Installing SE IV on New Machine. What a Nightmare
 

So I install SE IV Gold onto my new machine. Download the latest seiv patch and guess what.... the damn thing won't install because it cannot find SE IV deluxe. Motherf***er.

You need to get the gold to deluxe patch. Patches after that one do not include the gold to deluxe update because it makes for a huge download and people who don't need it shouldn't be forced to download that much. It's over 70 megabytes and is located here, among other places.

Ya I finally figured it all out. What a head ace. Now I am finding that the latest planet image pack is corrupted. Need to figure out how to get those.

From which mirror? I just checked the one from SEnet and it is fine.

I got it from se.net I will redownload it and see if that corrects the problem. Most likely just a bad download.

Nope, keeps telling me that I do not have permission to do what it is I am doing. I took a screen cap.

Is the write-protect toggle on on the files? It happened to me once after a reinstall.

Otherwise it could be that you need to reboot because windows thinks the installer is still using those files.

Or an issue with the windows policy editor not giving you power of the files. You should be unable to move or delete any of the files in that folder if it's the case.

Nope... the other packs all installed just fine. I try to unzip even to blank folder or desk top, get the same error.

Is your C drive nearly full? Winrar extracts archives to your temp folder, then moves the files to the destination once it validates that they all extracted correctly from the archive. (Note that this can be disabled somewhere in Winrar's settings.)

No the drive is not any where near being full. The system is new. The drive has nearly 900 gigs left. It is the only archive that is doing this. odd.
