I bought FarCry a few months ago and had no problems playing it. My
motherboard blew out (Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000-G) after only 60 days and I had to
install a new one (Asus P4S800D-X). All components are the same except the
motherboard. While installing FarCry, I get and error. 1628: Failed to
complete installation.
All drivers are fully updated. McAfee, MS AntiSpyware, Spybot and
SpywareBlaster are all disabled. I tried setting MSCONFIG to diagnostic mode
but got a Windows Installer error. Tried setting Temp and Tmp in System
Properties > Environment Variables to C:\Temp, C:\Windows\Temp and
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp.
My System:
Windows XP Professional OEM (with SP2 out of the box, fully updated)
Intel Pentium 4 Processor Prescott 3EGHz (not overclocked)
Asus P4S800D-X motherboard with onboard SATA controllers
Chaintech SA5700L GeForce FX5700 LE AGP 8X 256MB DDR Video Card
2 x 512MB Kingston HyperX KHX3200AK2 DDR400 dimm
2 x 256MB PNY DDR400 dimm
Barracuda 7200.7 160GB, 7200RPM, Internal SATA/150 Hard Drive (boot drive)
Maxtor 120GB, 7200RPM, Internal SATA/150 Hard Drive
Creative SoundBlaster SBLive! Gamer 5.1
Liteon 52x32x52 CD Burner
I have tried installing the game with some of these components removed with
no sucess.
Ubisoft Tech Support is no help at all on this.
FarCry is a great game and I would hate not being able to play it. All my
other games work (Deus Ex- Invisible War, Medal of Honor War Chest, Age of
Mythology, Delta Force series, etc.) but FarCry is the only Ubisoft game I
own. I have tried everything and I am unable to resolve the problem. Any help
would be appreciated.
