    Error on install

    Hello,

    I've just downloaded Euro Force using the EA Downloader. When I click on "Install now" (or run setup.exe in the cache directory) I get an error when the installer starts (after having chosen my language; it doesn't matter which language I choose). The error message is as follows:

    An error (-5005 : 0x8000ffff) has occurred while running the setup.
    Please make sure you have finished any previous setup and closed other applications. If the error still occurs, please contact your vendor: My Company Name.

    I've contacted the EA support, but the only person I could get on the line was someone who looked at the online help and said I should disable my virus scanner, which I obviously did already. It didn't help, however.

    Has anyone experienced a similar problem and if so, how do I fix it?

    Thanks in advance,
    Peter

      Elstonieo,

      I cleared the cache folder and re-downloaded Euro Force and now it works perfectly. Thanks so much for the advice!
