Fallout Tactics installation error

Post by Ramiel_05 »

When I try to install Tactics on my machine (Windows XP Pro) it gives me an error (#106) when trying to install the file 'spr mechanical_0.bos' The installation will continue normally but skips 6% on the installation progress bar. Just as the installation is completed it crashes and when I look on my computer nothing has been installed at all. Any ideas why?

You'd think that by then you'd understand that you SHOULDN'T play this game.

It's a last-ditch attempt by the developers to stop you from playing this atrocity.

How many times have your tried to install?
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

When you say nothing has been installed at all do you mean of the whole game or just that file?

I had problems with that file as well, looking at it in winzip it kept telling me that one of the sprite files was corrupt but I was able to do a manual install from a different drive though this was under 98SE.

If you can install the rest of the game you might be able to do a manual install from a different drive, if you don't have another cd drive ask a friend if you can install it on their pc, extract all the contents (keeping the folder names) and then copy them to a cd.

If none of the game installs at all remove the cd, take all the cds and case outside, get a sledge hammer and pound them until they've been ground to dust.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
