Wont install on my friends computer?

[mitchstar]

Hi, this is my first time posting here. I've recently gotten into the Ys series and love it so far .

So my friend and I ordered Ys Oath in Felghana and it came today. The game works great on my macbook pro with bootcamp (win xp) but it wont even install on my friends computer. It just gives an error, as you can see in the picture.

Does anyone have a solution to this?

So I copied all of my files in my FALCOM folder to his computer just to see what would happen. He can play the game using the YSF_WIN_DX9 and YSF_WIN files, but it won't let him save. Just updating, thanks for any help.

You need this directory. Make it happen.

c:\documents and settings\USERNAME\application data\falcom\ysf_win

Where USERNAME is the name of the account being used on the computer.



If that one is already there, I don't know what needs doing.

aight, last night before you posted, we changed the YSF_WIN file to run in compatability mode as if it were for XP, then we ran the program as the administrator. Saves work fine now.

So I guess the game isn't installed, really, but it works fine and so does the awesome english patch . Thanks for your help FM-77!
