Installation Errors... help please!

Sorry If i've any faults, im not english speaker.

I've tried installing the game manually and with the gameforge installer, i've disabled the windows firewall and the antivirus and there is no way.


In EVERY archive I install an error is showed, it sais to me that the archive is damaged and i've no idea what to do...


I've comproved that all bin files are the correct MB size and they are so... What can I do more?


Thanks for helping!

Sounds like a corrupted dll for Microsoft Runtime Library. Google search for "msvcr80.dll". I see a bunch of discussion on how to fix it, but they are in English, so probably not easiest for you to follow. Still, I imagine there are pages in your language discussing repair methods.

I'd imagine one of the buttons on the dialog is to 'Ignore' the error, or something like that. You should make a not of which file is not installing and you can probably track down a copy of the file online. This will work fine for the Microsoft C Runtimes, but for actual game files, it will be another matter entirely.

The problem looks more like a corrupted download and you'll have to re-download the broken file(s). Check the Manual Download links in my signature. Inferiority says all the download files are 1Gb in size, but the exceptions are the first and last files. The first one is a tiny fraction less than 1Gb and the final one in my working download is 158Mb.

Please check the file sizes match and if you find one that doesn't, you should attempt to re-download that file.

I've encountered this problem aswel and made a note on it on the EU forum.

Doing it the way Ycranos mentions worked totally fine and, in my opinion, works better then with the game forge live client.

For the downloading itself, you could try the 3 options that are given to download but the gameforge servers to download from work the best, so i'd sugest to download them from there as otherwise it would take hell of a time with the other share sites.
Take in note the downloading itself might go fast, the patching itself AFTER the download takes some time.

Not in my experience (or experience of a friend who recently reinstalled). GF links have resulted in numerous corrupted downloads. The share sites, while they are much slower, are more reliable. Might have something to do with where you are compared to the download servers.

Agree with rest of your message, though.

To the best of my knowledge, all of the links provided in the thread in question (/http://board.us.runesofmagic.gameforge.…0-6-rom-client/) are located in Europe. The Frogster.Online links are in Germany.

As Inferiority recommends, temporarily disabling your anti-malware program and, possibly, any 3rd-party firewall (the MS Firewall that comes with Windows 7/8/8.1 seems to be safe enough to remain enabled) will help greatly. But if you have a dodgy 'net connection or are using a wireless instead of a wired connection, you stand a greater chance of file corruption during the download. It would make NO difference if you are manually downloading the installation files or using the GFL game launcher/installer.
