Can´t install the CEAW 1.06 Demo under Windows 7 (solved)

[avalanche04]

Hello to the forums.

I downloaded the "ceaw_demo_v1.06.exe". (Tried different downloads from different Filehosters)

OS = Windows 7 32 Bit

I´ve started the installer as administrator. After choosing the language a file named "error.log" is created in the folder of the installer. After that I have to kill the process (Installer) manually.

Text of the error.log:

Code: Select all

Choosing a different language don´t fix the problem.

Java Version on my machine: Java 6 Update 29

I´ve found no solution for that problem in the forums. If a solution already was posted and I missed it (english is not my native language) a link to it would be nice. Thanks for your help.

I just bought the game today. It is already patched to v. 1.12 and runs fine.

So there is no solution for the problem but the problem is solved.

If this issue is solved, please update the demo. I can't try the game because I can't install the demo due to this issue and I won't buy the game without trying the demo. I imagine I'm not the only one. Thanks

I agree. I am tempted to pick up this game, but the demo not working is very off-putting.

Shame as out of the strategic European games I've looked at, this is the most appealing one... but without a working demo to try it out, I am unlikely to buy it.
