Pushwall Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 I've paged the guys who should know more about the launcher side of things so they should be able to give you an actual answer later, but first, since the issue happens with APB and not TSR, I have to ask: is your friend on Windows XP? If he is, then that's the problem - scripts 5.0 doesn't support it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
333ggg Posted May 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 As i was told he has win7 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Thats good, at least we can rule that out. This is a bit of a shot in the dark, as I cant read the errors.log as well as danpaul could, but try this for me: Go in that package-cache folder (i think) and delete the dependencies folder. It may not be in that folder (im away from my PC so im going from memory) but check it out and then try to install as admin again. Let us know what happens please 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Einstein Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Alright, tell him to go into the aforementioned package-cache\games\apb folder and delete the file that its failing on. In this case it looks like its the always.patch.3.0.8.0.zip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverlight Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 I found this in the errors.log file. Quote Message: Unable to erase target directory for an installation. Message: A game installation of type INSTALL failed. Reason: Failed to clean target directory And it points to this directory: D:\Games\W3D Hub\games\apb-release\data Please delete the data folder and try again. Edit: Maybe even delete the apb-release folder? Just to have a clean installation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos_Knight Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 Sup. "Недостаточно места на диске." means "Insufficient disk space". Plain and simple. So I guess the culprit is a lot simpler than anticipated. It's hard for me to tell the exact numbers, but I'd say that about double the size of Delta in free HDD space should be enough for the smooth installation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the quickest solution would probably be to clear your system restore points and run disk cleanup! If you need assistance doing those things, just let me know! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
333ggg Posted May 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Well, thnx for help, he has succesfully installed apb but, unfortunately, he cant play it cuz he cant install c++ redistributable needed to play apb due to his unupdated windows (his net connection literally is shit, so he just cant update) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 You said he's running windows 7 right? If thats the case, then he can get 90% up to date all in one go by downloading the appropriate package here. Its like a service pack, but not quite, and it contains many many updates that would have to otherwise be downloaded through the buggy update system. This is hours (possibly days) quicker than letting windows update do its "thing" and is ideal for slow connections, as long as it doesn't drop out a lot. Let us know if we can help in any other way! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
333ggg Posted May 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) Well, everything is fine now, it took a while for him to dl windows update tho thnx for help Edited May 29, 2017 by 333ggg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raap Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 If your friend is struggling with downloading something, then he won't be enjoying his online performance much due to latency and other factors. I'd state the obvious, and recommend your friend to get a decent Internet connection. A legitimate Windows 10 installation would also make life easier for gaming. But then again, by the sound of it, a whole new computer might be helpful as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
