Decompression Error

from Stardock Forums

I have installed the game on my main desktop computer and it is running fine.

I then attempted to install it on my laptop but it is getting  a Decompression Error: can not find the Central Directory. I a running XP on the laptop a Lenovo T61.

Any help appreciated.

Did you download directly on both machines or did you use an archive? Do you have any security software on the laptop that's not on the desktop that might be interfering?

I downloaded directly through impulse for both computers. I did have the beta working on the same laptop and uninstalled before trying to load the retail version through impulse.

I travel alot as part of my job so I may not be able look this over for a few days (was trying to get it installed while I had access to a high speed internet connection. Will try when I get home at the end of the week.

Thanks!

Check to be sure there's enough space on your laptop's hard drive?  Just a thought....

I had a similar problem once and it turned out to be the antivirus protection that were interfering. I turned it off and the problem was gone.
