If you copy the content of the cd to a folder, change the number on the directx line in the autorun.inf to 0

It should skip DirectX install.

There isn't an autorun.inf file in the disk...oh yeah and i don't have the game on Cd's but on DVD...

There has to be an autorun.inf or the CD or DVD wont auto start.


There is a safemode_inst.exe I think thats a safe mode installer, sorta like if you have problems use this instead.

[DABhand]

Have you looked in the Autorun folder?


There is an autorun.cfg also there, open it with notepad and look for


DirectXVersion=9.0c

Change the 9.0c to 0

I didn't found anything in the Autorun folder expect some icons....Oh yeah i have tried to set the autorun.exe for win2000 compability but it didn't work out...I think the game is okay because i tried installing direct9.0c from other games but it didn't work out...so the problem is with direct9.0c,,,,Help!!!

You cant have a legit version then, mine has the autorun.inf and Autorun folder with the autorun.cfg in it.

It is NOT a problem with DirectX at all, its the installer for the game. Others have had problems with it, and if its so much of an issue why havent you contacted the publisher?

I'm telling you i tried installing directX 9.0c from other game's just like Bet On Soldier and i had the same problem...Please help!!!The problem is with directX 9.0c!!

[DABhand]

Then your DirectX must not be installed right. Which is unfortunate since it wont install onto itself.


Again if you read the games' forum it will show many people with the same problem installing the game with the directx installation.

@NITROUS SYSTEM
For DirectX problems try using the 'XPLite' program to fix it. Now I havent used it personally but I have heard good things about it! You can find a fully working trial version of XPLite here. You can also read more about it at the same site. Remember I have not used it personally!! But if you have directX problems it may just help you!
Also you say you cannot see the 'Autorun.inf' file on your CD/DVD?
This could be caused by a couple of things!
Firstly try this:
In Windows Explorer, go to the 'Tools' menu, then 'Folder Options', then to the 'View' tab. Now check that the Green dot is in "Show Hidden Files and Folders".
Also whilst in the 'View' box, untick "Hide Extensions for Known File Types".
Then click the 'Apply' button.
Then near the top of the 'View' box, click the "Apply to all Folders" button.
Now you should be able to see the Autorun.inf file!
