This Game will NOT install under Vista 32bit. Has anyone found a solution.
The installer starts, but says finished right away without copying files..

Thanks for your help

Did you try teh obvious like going to the CD rom instead of using the
auto-run feature and choosing Run As administor on the setup.exe file ?

Or right click on the setup.exe file, and choose properties and then choose,
to run as XP in compat mode ?
 
Hi,

Yes Ive tried all those things. This same problem also occurs with Pirates
Of The Caribbean jack sparrow

Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
Mike
 
Right mouse click the setup.exe program and select "RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR".

I have had to do that to a few programs to get them installed...

I had the same problem but I did that :

1- I did a copy of all the 3 disks in a folder named Majesco\Jaws
Unleashed.
2- I unzipped all the CABs there and then deleted the CABs when done.
3- I moved the WMV files in a folder that I named "movie".
4- I moved the GDW files in a folder named "data".
5- I changed the "Jaws.exe" by a NO-CD fix I found on the net.
6- Like specified I did a REG file to indicate the location of the
folders
by creating a new text file and copied that:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Majesco\Jaws Unleashed]
"Language"=dword:00000409
"ExecutePath"="E:\\Majesco Entertainment\\Jaws Unleashed\\"
"MovieFolder"="E:\\Majesco Entertainment\\Jaws Unleashed\\movie"
"DataFolder"="E:\\Majesco Entertainment\\Jaws Unleashed\\data"
7- I saved it as "A.REG".
8- Did a double-click on the file to MERGE the REG file and clicked
"yes".
9- I did a double-click on "Jaws.exe" and started to play.
Simple as that. No need to install another OS to this simple task.
Basically the installer is just doing that : unzip some files in the
"Program Files\Majesco\Jaws Unleashed" folder and write the location of
thoses files in the registry. It is easy to do this manually and bypass
the dumb stuck msi installer. Now I can play the game with Vista and I
don't even have to use the CD 1 anymore to start it.
Hope this will be useful!
