, that's what I thought... We don't support illegal downloading here at TSG, so we can't help you out. If you buy the game, there's a good chance it will work properly. I'm requesting that this thread be closed as it deals with illegal files.

 

[raycongo]

ok - i understand

Thanks for your help anyway

For closure, do you think its a problem with the downloaded game, or a deeper issue with my pc?

 

[dvk01]

closed for reasons previously stated

if you BUY a legal copy it most likely will work
