Installation error
« on: May 11, 2011, 02:21:57 pm »
Hello all. I get an error during the installation of planeshift, It stops at Installing VC++ 8 Runtime and gets the error "There has been an error. Error running c:\Program Files\PlaneShift/vcrdist_x64_08.exe /q : Program edned with an error exit code. The application will exit now." Does anyone know why its doing this?

You seem to try to install the 64 bit version of PlaneShift; are you absolutely sure that you have a 64 bit Windows? If not, better try the 32 bit version, it is probably compatible enough to run on both 32 and 64 bit Windows versions.

If the installer doesn't work even after repeating the installation after a reboot, you may download a matching Visual C++ 2008 Runtime from Microsoft and try to install that, then PS again.

Hello,

I just wanted to thank you for that awesome tip. I was having the same issue as the Op and your tip fixed it. Thanks again.  \\o// ;D
