Installing Deus Ex on Windows XP

OK I've tried everything I can think. The installer keeps freezeing at the very last bit. I went to the Deus Ex website, no help there and I'm still waiting on the E-mail to actavite my account on the Eidos Forums so I can't ask there yet. So I turn to you all for help.

Oh and I've tried compatibility mode too.

What exactly have you tried (restarting, closing all background apps...)? I remember one time Black & White would give an error right away when I tried installing, so I restarted, closed all programs running in the background, and all was well.

You don't happen to be using a gravis game controller are you?

XeRoFuN: Tried all that, no go.

Wangster: Nope.

XeRoFuN · Jul 18, 2003

Hmm...have you tried deleting the Deus Ex files that were created during the install (as well as reg keys)?

I got it to work. I did a minimum install. It still crashed, but I tried running it and it worked.

That's still odd though. Just for the heck of it, I tried installing Deus Ex on my machine (Athlon 2500+ oc to 2.3GHz, 512 PC3200, G4 Ti4600, Win XP w/o SP1 though) and it installed (complete) and played fine. If it still bothers you, you can try to reformat...do you have SP1? Maybe something's up with that (I heard good and bad about SP1).

Yeah I've got SP1. I'll try and reinstall it after I reformat in a week or so.

But hey, it runs and I'm happy with that. It's a great game, can't belive I've missed out on it for so long.
