21:29.44 | lol_u | Hello |
21:30.56 | lol_u | why do I have a problem installing Bzflah |
21:31.00 | lol_u | Bzflag* |
21:31.07 | lol_u | Itsays error copying |
21:32.13 | Winny | because you probably don't have permissions |
21:32.51 | lol_u | Im on admin |
21:33.00 | lol_u | its my computer i JUST BOUGHT |
21:33.06 | lol_u | (sorry for caps) |
21:33.11 | Winny | Vista? |
21:33.13 | Winny | OS X? |
21:34.05 | lol_u | Windows XP SP2 |
21:34.41 | Winny | can you elaborate on "Itsays error copying"? |
21:34.43 | spldart | o_O |
21:35.11 | lol_u | ok when I try to install to the C Hard Drive |
21:35.28 | Winny | You're not installing to Program Files? |
21:35.34 | lol_u | yeah I am |
21:35.42 | lol_u | here i'll say exactly what it says |
21:35.43 | lol_u | hold on |
21:36.24 | lol_u | ok it says |
21:36.28 | lol_u | Error |
21:36.31 | lol_u | opps |
21:37.03 | spldart | Did you find your problem? |
21:37.13 | spldart | Was your dlownload of bzflag finished? |
21:37.17 | lol_u | Error Opening file for writing: C:\program files\BZFLAG2.0.10.bzflag.exe |
21:37.28 | lol_u | click Abort, retry, or ignore |
21:37.33 | lol_u | thats what it says |
21:38.09 | Winny | are you sure you're running as admin? |
21:38.16 | Winny | sounds like a permissions issue |
21:38.17 | spldart | So the install process created the C:\program files\BZFlag2.0.10 dir? |
21:38.19 | lol_u | yes |
21:38.32 | lol_u | No its trying but does not succeed |
21:38.46 | spldart | So it can't even create the directory to put the files in? |
21:38.49 | Winny | so it's a permissions issue |
21:38.50 | lol_u | nope |
21:39.07 | spldart | Can you MANUALLY create a folder in your program files dir? |
21:39.12 | lol_u | I just went to User account and controls and it says I am administrator not Limited account |
21:39.17 | lol_u | i can try |
21:39.47 | Winny | did you buy this computer used? I'm wondering if some viruses/spyware are doing something |
21:39.56 | lol_u | no brand new |
21:39.56 | spldart | Good thought |
21:40.02 | lol_u | Dell |
21:40.10 | lol_u | Dell Dimension E521 |
21:40.23 | Winny | did you try creating the folder manually? |
21:40.28 | lol_u | yup |
21:40.31 | spldart | and |
21:40.31 | Winny | and did it work? |
21:40.34 | lol_u | nope |
21:40.40 | lol_u | ust tryed as we speak |
21:40.41 | spldart | You don't have admin ability |
21:40.43 | lol_u | just* |
21:40.53 | lol_u | ok i'll try reinstalling XP |
21:40.58 | lol_u | its new anyway |
21:40.59 | spldart | huh? |
21:41.00 | Winny | no. |
21:41.03 | spldart | fail |
21:41.05 | spldart | dont |
21:41.08 | lol_u | I dont have any files |
21:41.09 | Winny | Run a virus scan or something |
21:41.19 | lol_u | I JUST opened this computer like 3 hours ago |
21:41.23 | lol_u | and Im using AVG FREE |
21:41.29 | lol_u | for virus |
21:41.52 | Winny | update it and run a scan |
21:42.07 | Winny | assuming it can even find the problem - if the problem is a virus |
21:42.08 | lol_u | it says no updates available....... |
21:42.27 | Winny | but if you're running as admin then you should be able to write to the directory. |
21:42.36 | lol_u | i know |
21:42.43 | lol_u | and theres only 1 account on this computer |
21:42.48 | lol_u | so I know for sure I am admin |
21:42.52 | spldart | Do you have a user on this machine that also has admin status? |
21:42.57 | lol_u | nope |
21:43.00 | lol_u | this is MY computer |
21:43.05 | lol_u | bought it with my money. |
21:43.09 | spldart | Ok... |
21:43.16 | lol_u | all other installations worked |
21:43.26 | spldart | Have you tried loggin in as the administrater instead of the user? |
21:43.29 | lol_u | like Firefox and media player |
21:43.34 | lol_u | yes |
21:43.44 | lol_u | i tried almost any possible way |
21:43.48 | lol_u | even on safe mode |
21:43.54 | lol_u | w/networking |
21:44.28 | lol_u | just to let you know Bzflag works on my other computers |
21:44.39 | lol_u | so I think i'll just reinstall it's no problem |
21:44.56 | Winny | your time |
21:44.59 | Winny | have fun wasting it |
21:45.02 | spldart | In 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 |
21:45.10 | lol_u | its ok I have time to spare. all my friends are out of town anyway |
21:45.32 | brad | so firefox and 'media player' managed to create a directory in program files but bzflag can't? |
21:45.33 | lol_u | it's ok guys you tried. You were good helpers thanks! |
21:45.37 | lol_u | yeah |
21:45.55 | brad | 22:37:09 < lol_u> Error Opening file for writing: C:\program files\BZFLAG2.0.10.bzflag.exe |
21:46.00 | brad | that doesn't look right |
21:46.09 | lol_u | probably misspelled |
21:46.13 | brad | ah :P |
21:46.17 | lol_u | but its exactly what it says |
21:46.27 | brad | BZFLAG2.0.10.bzflag.exe - it says that ? |
21:46.31 | lol_u | yup |
21:46.43 | lol_u | ok I just did a quick scan and says no virus |
21:46.52 | lol_u | I only have 4 apps on this computer |
21:46.58 | lol_u | so it was fast |
21:47.05 | brad | should that not be BZFLAG2.0.10\bzflag.exe instead of BZFLAG2.0.10.bzflag.exe |
21:47.12 | Winny | could be some dell crap |
21:47.18 | lol_u | haha |
21:47.35 | Winny | disable AVG and try installing it... AV programs can interfere with stuff |
21:47.38 | Winny | but it's unlikely |
21:47.38 | lol_u | I wanted to make a custom made computer again like my old one but didnt want to bother again |
21:47.42 | lol_u | right ok |
21:47.51 | lol_u | hold on and i'll disable the firewall |
21:47.56 | Winny | no |
21:47.58 | lol_u | ok |
21:48.05 | Winny | firewall has nothing to do with internal things |
21:48.05 | lol_u | Be right back then |
21:48.17 | Winny | a firewall protects your computer from malicious internet connections |
21:49.08 | spldart | should be C:\Program Files\BZFlag2.0.10\bzflag.exe |
21:49.41 | lol_u | >should be C:\Program Files\BZFlag2.0.10\bzflag.exe< Thats what I meant |
21:50.01 | lol_u | nope still doesnt work |
21:50.51 | lol_u | It's ok guys. Thanks for your time anyway. Good luck with the 3.0 project! |
21:51.17 | lol_u | Thanks Winny, spldart, and brad. |
21:51.33 | lol_u | Bye! |
21:51.33 | brad | cu |
21:51.58 | Winny | we're not getting the full story |
21:52.00 | brad | but wait! |
21:52.01 | Winny | guarantee it |
21:52.19 | brad | Winny: user error, definately ;P |
21:52.28 | Winny | ~pebkac |
21:52.28 | infobot | PEBKAC: Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair. |
21:52.48 | brad | heheh |
