Reinstalling Errors :(

[Burcol]

Hey all...

After a 2 year brake, I decided to start playing JKA again, but, when I try to install it again, it won't let me. I go on to My Computer and click on the JKA logo and it says Runtime Error. So, when I try to UNINSTALL it from the control panel Add or Remove Programs, it says theres no Support File.

Please, please, please can someone help me?

Let me see if I got this right. You are trying to install the game which is already installed? Do you have legal or pirated copy of the game? Did you manually remove some file(s)?

[Burcol]

Yes, my game is a legal copy. It's already installed, but when I play the game in this message comes up:

Guru meditation failure!

Assertion Failed: "LecSetup_GetSetup(g_Env["DataDir"],&m_PlecSetup)"!

File: Sourch/lfx_System.cpp
Line: 231

Abnormal Termionation.

Select Eetry fort an environment dump.

Then there are 2 options, Retry or Cancel. When I click on Retry, nothing happens.

I have no idea whatthis "LecSetup" file is... meaby I need to downlaod it from somewhere?


So, I thoguht if I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it, it would work. But when I go to Control Panel, Add or Remove Porgrams and click on Remove, this message comes up:

(The InstallShield Wizard comes up for a second, then this comes up:"

An installation support file could not be installed.

The system cannon find the file specified.

Again, do I need to install a support file?


Please help i'm a noob at I.T.

Take a look at this thread and see if you can find something helpfull.

Jedi Academy is screwed up... bad

In the meantime, I`ll keep looking. I remember an old thread here about that Guru meditation failure thing. I`ll try to find it.

EDIT:
Eureka! Guru meditation failure

Obviously the Raven programmers have some weird sense of humour.

I've been told to go to Start, Run and type in REGDIT. I've doe that then this black screen comes on. When I click + this message comes up:

16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem

C:\WINDOWS/system32/REGEDIT.com
The NTVDM CPU had encountered an illegal (wtf) instruction.
CS:0f38 I[:8edb OP:0f 0a 01 38 0f Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.

Close Ignoe

Help anyone?

Thanks

REGEDIT, not REGDIT. I assume it`s just a typo. So, you`re saying that you can`t get to this:

Spoiler:

[Burcol]

I've typed that, but a black field comes up and when I click +, nothing happens.

[Tricorder]

Could you please take a screenshot of your Registry and post it here like I did? Maybe I`ll know more if I see it with my own eyes.

I'll get a pic uploaded later, internet is failing in my area
