Jedi Knight 2 Problem

BabyEater

When i am trying to install JK2 i get an error message saying:
Component Transfer Error
Component: Game
File Group : Game Files
File: E:\GameData\data\base\assets0.pk3
Error: Incorrect function

I am running windows XP on a 1900XP, 512MB Ram.
Any help would be appreciated

That seems like a CD problem to me. Im running XP too and i had no trouble installing or playing JK2.
Try installing it on a different comp, if you get the same error its most likely the CD, In which case take it back as soon as possible.

It works on me 450 running win 98 so its not the cd.
Thanks for the reply tho

That happened with my crappy old dvd-rom drive. I tried the disc in a different drive (same machine) and it worked fine. Might be something to do with the game's copy protection or something.

Hmmm, you could be on to something there stephen. I tried installing it on a mate of mines PC and i think we may have gotten a similar error as babyeater but we just put it down to the fact that his ROM drives a bit jammy. Might be worth looking into. Swap the drives on your pcs while your playing it or something, its a soloution if only temporary. (I Had plum forgotten about that, damn alcahol)

I had trouble installing JKII with XP as well, although mine wouldn't even start installing. I fixed it by rebooting in Safe Mode, and logging in as administrator, then it installed no problem. Worth a try.
