Bonjour,
J´essais d´installer Area 51 sur Vista, mais impossible je galère grave !! il m´indique systématiquement que l´installation est impossible problème de comptabilité. Donc je suis allé sur différents forums mais la plupart sont uniquement anglais ce qui n´ai pas mon point fort.
J´ai trouvé ceci, qui pourrait m´aider merci:
Like many other things with Vista, I was bummed to discover the Area 51 setup would terminate when clicking next after specifying the path. I figured there had to be a workaround. I´ve seen other posts here with people reporting the same problem and no resolutions. Well, I figured out a solution, so let´s get to it!
I´m leaving out some of the minutia...if you don´t know how to create folders and set permissions, you can learn on your own like I did.
Create the Program Files\Midway Games\Area 51 folders.
Give yourself full control permissions on the Program Files\Midway Games folder
With Area 51 Disc 1 in the cd\dvd drive, open a command prompt window. Type in the letter of the drive, followed by a colon and press Enter. You should now have a prompt starting with the drive letter.
Type in the following command line and press Enter:msiexec /i "area 51(R).msi" /qb
After the installation completes, run the sfdrvup.exe file and reboot the system when prompted. The sfdrvup.exe download link is pretty easy to find on Midway´s site, but sorry I don´t have it here.
Click the right mouse button on the Area 51 icon and select Properties. Check the Run as Administrator option and click Apply\OK
The adminstrator shield almost looks like a tear drop coming out of the Alien´s eye!
I´ve seen official posts that claim Area 51 will not run on Vista.
That is not true for the 32 bit version. Even the 64 bit version should be able to run it.
Launch the game and have fun!
Why was the setup failing before?
The setup is aborting because the msi file is not digitally signed. Vista will not allow un-signed msi files to create folders in program files (or much of anywhere else for that matter). Because setup couldn´t create folders, it had nowhere to install files and therefore aborted the installation.
