Mass Effect Installation Issue

Having an issue with the mass effect installer. Every time I run it, it crashes after hitting "I accept". The problem is the program that requests your game key pulls up a runtime error every time it's activated. Anyone know how to deal with this?

Just go into the game root folder and find the MassEffect.exe and run it. It will bypass the launcher and run the game. You only need the CD Key it you want to register your game to get some goodies, goodies which are no longer avavible I might add.


 


In my case it was Mass Effect/ Binaries/MassEffect.exe


 


That's what I did.

I'm not trying to run the game. I'm trying to install it.

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.

Your best bet would to be place the Mass Effect disk in the drive and install the DirectX software with the game.


 


However I do remember at some point Mass Effect 1 and 2 both become incompatible with Vista.

Yeah, I had it installed until a few days ago. I accidentally one of the armor files, and decided it would be easier to reinstall than to search through the disk for the file I needed. Ironically, I now know where the file is located after attempting a manual install.

Last trick I can think of is the tried and true method of pulling out all the files into a temporary folder, and running the installer from there. I'll post back with the results and mark the thread if it works.

I'm retarded. Issue has been resolved. Don't ask about it, isolated incident, none of you should ever have to deal with it.
