Exult Windows Installer Hangs

Post by Zarlant »

Hey, I've downloaded the exult-1.2-win32 file from the website, but when I try to open the installer it hangs, and never loads up. I'm using Windows 7.

Anyone know why this might be?

Cheers,

Zarlant

The most likely cause is a corrupt download. The md5 sum I got from a working installer is

Code: Select all

You might have to clear your browser's cache before trying to download again if your md5 sum doesn't match. The following processes could also need terminated if still running.

Code: Select all

_isdel.exe
_INS5176._MP
 setup.exe
 winoldap.mod

Hey, thanks for the suggestion.

I verified the MD5 sum and it matched. I also tried terminating the processes yet it still hangs. Very strange...

You could try restarting the computer. I would suggest using the 1.4.x Snapshots instead even if you get the installer to work since it fixes a lot of things and has more features.

Hey, tried using the 1.4.x Snapshots instead and that worked. Thanks for the help, much appreciated. :)
