Deadly_Nightshade Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 I'm trying to install BGII but keep getting "Error number: 0x80040707" - any ideas? I'm almost positive the game used to work perfectly too, so this is a bit odd. "Geez.

Gorth Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Hmm, the obvious First Aid (Google) wasn't much help. Seems like a typical installer error, installing software with insufficient permissions. You run everything as Administrator? The other search resultes said something about bad registry entries. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted March 18, 2010 Author Posted March 18, 2010 I'm running the installer with administer rights and in a compatibility mode, as for the bad registries I found those links too but I was hoping that someone here, seeing as this is a hotbed of BGII fans, would know a fix.

This is a lukewarm bed at best. Refer to Spellhold Studios.
Gorgon Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 Disable user accounts or whatever it's called. It's where you manage logons in the control panel, and they can be turned off. Supposedly that solves certain installation problems. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
