Racing Academy install?

[altecsole]

I'm trying to install Racing Academy from NestFuturelab, but I'm having some problems getting it to run. Has anybody else installed this software?

Errrm. Your link points to Microsofts' homepage.

@Dos_Box: No it doesn't... it simply doesn't work!

I edited the URL for everyones sanity .

I've installed it here and it's fine. The sound effects are nice. If you like clicks.

What are the install problems you are having?

[altecsole]

The program won't start. It's a problem to do with direct3D - it complains at startup. DirectX 9.0c is installed and direct3D test works in dxdiag.exe.

 

Sorry about the mangled url I posted.

have you tried it on more than one pc? i.e. on a different model to the one you tried it on

 

I've found programs in the past *coughs "kudos" hehe* that refuse to install on a networked pc, especially when using folder redirection for the Start Menu in some cases.

 

Odd though about a direct3D error. Have you tried updating the gfx drivers too?

A bit off topic, but ive got a network installation of kudos 5 running perfectly, with folder redirection... all i did was completely ignore the instructions and do it my own way and it worked (nearly) first time, i just needed an update from CASCAiDs website and to set some manual folder perms on the userdata folder....

 

As for the Direct3D error, could you post what it actualyl says, try narrow down the problem.

Update the Direct X 9c

 

As for Kudos 5 Works well here with folder redirecton

[tarquel]

still waiting for this years kudos from powys' careers dept.....

 

*whistles to himself*

 

how similar to last years version is it? I ended up making a tidy install for it

 

if its similar - same process will work - shall make ya a copy of the script and info on what to do if folk are interested
