Tales of Monkey Island: Chapter 1 - Launch of the Screaming Narwhal Forum

The demo works like a marvel. Telltale's registration process fails miserably, at least as used on this title.

I'm positive every other distribution works Gold, but Telltale's Doesn't Work.

Anybody care to see a 33MB log file with +seh,+ntdll,+trace debug flags? It's kind of frustrating. They're a prolific company, and most of their games are at least Silver, but first one must get past the authorization bits, either by finding the proper dll settings, or the proper distribution.

Edit: Only the initial logging in fails.

Hi....

What are you putting into the bottle before the installer?

Cheers!

Hi, Don,

The usual: MS HTML 7, .Net 2.0, DirectX.

I tried MS HTML 6 but the downloader is offline. I also tried CX HTML IE8 mode.

MS HTML 7 seems like the best bet, though. It at least lets me put in the serial number. I tried a few different native/builtin settings for ieframe and mshtml as well.

All the attempts were with a brand new bottle each.

Thanks, Don!

I could not find a way to have that initial log-in process to fail so far, so I've written the steps to be followed in the Tips & Tricks section for now.

Once that is figured out, I still have one question:

Do we leave the crosstie in v9.1, with the Tips & Tricks URL in the Installation Notes?

Or do we change it to v10, and set the URL in the postinstallurl element?

Ummm...I think I'd leave the existing crosstie as is, and just add <postinstallurl>
(which will only get used by CXG 10+) ... then both bases are covered more or less...

...actually, looking at the load-out for this title, you can abbreviate the predeps
of (7854,directx9modern,1578) back to the single predep of 7558 (for CXG 10 anyhow,
I'm not sure if that holds true for CXG-9.x) ; if CXG-9.x needed -all- of directx
(100+mb) then so be it, but CXG-10 only needs dxwebsetup (<20mb) by the looks, and
that might be sufficient reasons to have 2 profiles, but like I say, you'd need to
establish the case ;)

That would be pretty nice. I'll install 9.1 and try it out.
