Vindictus Forum

Hey everyone.

When installing to a new WIN XP bottle, the installer seems to hang trying to load the content of the HTML file embedded in it.

Here's some screens of what happens.

I've extracted the contents with the archive manager, and I'm going to see if the game runs just extracted. (I doubt it.)

EDIT: Trying to run the Vindictus executable directly (albeit outside of the bottle folders) just gives me an error saying the software was installed incorrectly and to please reinstall it.

Hi,

What you describe could easily be hackshield...or...sometimes
these things require mshtml7 (microsoft html rendering engine 7)
...it's in the 'Community Supported' apps section. Eventually
(supposing you get it installed) you are going to run into the
evil hackshield, and that will thwart you in the end. Oh, some
of these -installers- require one version or another of the
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime packages - these are in the 'Runtime
Support Components' area of the cxinstaller gui...

Cheers!

MSHTML7 gets the installer to work, so I'll go ahead and add that into the Tips section.

It's installing, I'll report whether the hackshield goes insane or not. I know that some games like Maple Story don't have that problem, because someone figured out how to make the shield think Wine was a legitimate copy of Windows... Well, we'll see.

EDIT: Installed, but now it doesn't run. Can't get MSIE7 to install so I can't see if using it as a launcher would work or not. (winxp)
