PR install exe not being recognised on vista

[JacktheStripper]

Hi there,

im trying to install project reality on my friends PC and hes got vista,

currently im taking my downloaded PR files (core and levels) around to his house on a penstick and copying them onto his cpu and trying to run them from there

but this is where the problem is, every time i double click the core.exe nothing happens, task manager doesn't even register it as a loading process, but it does sometimes completely crash and freeze the computer

the computer is dual core, has a good gfx card and plenty of ram so its not the cpu spec, im wondering if there is a C++ for vista or something which may be the problem?

any ideas will be appreciated,

cheers

It is important to only start the installer ONCE. The files are compressed and as you know the archive is over a gig! It took me (AMD 4800x2+ 2 gigs ram) a little over 10 min. to see the install window open for Core and a little over 5 for levels. If you are taking longer than that try rebooting and just open the installer after you reboot and the system is fully loaded.(+4 min?)
If it still doesn't work try a new download.
Your org. maybe corrupted.
