installation setup

[Guest]

Hello, Iam very frstrated and I need some help. Everytime I install fs2002 it gets to 48% and then a screen pops up and says... * Set up failed to extract files from M:/GMAX.CAB. This is most likely caused by low memory( low disk space for swapping files) or a corrupted cabinet file.* Now i don't have any idea what to do to fix this problem, I already tried clearing out memory by clearing out some space on my hard drive. Do you guys have any ideas? Chris

Chris,You don't specify your system. What are your computer spec and which version of windows. It would be much easier for folks to help you if you could supply that information.Regards,

Well I mean I have had fs2002 installed before.. and worked just fine. But then i just downloaded back on my computer and this problem is coming up. I have a pentium 3 700 mhz 128 ram

Chris,Try cleaning your CD Rom drive. Also, if you have the available disk space, you could try copying the CD's to the hard drive and installing from there!Only ideas I have...Regards,

I seem to have run into this problem after upgrades. I have a completley new 80 gig hdd to install it onto, and the other specs are:AMD Athalon 2200+ 1.81ghz1.0 GIG of ramWindows XP HomeRadeon 9800pro 128mb vid cardInstalls to 6% and then shoots back:"Setup fails to extract files from e:/msgame1.cab. This is most likely caused by low memory, low disk space for swapping files, or a corrupted cabinet file, please restart your machine and run setup again"I changed my page file cache up and made 4 of them, on different harddrives, and reset and tried again after shutting down Firewall and Antivirus and then it got up to 21% but stopped again at msgame2.cabTrying out putting the disks on HDD now....
