hey, im completly new to this forum but im a big fan of M&M series. I have the original discs and i tried to download it but installer wont start.
When i try to install i get a process called "Setup.exe" that does nothing but take up memory.
I have tried to run the application with diffrent compatibility settings with no success.
I have windows 7 64-bit
32gb ram
with latest nvidia drivers to my gtx 690
Can anyone help me ? i really want to play this game and i been searching for days at work to be able to play this once again.

Re: M&M6 install problems, please help!
In my case, when installing off the disks, it can take up to 10 minutes for the installer to actually start. I'm not sure why that is. How long have you waited before giving up?
Far too many people speak their minds without first verifying the quality of their source material.
Re: M&M6 install problems, please help!
really ? well i just waited about 5 min. Im remoting my home computer from work and ill try and wait for the installer now.
I read about people having problems with antivirus and i do have nod32 but never had any problems with old games before.

Left setup running for over 1 hour now without any luck Searched on google but nobody seems to have any problems installing the game.

Yes, but not so many have so much RAM
Many things to try out:
* copy CD before installation to hdd
* disable any anitvirus/malware/firewall protection
* install directly to folder C (in other words avoid installing into folder "Program Files")
* set up affinity to one core only (within task manager)
* if that would be the RAM, then install somewhere else and then move to your computer. Note that you should move it with your registry records. (Never tried so I don't know if that is necessary, maybe not and registry will be autocreated)

I was looking more into what it could be and after i did a 'clean boot' the installer worked just fine but im curious on what might cause this problem.
Could play the game right after installing it, np
Do i need to patch my game before installing greyface?
Re: M&M6 install problems, please help!
Depends on your version but naturally yes. You should have the latest one.Bamse wrote:Do i need to patch my game before installing greyface?
It could be UAC or AV, there are such things in Windows which could interfere.

Hi,
I had exactly the same problem as OP: setup.exe does nothing (Windows 10).
I finally found the solution here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/co ... indows_10/
Skype closed -> setup runs fine. No need to clean boot, disable UAC, etc.
I am so happy, I have created a forum account here just to tell you about it
(and I think the "'analyze wait chain" function in the task manager is really cool)
