Well, if firewalls and anti-virus programs are stopping you from installing, I would just take down every single one of them temporarily and then try to install the game. See if that works.

I should have mentioned that I already tried that. As a result, the game wouldn't even launch when I double click the shortcut. No error messege appears. It just doesn't do anything.

I am at a loss.



(I wanna play the Ballistic Weapons 2.0 mod again *wah*)

I don't know. It may just not install at all. If you haven't tried everything that you could think of, do so.

im not sure how to fix it. and i dont know anything much about vista. but i have read. many people have trouble with games and other programs using av.

i do know say for instance my pest patrol corp pro. if i use it to delete a program found as a threat. it will not let the program be installed ever again. even if pp is off or deleted. the only way i can let that program install again is to undo it in pp restore or it will never work again. so. id guess if av or anything else has seen it as a threat it is blocking it.

i would google. you can search google by word or ask it a question.. like. why wont ut04 install on vista 32bit. etc etc.. or.. ut04 will not install on vista 32bit..

good luck.

ok try this.right click on the ut2004 shortcut icon and choose properties, when the properties dialog opens up choose the "compatibility" tab check mark the "run this program in compatibility mode for" and from the drop down list choose window XP (service pack 2) and see if that helps you out any..also when you do this winblows vista might pop up saying something about a compatibility issue, you can just ignore it & run the game any way.
