Hey all,

I'm having a heck of a time installing Lost Children. It keeps looking for the exe file, and can't find it. I have uninstalled and installed three times now, and it does the same thing...Help!

Mike

Are you installing or trying to run it? The first time I ran it I had to go to the folder where it was installed and click on the exe file and then the icon was put on my desktop.

I am having the same trouble on windows vista... I can install it just fine but it won't run... I have done the same uninstall and reinstall multiple times and it still isn't working...it just errors out...thanks all

Josh

What kind of error? Which version are you installing (LDW or BFG?)?

It runs fine, in general, on Vista. Let's figure this out!

One thing you can try right away is to go into your harddrive into Program Files->Virtual Villagers - The Lost Children, and click the exe there. If that works, then just make a shortcut from that to your desktop. Please keep me informed so I know what is going on here...I might need to adjust/fix the installer.

Windows Vista is loaded with a lot of extra security.

I am wondering if the person installing the game needs to have administrator privileges.

Also I am wondering if Vista feels something about the installer or the game is insecure.

I do not have Windows Vista so I may be completely wrong.

Hope you get a fix. Arthur is very diligent and if anyone can fix it he can!

Good Luck!

Yes I can Confirm it works on Vista

Well i go through and install it just fine... But when i go to run it a box comes up saying "Virtual Villagers: The Lost Children.exe has stopped working" A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available... The i only have 1 option to close the box...

Im not sure what you mean by LDW or BFG?!?

Thank you for the help!

Did you get your Game From Last Day or Work or Big Fish Games? have you tried Right Clicking and run as administrator (you shouldn't have to but it's a start) did you have any error messages in your event log? or does it create a ldwlog.txt file under Documents/LDW/Virtual VIllagers - The Lost Children Dir...Can you post that if so...this will all help Arthur

I got it from Last Day of work... I've tried running it as administrator both under the start menu and the C: drive... No it doesn't create a txt file under Documents....and no i don't see anything in the event log...

opps... just kidding i found some stuff in the event log... heres the error...
