21:34.05lol_uWindows XP SP2
21:34.41Winnycan you elaborate on "Itsays error copying"?
21:34.43spldarto_O
21:35.11lol_uok when I try to install to the C Hard Drive
21:35.28WinnyYou're not installing to Program Files?

21:36.28lol_uError
21:36.31lol_uopps
21:37.03spldartDid you find your problem?
21:37.13spldartWas your dlownload of bzflag finished?
21:37.17lol_uError Opening file for writing:   C:\program files\BZFLAG2.0.10.bzflag.exe
21:37.28lol_uclick Abort, retry, or ignore
21:37.33lol_uthats what it says
21:38.09Winnyare you sure you're running as admin?
21:38.16Winnysounds like a permissions issue
21:38.17spldartSo the install process created the C:\program files\BZFlag2.0.10 dir?
21:38.19lol_uyes
21:38.32lol_uNo its trying but does not succeed
21:38.46spldartSo it can't even create the directory to put the files in?
21:38.49Winnyso it's a permissions issue
21:38.50lol_unope
21:39.07spldartCan you MANUALLY create a folder in your program files dir?
21:39.12lol_uI just went to User account and controls and it says I am administrator not Limited account
21:39.17lol_ui can try
21:39.47Winnydid you buy this computer used? I'm wondering if some viruses/spyware are doing something
21:39.56lol_uno brand new
21:39.56spldartGood thought
21:40.02lol_uDell
21:40.10lol_uDell Dimension E521
21:40.23Winnydid you try creating the folder manually?
21:40.28lol_uyup
21:40.31spldartand

21:40.34lol_unope
21:40.40lol_uust tryed as we speak
21:40.41spldartYou don't have admin ability
21:40.43lol_ujust*

21:40.59spldarthuh?
21:41.00Winnyno.
21:41.03spldartfail
21:41.05spldartdont
21:41.08lol_uI dont have any files
21:41.09WinnyRun a virus scan or something
21:41.19lol_uI JUST opened this computer like 3 hours ago
21:41.23lol_uand Im using AVG FREE
21:41.29lol_ufor virus
21:41.52Winnyupdate it and run a scan
21:42.07Winnyassuming it can even find the problem - if the problem is a virus
21:42.08lol_uit says no updates available.......
21:42.27Winnybut if you're running as admin then you should be able to write to the directory.
21:42.36lol_ui know
21:42.43lol_uand theres only 1 account on this computer
21:42.48lol_uso I know for sure I am admin
21:42.52spldartDo you have a user on this machine that also has admin status?
21:42.57lol_unope
21:43.00lol_uthis is MY computer
21:43.05lol_ubought it with my money.
21:43.09spldartOk...
21:43.16lol_uall other installations worked
21:43.26spldartHave you tried loggin in as the administrater instead of the user?
21:43.29lol_ulike Firefox and media player
21:43.34lol_uyes
21:43.44lol_ui tried almost any possible way
21:43.48lol_ueven on safe mode
21:43.54lol_uw/networking
21:44.28lol_ujust to let you know Bzflag works on my other computers
21:44.39lol_uso I think i'll just reinstall it's no problem
21:44.56Winnyyour time
21:44.59Winnyhave fun wasting it
21:45.02spldartIn that case I don't have enough data to provide any further assistance. Sorry. I know XP pretty good and can't think of a reason for this behaviou other than a virus or something
21:45.10lol_uits ok I have time to spare. all my friends are out of town anyway
21:45.32bradso firefox and 'media player' managed to create a directory in program files but bzflag can't?
21:45.33lol_uit's ok guys you tried. You were good helpers thanks!
21:45.37lol_uyeah
21:45.55brad22:37:09 < lol_u> Error Opening file for writing:   C:\program files\BZFLAG2.0.10.bzflag.exe
21:46.00bradthat doesn't look right
21:46.09lol_uprobably misspelled
21:46.13bradah :P
21:46.17lol_ubut its exactly what it says
21:46.27bradBZFLAG2.0.10.bzflag.exe - it says that ?
21:46.31lol_uyup
21:46.43lol_uok I just did a quick scan and says no virus
21:46.52lol_uI only have 4 apps on this computer
21:46.58lol_uso it was fast
21:47.05bradshould that not be BZFLAG2.0.10\bzflag.exe instead of BZFLAG2.0.10.bzflag.exe
21:47.12Winnycould be some dell crap
21:47.18lol_uhaha
21:47.35Winnydisable AVG and try installing it... AV programs can interfere with stuff
21:47.38Winnybut it's unlikely
21:47.38lol_uI wanted to make a custom made computer again like my old one but didnt want to bother again
21:47.42lol_uright ok
21:47.51lol_uhold on and i'll disable the firewall
21:47.56Winnyno
21:47.58lol_uok
21:48.05Winnyfirewall has nothing to do with internal things
21:48.05lol_uBe right back then
21:48.17Winnya firewall protects your computer from malicious internet connections
21:49.08spldartshould be C:\Program Files\BZFlag2.0.10\bzflag.exe
21:49.41lol_u>should be C:\Program Files\BZFlag2.0.10\bzflag.exe< Thats what I meant
21:50.01lol_unope still doesnt work
21:50.51lol_uIt's ok guys. Thanks for your time anyway. Good luck with the 3.0 project!
21:51.17lol_uThanks Winny, spldart, and brad.
21:51.33lol_uBye!
