Troubles Installing CNC3

[Morphius]

I'm trying to install it and I keep getting an error message which looks like this.

Error 1322. A portion of the path exceeds the length allowed by the system.


Any ideas what this is and how I can get around it?

It's a legal copy, on an original disc.

Copy/paste of other topic.


Try this:

download msiBlast



1. Double click on the downloaded msiBlast.exe file to run the executable.

2. Choose the Show NI Installers Only selection.

3. Using (Ctrl+Left Mouse Click) select all C&C3 Software that appears in MSIBlast.

4. Uninstall all of the C&C MSI Registry entries.

5. Maintenance Mode will open the Installer Program and allow the user to modify the installation. To open the installer do not enter anything in the Command Line Arg? Dialog box.



Just to try something

With help from Vrizslar I have managed to do it, if anyone else gets this just go to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...fc-5f56-4a38-b838-de776fd4138c&DisplayLang=en

then just follow it through download and install and hey presto!

You need a genuine copy of windows

It may be a flaw with windows and file path lenths. There is a character limit of 150 iirc.

your install directory could be something like

c:\program files\games\NakedDadPictures\ArseShots\SonPleaseDontAccessThisFolder\Command and Conquer ooh i have a long name to install all my files oohhh
