Ok, after lurking a while, hoping Steve would simplify the aurora instalation, I tried once again to d/l the game. I printed out steve's instructions and followed them to the letter. I cant get past the 120 install ( i keep getting the "access denied, cant install{or run? } aurora exe).I tried extracting the folder 2 way; first i simply extracted the folder icon in the rar file- a little folder image followed by several dots (i do it this way when i extract addon folders for WoW-no problem). When that didnt work, i deleted EVERYTHING aurora- and dumped the trash- started over and when i got to the 120 stuff i extracted them individually...when i tried to extract the exe file i got the error again.
So, to review
. Looking around a bit i found a "Compatible" or "
comparable" file button and it opens to reveal the planets and flags and ships files and, interestingly, the stevefire.mdb file. but no exe file.
So, is there anyone out there can tell me where i went wrong?
