Whenever I try to install Trickster I get this error:

Quote:

Extract: error writing to file map_dg12b.bac

Following the error, the installation stops and your only option is to close it. Is anyone else having this problem? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

redownload, use download manager

Royalty · 07-22-2006, 07:43 PM

Oh... You can't use download accelerators while downloading it?

qinrui · 07-22-2006, 08:18 PM

Yes u can.
Btw r u running low on disk space when installing it?
Coz during my first attempt i'm running out of disk space n the similar error occurred, so i juz clean up my hdd n no more error..

Yeah, I get that low disk space message too. Thanks for the help

i got the same error, the problem w/ this insallation is that when i tried to change the directory (i.e from C: to G: ) because my C: drive doesnt have enough space, so browse and then change it to G:.

What happens is that it installs right back in C: directory, you can see it by clicking "Show Details" and you can see there the "Output C:"

and then i get the low space message.

So even If You change the directory and have enough space on the other disc, You still need to have enough space on C:, right? I got the same error and Im already redownoading the client...

Kentaro, apparently so. I guess there's nothing we can do about it. I tried installing to my D drive with more than enough free space, but I keep getting low space errors on my C drive and it wont install. That's absolutely stupid. I won't be playing Trickster then... can't even install it.

FINALLY I fixed problem of needed space on C:

I had to go into the registry and change where windows puts Common files and its temporary files to partition that had over 3gb space.

To change where common files and temp files are stored go to RUN > type regedit press ok

First
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment

Change the temp directorys there to a partition that has over 3 GB

Second :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion

Change

CommomFilesDir

to a partition with a couple of gb spare

Then reset your pc

Install
Now install trickster to a drive with over 3.4gb free. (if this is same drive you put your new temp files you will probably need 6-7gb)

Might be a good idea to remember or save the original values and put them back to normal after installing.

Hope this helps some people.

Reser,

I had the same problem, but i fixed it without going into the reg.

1. Start the installation. Open C:\Prog files\common files\ in a window up as well as a folder in the larger driver (F: in my case). Also have your My Computer window up so you can keep an eye on your drive space

2. Just before you get to your maximum limit on your C: (about 300-500mb before it) cut all folders that have been fully extracted to your C: and paste them into your larger drive (F: for me).
E.g. for me i got just after Maps folder being extracted before it ran out, so i moved Maps (1gb big). I found out after i only needed to free up 200mb, duh :P

3. Keep cutting and pasting till you have enough room.

It's a bit of a messy way and it will slow your installation down a little, but it's easier than messing around with your reg. Just make sure you don't cut any folders the installation hasn't extracted to yet.
