VB6 Aurora > Installation

Error 3021

Gekneldeland:
.  .  .   generated by DAO.  field.

I keep getting this error and I've reinstalled the game a number of times. 

1) First I run the setup (keeping original Files - answering YES.   Windows 7). 
2) Then I extract 554 update to the directory
3) I then install/extract the 620 update
4) I have changed the regional settings to US as well as UK and checked the decimal in "Additional Settings".

Anything else I might be missing?

Thanks in advance Wink

Erik L:
Did you install in a directory other than Program Files?

It sounds like the DB did not copy over correctly.

Gekneldeland:
I've tried a number of reinstalls now.   

I got passed the first 3021 errors when creating a new game by running it as administrator (I also installed it as admin).    But when I try the 30 day increment the game throws out the same 3021 error.   

It doesn't seem to happen when I press the 5 second, 5 minute or even the hour increments ???

Does it make a difference when installing to Program Files (x86) or just simply to Program Files?

EDIT: I copied the files to the Program Files directory but still no difference.   What I did find out is that the preset game (Space 1899) launches without hiccups and I can also increment it by 30 days without any errors.

It is actually advisable to NOT install in either Program Files(x86) or Program Files. Windows 7 has some serious issues with letting things get overwritten in those directories.

Gekneldeland:
Cleaned everything - Even scanned the registry for anything related to Aurora.

Fresh Install as Admin to a new Directory simply called Aurora.

Copied all the updates/patches as before.

I then ran Aurora. exe as admin.

Still crashes when I press the 5 or 30 day increment.

I'm going to download it again and see what happens
