I purchased the game from capcom site ( digital download ). When I click on the Flock_Digital_Download.exe file to start the installation, I get the Installshield popup select the language choice, At that point it gives error 1628:Failed to complete Installation. Running Windows XP SP3 Tons of room on HD's C:\10G freespace. D:\Temp folder is located 15G freespace. I cant even get the game to install.

That's really weird... I suspect a corrupted download. Try deleting that installer download, clear your internet cache, and redownload the install. Disable any download accelerators or anything that might mess with the download. |

same issues as others on this forum... NOWHERE did it say to disable flashget download manager.. It says I have downloaded it 23 times, maximum is 15. I havent even been able to get it installed ONCE! BOTH times it gave that same error message 1628 Failure to complete install... Now I cant download a game I purchased and emailing digital river should be CAPCOM's ISSUE not someone else's...

Managed to FIX this on my own. NOW REMEMBER this is a brand new clean install of XP with ALL updates including SP3, from MS. Operating System:Windows XP w/SP3 and all drivers updated. 2 things I had to do: From MS website d/l Windows Installer 4.5 Redistributable make sure to get correct one for your OS!! URL - www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx... Control Panel ->Administrative Tools -> Component Services -> Restart Windows Installer Service AND set it to automatic, normally on manual, REBOOT PC. This FINALLY allowed on a CLEAN INSTALL OF XP, the game to be installed properly. What a joke ! For some poor smuck who doesnt know a thing about their OS, to have to go thru this to Install this purchased game ! |

Hi Pakrat, two things: 1) You should really just uninstall flashget -- it works by draining server resources and stealing them away from other users (by starting dozens of concurrent downloads when one would suffice). There's a warning on the download page not to use download accelerators, but I can understand you missing it as understandably you would just click download instead of reading the text on the download page -- I know I've been guilty of this myself in the past. :) 2) Thank you for posting the solution up here, it'll benefit any other users who stumble into this problem. |

your welcome, and flashget is gone off my system for sure. Glad I was able to use an already downloaded file that it wasnt corrupt and just a stupid MS MSI installer issue. |

Now the ONLY issue is it won't uninstall, & I'll loose one of my activations. Just too many OS issues that have come up with corrupt files here and there. Prompting me to completely reinstall my OS after a reformat of the HD.

Actually, you don't have to worry about activations anymore. You'll want to have your original installer files saved off somewhere before refomatting though Edit: Also, don't forget to back up your My Documents\Flock folder so you keep your progress and maps. Actually, you probably want to back up your entire My Documents folder ;) |

Thanks for verifying that ( activation thing ).. I always have my documents / cookies / favorites / temp folder etc moved from original location over to a strictly programs drive ( seperate partion ) that way IF i have to reinstall OS all my favorites etc are safe. I just reassign the location to them after a reformat / reinstall. Keeps the OS drive smaller and that way The ONLY thing that goes onto the OS drive is what I cant tell it NOT to install there. ( windos updates etc ) Everything else goes onto the programs HD. Really keeps the system flying very smoothly. Looks like i picked up a trojan of some kind that kaspersky didnt pick up on and it started really messing up my system drive. Oh well it was time for a fresh install to get rid of all the clutter that takes over a system after a few years.
thanks for the response.
