Tech question for the computer people

BradicusMaximus

So I asked about this on the MMO section since this is what it pertains to buuut nobody bothered giving me an answer. Basically I got a beta code to the mmo Rift from a friend, made an account, entered the beta key and awaited my invitation. Eventually get the invitation and am prompted to download the client. Its just a 120Mb beta installer so it doesn't take longer than 30 seconds, I open it up and am asked what language I prefer, choose English and off we go to the Install Wizard. About 3 seconds into the extraction process I get a 1152 error code - stating that something flubbed up during the extraction process. I'd quote it word for word but I'm at work. From what I've been reading, I'm under the impression that its a problem with my computer rather than the client. Any ideas?

Er, have you tried downloading the installer again?

BradicusMaximus

Probably should've stated that, but yes. More times than I can count.

Firewall, possibly? Check that the installer isn't blocked. With that small of an installer for an MMO, it's really a downloader/install, so if it can't connect, it won't install.

I'll be sure to try that when I get off. I also sent in a support ticket to the site. But since they're working out kinks with the servers and what not since beta just opened up again I might be waiting a while for a response.

Try deleting all the temp files in the temp folder.

Follow the steps to clear the temp folder:

· Click on the Start button and in the Search bar type in %temp% and hit ENTER.

· When the Temp folder opens up, press Cntrl + A and then press Delete



Also Download and Install the latest version of the Windows Installer. Download the file from the below link and Install it.

Sadly none of that worked :[

Try "running as administrator"

BradicusMaximus

Didn't work either. Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'm just gonna have a friend come over and transfer the entire client to my comp from his lappy after he gets off work.

Al_wat

hmm

do you have anti-virus software running?

if you do and you're still willing to try again, disable it or close it altogether and then try installing. Might work.

BradicusMaximus

Nah, I turned off all that crud after the 3rd or 4th try.

I would suggest going to the rift beta forums if you can.

Other people may have had the same issue and may have already found a solution.

Lol funny story about that. I blame it on the beta event but the forums have been acting so wonkey, they're getting hammered to hell and back. I'm truly amazed I was able to submit a ticket.
