Vista - Assassin's Creed on Vista x64 ?

**Tricky** · 07-15-2008

Hi,

When I try to install Assassin's Creed, I get this error:

I've contacted Ubisoft support, but they don't seem to be able to help.
Is there a workaround for this error ? I've already tried installing it on a computer with Windows XP Pro x86, a cmd just popped up with no text and closed again.

Surely VIRUS.

Seems suspicious to me - I installed and ran Assasins Creed on my x64 system with no problems or warnings.

Try running the installation manually. The demo file is probably an autostart file and there may be a way around it. Look at the contents of your autostart file.
Take a screen shot of the cd file open. Take a screen shot of the files inside the root directory of the disk. I dont think this is a virus.

I can't find a reason for it to be a virus, when it's a retail DVD.

I've already tried running setup.exe.

Also, here is your screenshot:

It Showing As 16BIT EXE File. Maybe File Is Corrupted Then. Is It Working On Other PC?

Yours has the same file listings as mine does, with the exception of the setup.exe file - mine shows the InstallShield installer icon and has a Windows UAC Shield icon on it...

Try taking it back for a replacement. If johns has different file listings it may be a slightly older version of the disk. Yours has a demoshield while johns has an installshield.
