Can't install game

April 20, 2009 8:20:01 AM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

I bought the game digitally yesterday. It finished downloading, started extracting files and then I got an error message saying that I don't have enough space. I had about 10 GB free at the moment. I clicked Ok and the game remained 'Installing'. When I tried closing Impulse I got a message saying that Impulse couldn't exit at the time. I had to use the task manager to close it. I opened Impulse again, and it started downloading all over again. When it finished, got the same error. Extracting files, then not enough space. I've had my anitivurus (avast!) off the whole time too. Anyone know what's going on?

 

Thank you.

Do you have multiple drives? If so, you may need to set all of the folders (download/temp) to the drive with enough space in Impulse's preferences (click the Impulse logo button at top left). Demigod takes a total of about 8GB during the install process (downloaded package+unpacked install files+actual game installation).

Yeah, I have all the folders set to D, where I had 19GB free before this third intent. Downloading again, hoping it will work.

Run an application called CCleaner - it will remove specified temp files, and reclaim any space back that windows doesn't need anymore

I got the error again... as I said, I had 19GB free. What the hell's going on here?

Are you running the install file from your My Documents folder?

Check the download location, and move it to your root D:/ drive. I had another game that would not install properly even though I had 579GB free, merely because it was in My Documents when I ran it.
