i just got done loading the pre load for the .95 patch. All 3 parts.
So i double click on "pr_0957_full_part1of3_setup" and nothing happens. It doesnt start up or nothing. I tried restarting my computer and still cant get it to run.

Same thing for me on every PR release since I got vista.
The best way I found (just did it) is:
1:copy paste PW to a text doc (reason for this is you wont have internet wile in safe mode).
2:start in safe mode
3: install as normal from the shortcut.Should work instantly in safe mode.
4: ????
5: profit.
*edit* it is doing something when you click the shortcut it takes about an hour to launch no idea why.

I had the same problem, only it wasn't an hour, but few minutes. But eventually installer showed up (2 min delay) and I installed the game. Updated the punkbuster.
But now Installer 3 of 3 has stopped at 100%, and there's nothing happening.
Screenshot:
LOL, nevermind, there was a punkbuster installer hinding UNDER the 100% installer you see can in picture. Imma happy now!

If you experience delays opening the installer on Vista/7...
Disable UAC. Your problem will be solved and the installer will open instantly

Much more easy to just install in safe mode if like me you dont know how to or dont know what UAC is
ops:
I guess its a security check thing and windows checks the whole file before exucuting it?
Also is dissabling a security feature a good idea?
