Hello,

I just wanted to report a problem with the zero-k installer. The sdz file for those who have the spring engine seems to be working fine, but the zero-k installer fails to install. It always encountered an error.

A workaround for right now would be to download the spring rts engine first and then download the sdz file. But I do hope that this can be fixed in the futrue.

Thanks!

Haave you tried replicating the steps from the download page?

I mean those:
* Try running installer again
* Try rebooting and then running installer again
* Download Microsoft .NET 4.0 CP manually and then run installer again

Its really strange installer fails for some people.

Hi thanks for responding.

I have Windows 7 Home Premium and Microsoft .NET already. I also checked out the tmp file created with a log, but could make no headway on what the problem was.

I appreciate the active community that zero-k has. Thanks again for your prompt reply and I'll make sure to check on it sooner!

Cheers,

I checked again the error log and i found that arial was missing too, i installed it but it's rather strange that these fonts went missing. So maybe this is specific to my computer even if i don't remember even deleting them.
Anyway, i hope this can help.
