Technical Support (Path of Exile 1) - Unable to install the game - Forum

I haven't played for some time (since Delirium according to my characters)and decided to jump in before Expedition launches but the standalone installer gives me this error: 0x800700e8 - The pipe is being closed. Any ideas?

That could be an issue with the Digital certificate. Try turning off your antivirus completely while installing.

I'm one of those reckless/irresponsible people that don't run any antivirus programs at all. I have Malwarebytes but it's turned off. Thanks for the advice anyway.	Posted by Grudge13#0438 on Jul 18, 2021, 10:32:21 AM Quote this Post
I decided to try and instal the game on Steam and try it that way before I reinstall windows as the last option. Will I be able to log into my account from Steam or do I need to make a new account?	Posted by Grudge13#0438 on Jul 19, 2021, 2:36:39 PM Quote this Post
