Title: I can't install.
Post by: vgmaster9 on July 23, 2003, 10:39:08 pm

Ok, so I had problems downloading PS and then getting the file and stuff but then i figured out i had to save the file to disk... but anyways, here\'s what I did.

1. Went to PS site.
2. Went to the DL (DownLoad) section.
3. Downloaded compiled file.
4. Saved to disk.
5. Accepted this thingy that popped up.
6. Decompressed files into a temporary folder.
7. WinZip popped up and a bunch of files are there.

Ok, now, so what the heck do I do now?

You downloaded five parts plus one reassembler, right? First, click the reassembler, which will create a setup-file. Use it to install PS.

I clicked the run_me_first.bat thingy, i opened it, and then this black box appears then quickly dissapears, making it almost impossible to read at least 1 letter.

vgmaster9, why \"6. Decompress\" ? If you downloaded the 5 parts, there is nothing to decompress.

Could you tell us precisely which files you have downloaded ?

And for the run_me_first.bat, you have to download it into the same directory as the 5 parts. Then, to have the time to see any message, the best is to edit it, and add one line at the end with the command pause in it.

The folder itself is called temp. all that\'s in it is the run_me_first.bat and other things that have nothing to do with PS (things like integris and stuff)


but anyways, how do u \"edit\" that message?

I got all 5 and run_me_first in the same place, now,  i used run_me_first and it says :

\"C:\\>copy /b PSV0.2.010.part1 + PSV0.2.010.part2 + PSV0.2.010.part3+ PSV0.2.010.part4 + PSV0.2.010.part5 PlaneShiftV0.2.010.exe
The system cannot find the file specified.

C:\\>pause
Press any key to continue . . .\"

Then when I press enter the box closes. What do i do now?
