Hello everyone,
I'm having issues installing the DMM version of the game. I skimmed through a decent portion of this thread and google but couldn't find anything similar to my problem. I've also bought KP off DMM and didn't have any issues so I was hoping someone could help me here (this is the largest forum I've found for Illusion games lol). I've downloaded all 4 files from DMM just fine and ran the .exe to extra them, that goes fine. When I try to run the Startup.exe, it gives 3 options in non-readable text (not English or Japanese but random characters): one for the manual, one for presumably the installer, and one for the website. Since the middle option wasn't doing anything, I go into the setup subfolder and try to run setup.exe, it also does nothing except act like it's launching. The IllusionAI.msi installer in that subfolder works fine and will start to install the game but always stops after a bit giving an error about the Data1.cab file either not being present or having permission issues. I've done all I could with different locations, running as administrator, and messing with permissions but nothing seems to work. Anyone have any advice? Would be greatly appreciated.
Also, if this isn't the appropriate area to ask just let me know and I will edit out my question and post it where it should be. Just not sure where else I should turn.
EDIT: After messing around with settings for a few days in total, I managed to get it working. Leaving instructions up incase it helps someone:
Clean download (4 files for game) using Chrome on DMM
Download sdrt program from same download page
Change all zip files and the game's exe to full administrative permission
Run the .exe file to extract all the files. Make sure the files go into a clean file path that has no Japanese characters or other characters. Can only be numeric or English
Go into setup folder and change all the permissions on the .cab files and the .msi to administrative permission for all users
Run IllusionAI.msi file and it should work
Don't know why it worked the last time since I did all of those on other tries but this last time did the trick. Hope it helps!
