Vista - Jaws Unleashed

03-27-2007

This Game will NOT install under Vista 32bit. Has anyone found a solution.
The installer starts, but says finished right away without copying files..

Thanks for your help

Did you try teh obvious like going to the CD rom instead of using the
auto-run feature and choosing Run As administor on the setup.exe file ?

Or right click on the setup.exe file, and choose properties and then choose,
to run as XP in compat mode ?

Right mouse click the setup.exe program and select "RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR".

I have had to do that to a few programs to get them installed...
