"Installation Directory must be on a local hard drive"
|
When running PathOfExileInstaller.msi on a Windows 7 PC with only one hard drive, trying to install the game to directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Grinding Gear Games\Path of Exile\ produces the topic error message. I've tried several different folders including the desktop and all produce the same error.

.msi files can't be run as admin. Already rebooted, have 107 GB free, tried disabling firewall and AV with no luck.

Same result? I am assuming your WindowsInstaller 4.5 is damaged. If I am correct, you may need to usa an SFC / scannow, and/or the removal of the regkey. -Edited changed CDM to CMD OS: WinXP SP2 32bit CPU: Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Ram : 4GB Kingston PC2-6400 5-5-5-18 Mobo: Abit KN9-Sli (NF570-Sli chipset with Realtek Audio) GPU: ATI HD4670 1GB HD: Maxtor 20GB - OS - Seagate 500GB - Games / Storage / PageFile Network / ISP: Wired / Cox Cable Last edited by Greybear1andonly#1583 on May 16, 2012, 9:03:37 AM

Did you get this fixed, and if so, how?

This is how I got it to work
Force the installer to run with administrator privileges. To do so: 1. Locate the Edge Inspect MSI installer file that you downloaded. 2.While holding down the Shift key on the keyboard, right-click on the Edge Inspect MSI, then choose Copy As Path. 3. Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories. 4. Right-click on Command Prompt and choose Run As Administrator. This should open a command prompt window, labeled "Administrator:". 5. In the Command Prompt window, type msiexec /i (you need to enter a single space after "/i"). 6. Right-click in the Command Prompt window, then choose Paste. This should paste the path to the MSI file that you copied in Step 2 above. 7.Press Enter to run the command. |
