Shivering Isles install PHAILLLL

Recommended Posts

So... I have Game of the Year Edition for Oblivion. Fun little problem...I ALSO have the accursed Windows 7 Evaluation Copy (and cannot, by any means whatsoever, get rid of it prior to October 22 when the upgrade actually ships)

 

Little problem I found out while installing Oblivion. Every time I try to install Shivering Isles, it CRASHES... instantly. No passing Go, no $200... as soon as I give the administrator permission to run the program, it pulls up a "Stopped responding; kill or find solution?" window and running the solution search hasn't really yielded results...

 

So...is there some OTHER way to get Shivering Isles?!

I doubt that Win 7 is your problem. I have Win7 x64 and it installed with no problems. The Win7 has been running Oblivion with SI much better that my older WinXP x32.

First, check your drivers, 7 dosn't have built in drivers for everything.

Tr installing Oblivion to a different location - where the UAC dosn't have control of what you try to do.

Mine is installed to C:\games\Bethesda\Oblivion

I'm admin and have full power over every UAC activity. If I didn't, I'd wipe the disk and reinstall 7 quicker than you can SAY "7"...

 

Anyway, I'm running it on a laptop and due to the very NATURE of my problem, installing the game under a new location is A.) impossible and B.) totally pointless, since it's the installer that's crashing. - I might be able to move it, but I'm pretty sure that would do nothing but give me a headache.

 

Either way...the drivers bit tells me I'm screwed. It's a VAIO VGN-NR220E from Sony...I've been to the drivers page numerous times and my DVD drive is still acting up (I have to use a UltraISO to play...I have both discs on here and neither the physical disc nor the ISO for SI works due to the same problem) among other problems...
