Just Bought the College Years, won't install

orton1227 · 08-11-2008, 02:11 PM

I have Vista-64. Is that not supported? Basically what happened is I try to run the EXE file to install the game and nothing ever happens. Any ideas?

Try run as administrator.

Tried that just now. It actually showed a window extracting files from the EXE file, but then disappeared and never came back. Weird. I hope I didn't waste $20.

Is there a compatibility mode available in the exe file's properties? In Windows XP, that's under the second tab on the properties window. Try running it under something else than default.

There is a bunch of options and I tried them all. Still the same result.

I'm out of ideas then. Your best bet would be to email support AT solecismic.com.

Did the demo work on your computer?

May not run on Vista-64 as this is not a 64 bit app. This is a common issue with software (older) on the 64 bit version.
