I can't install the game.
« on: August 24, 2013, 10:52:01 PM »
This is seriously driving me nuts.  i followed the instructions and ran the setup. exe and no matter what i do it always comes up with an error saying 'Path or file not found' with a message saying 'C:\Users\(myusername)\Desktop\\@Stevefire. mdb not found'.  i tried everything i can and searched up solutions in the wiki and the forums.  i tried changing the install directory, messing with the setup. LST unzipping update and CAB files etc. 

this is what i've went through to install the game
1.  i unzipped the install. zip into a folder and ran the setup. exe
2.  changed the directory into my Desktop
3.  selected Aurora in the program file group
4.  error message saying 'Path or file not found' followed up by a message saying 'source file C:\Users\(myusername)\Desktop\\@Stevefire. mdb not found'

And if you need to know i have a windows 7 32bit desktop computer.

Have you got an AuroraUpdateXXX.zip file, XXX standing for the version number, probably 554 (I have only 491 downloaded and only used patches from there)?
If yes, unzip that file manually and put everything in your Aurora folder, overwriting existing files if the question arises.
Download the Aurora620 patch, unzip it into your aurora folder, again overwriting the existing files.
Download the Aurora621 patch, unzip it into your aurora folder, and yet again overwrite the existing file.

Now you should be set.
