Hi,

I have 2 PCs, one of which Homeworld 2 installs fine on, but the other
it wont!

When i run the setup program, the system is virtually unusable for
several minutes, producing a variety of errors each time.
Such as: MSVCR70.dll is not a valid windows image, Please check this
against your installation diskette.

Its not a problem with a corrupt file, because it doesnt work from cd,
copied to HD or across the network :(

I can find no reference to this error wrt the game, so it must be a
windows problem.

On the machine that it works on, the setup program (HW2_Setup.exe) has
an icon, on the machine it doesnt install on, this file has the standard
windows executable icon.

As far as I'm aware i have all my latest drivers etc for my nVidia NF7s
v2.0 Mobo.

Anyone got any ideas?

Im baffled!

Thanks

Andrew
 
Hi Andrew Bullock,

Visit the Windows Update site to install both SP2 and .NET framework.
