judetheman Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 My problem is that when i try to install fallout 3 windows security pops and says that the exe cannot be launched i managed to fix 1/2 of the problem now the install menu when you pop in the disc works but when i click install it doesnt install im pretty sure the windows security is blocking its install anything i can do to get past this problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7thsealord Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Sounds kinda like the problem is more to do with Windows Security than FO3. IF you are using Windows 7, I have heard (and I may have this incorrectly) that there are often major security problems if FO3 is installed as a Program File. Install it anyplace else, but NOT there.

bben46 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Windows security has no problems with FO3 - unless it is a pirate version. :down: The DVD will automatically install to the UAC protected program files (x86) folder UNLESS you specifically tell it to install somewhere else. The vanilla (unmodified game) runs fine there. The problems start when you try to install mods. Recommended install location to avoid UAC problems C:\Games\Fallout 3 If you use the steam version, it will automatically install to wherever your steam folder is.
