Posts from I can’t install Tribes of the East. Auto-translated

here's my problem...


if it's relevant, here are my computer specs:
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+
RAM: 2 GB
Video: GeForce 8600 GT 512 MB
DirectX 9 (from the game disc)
WinXP SP3

I tried installing it on another computer (weaker and with Windows SP2), and the same thing happened.

I forgot to mention, the disc is a licensed copy, no doubt about it.

Based on the error, it's clear that the disc is damaged (the files inside are corrupted). Go and exchange it! The problem isn't with the computer. I also have the GOLD edition, and everything works fine.

Shorten the name of the installation folder. For example, D:\Games\Hero5.

Judging by the error, it's clear that the disc is damaged (the files inside). Go and exchange it! The problem is not with the computer. I also have the GOLD edition, and everything works fine.

There's no need to change anything. The error appears because the file path is too long. Try the solution suggested by Alan.

If Windows still doesn't like the file extension... then I don't know. It's clear that the text after the dot is not a file extension.

Thanks to everyone, the problem was solved by shortening the file path... although everything happened very strangely: instead of the suggested folder C:\Program Files\Nival Interactive\Heroes of Might and Magic V - Tribes of the East, I specified the path D:\Tribes, but the installer decided to do it its own way and installed the game in the folder D:\Tribes\Heroes of Might and Magic V - Tribes of the East...
