I need computer help!!!!
Can one of my computer savvy friends out there in cyber space help me!?
I bought the game Empire: Total War at Direct2Drive, wonderful download time, got the whole thing in like half an hour. But every time I go to install the game, it gets to the "Installing System Components...please wait" box, another box pops up that says "Microsoft C++ 2005 Redistributable" with the empty bar beneath it, it goes most of the way green, goes back to blank, I wait awhile, and then I get this error message: Setup Error: Failed to run install script
My only option at that point is to quit the installation. This happens every time.
So at least I figured how to post the info from the dxdiag file.
