Tiberian Sun CD issue

[Insignia17]

So I downloaded Tiberian Sun from this website here, and I completely installed it.

Though when I go to play the game, I get an error message related to needing to have a CD to run it and then press OK.

I am running Windows 7 and have tried GAME.exe and SUN.exe in Administrative mode, but they do not work. Also, compatibility for 98/ ME as well.

Please help as soon as possible. I got Red Alert working and love this site for that. Don't let me down brothers!

Try this version instead: http://tore29.com/tsins/TSinstaller-beta7r4.exe

 

It's unfinished, but it might work better.

[Insignia17]

Alright thanks, trying it out now.

I have tried this just now too, and it STILL gives me:

Hmm, did you start it using the launcher?

I just found something out..

My sun Directory has like, two other sun downloads stacked.

One from my CD, which gave me the error too, then from the original Sun download, and now this one. Uninstalled ALL suns just now; trying the beta you gave me. Seeing if getting a new directory works.

[Insignia17]

"One or more of the DLL files are missing or are damaged. Re-install."

 

Why??

Used your link too, used the launcher. Same on both FS and SUN.

No CD error though. Fixed the stacked SUN directories.

[Tore]

Run the launcher as admin. If it still complains keep trying. TS is a bit finniky on first start on some PC's for some reason.

[Insignia17]

Do you think there are some actual DLL files missing that I could repair w/ a patch or download?

If not, what is another option?

[Tore]

This is a common error, there are no DLL files missing, TS just fails to register one of it's DLL files which requires admin permission (unless something actually prevented the DLL files from extracting). Like I said run the launcher as administator (right click, run as administrator).

 

Though from the icon I see in your taskbar you are not running the TS from my beta installer as that has an updated icon.

[Insignia17]

Well I try running the launcher as an Administrator every time, and the DLL error still persists.

I did indeed download from the link you provided. That should be what you gave me.

[Insignia17]

I don't install the 1.1 GB movies. Is leaving that out create an issue?

 

[Tore]

No, if it would cause an issue they wouldn't be optional.

 

Could you upload an image of the folder you installed TS?

[Insignia17]

Here you go. Desktop icon + directory.

[Insignia17]

I feel like I am going to give this a rest for awhile.

Almost lost hope in getting SUN working. I tried just running over and over again SUN as administrator so many times, re-installed a few times; nothing.

[Tore]

Try to run game.exe directly, if that doesn't work disable compatibility mode and run as administrator on it and try again.

 

Some anti virus programs can cause TS to fail registering BLOWFISH.dll too.

try the new mini Tiberian Sun for entertainment reasons! http://funkyfr3sh.cncnet.org/files/TiberianSun_Online_Installer.exe

[Nyerguds]

How about running the "game.exe" directly, as admin?

 

[edit]

 

huh, didn't see the second page

I have Microsoft Essentials, CCleaner (Not virus scanner, just disc cleaner.)

What are some known engines to do that?

[Tore]

I use Microsoft Security Essentials and CCleaner too.

 

Anti virus such as Norton and McAffee might cause problems.

 

Did you try to do what I told you by the way?

Indeed I did. Just running game.exe as an administrator did not work either. STILL "DLL files missing" which is not true.

[FunkyFr3sh]

try to register the dll manually ?

[Nyerguds]

Was starting to think in that direction as well... Tore should know which ones; he made the installer.

[Insignia17]

try to register the dll manually ?

 

Which DLL and how so?

 

[Tore]

Try running this command from a commandline with admin permissions: regsvr32 C:\Westwood\SUN\BLOWFISH.dll

 

if you installed TS in C:\Westwood\SUN

 

Remember run cmd as admin before running regsvr32 or else it won't register correctly.

[Insignia17]

Using CMD (Didn't have an option to run in Administrator mode) I hit in the regsvr32 code you told me, went back to the launcher, still "One or more DLL.." etc etc.
