More Computer Problems: Umineko Installation

Postby Comartemis » Mon Mar 02, 2009 4:08 pm

This morning I finished leeching a torrent of Umineko no Naku Koro Ni Episode 4--from where exactly I will not say in this thread, but if the specific file is needed I can PM the source around--and tried to install it this afternoon after I acquired the Witch Hunt English patch and Daemon Tools Lite. However the installation stops in the middle of extracting the .exe file and will not progress past that point no matter how long I leave it running. Does anyone know of a possible solution to this problem (like maybe a link to a rapidshare with just the .exe file in it)?

I'm not sure if asking about problems with files acquired through torrents is against the rules like posting torrent locations is, so I hesitate to ask this question here. However 4chan has proven to be no help to me--the update speed on /v/ pushes my post off the front page in seconds and out of the thread entirely in minutes--and I have nowhere else to turn save for here.

And before the moral watchdogs (you know who you are...) reprimand me for stealing stuff, let me make it very clear that I have every intention of purchasing a legal copy the next time I'm not flat broke, but unfortunately I'm a college student and that isn't likely to be for a while.

That kind of halt would more likely happen from some corrupt data in the information it needs to unpack as opposed to a problem with the exe. Do you have any way to validate the DL?

Shoot, forgot I'd posted this here. I actually already figured out a workaround solution by just copying all the files off of the image file and pasting them into a directory without running the installer. Works just fine, I'm on Turn of the Golden Witch already.

Sounds like someone made the image with all the data from an already expanded copy and the installer got confused attempting to expand data that didn't need that done to it.
