PB Error 5 and machine error

[RaoulJWZ]

Hello,

I am trying to install the standalone version of Project Reality.
When I do this, PB gives me the following error: "Failed to copy the file ....\BF2\pbsetup\pbsvc.exe to ...\system32\pbsvc.exe (error 5 acces denied)".
Then, when I try to start PR, I get "30: machine error" and the program immidiately quits.

I would like to fix this, so does anyone have a solution?

Many thanks in advance

Is someone able to help me?

Try to completely uninstall the game then re-install. when it asks you to install PB during the installation, skip it and dont download it. PB is not active with this game anymore and it will hopefully stop that error if you dont install it

[VirusCodeX]

just make sure to remove the game first and any folders that are left over before you re-install

just dont install punkbuster, it is no longer required for the standalone

Thanks for the reactions.
I installed PR again, but this time without punkbuster.
Unfortunately, I still get the "30: machine error"

Any other fix?

If it can't copy to system32 you're probably not installing as admin.

i'm assuming you have a genuine copy of windows and you're running with full admin on your acc.. if unsure of that, look up on how to make a windows administrator account

do you have any firewall or AV? disable them for the time being and whitelist prbf2.exe prlauncher.exe and prmumble.exe

ensure you have the latest direct x

also try this

AncientMan;2075200']Hi guys, got a potential fix for you that has worked for another person.

Please open up command prompt as an administrator
Start -> Type "cmd", then right click Command Prompt and go "Run As Administrator"

Then, paste these 4 lines line by line (right click the window title, go edit -> paste)

Code: Select all

Regsvr32 %SystemRoot%\System32\wbem\wmidcprv.dll

cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem

for %i in (*.dll) do RegSvr32 -s %i

for %i in (*.exe) do %i /RegServer

It should all execute successfully with no errors. After the last line, the Windows Management Instrumentation Tester should open. Just hit exit.

Then try running PR again. It "should" work just fine.

Let us know how you all go, if it works or didn't work. Thanks

AncientMan;2075242']In addition to the above, you can also try the following (same command prompt as an administrator):

Code: Select all

net stop winmgmt

(note, if this command asks you that additional services will be stopped, press Y and enter for Yes)

wmic /NAMESPACE:\\root path "__namespace.name='CimWin32'" delete

mofcomp %windir%\system32\wbem\CimWin32.mof

net start winmgmt

Then restart your computer.
