Can't install BVE 4

[Joao_CG]

I know this was asked a million times, but I can't
be able to install BVE 4.
It says the .msi Windows Installer package can't be opened.
I have installed MS .NET Framework v1.1 in English, because I still
use BVE 2.90 Beta here. My regional settings is set to english language, although my Windows (98SE) is in Portuguese.
Will I have to install the Japanese version of MS .NEt Framework,
as per indicated in Mackoy's site?
Any help is very appreciated, thanks in advance.

Rgds,

Hi Joao,

I can run BVE 4 beta using the Italian version of MS .net frameworks libraries, so I don't tink this could be the problem.

I also suppose you already have the "Windows installer for .msi files" working on your system, if you are using the last BVE 2.6.3 version, becouse it comes with an .msi installation file.

However I had the same problem on my Windows 98 1st edition being on my country pc, on wich BVE 2.9 had been succesful installed.

The only way to have Bve 4 beta workig on it under Win 98, had been to manually overwrite the files of 2.9 version being in the mackoy\BVE.NET folder with those ones installed in another partition of the same computer booted running Windows XP...

Cheers,

RE: Can't install BVE 4

I had the same problem when I tried to install it on 98SE.

However, I got it to work by downloading the Japanese language support for Internet Explorer 6.0 - it asked me when I went to Mackoy's site.

There's probably other ways to get Japanese language support on your PC, but the one for IE is the only one that I'm familiar with.

So give that a go!

Regards.
