Help on Installing SPWaW 5.1

Post by Boiler »

I've spent 30 hours downloading the complete version of the game from the link on the download page. After downloading it, it seemed fine but half-way through installation, it asked to to insert disk 2. I want to know what is disk 2. It let me browse for the file but I don't know how I could find it.
The file I dled is:Spwaw-v501-Internet.zip
The file inside is:Spwaw-v50-Internet
The file the installation program is looking for:Spawa-v50-Internet.2
The file i want is the last one.
I'm using Win98. AMD Athlon 700mhz 64mb with 16mb video card. I hope you guys can help me. I wish to play this great game.
Help me!!!!

Hi,

It looks like you've got an incomplete download or a corruptet one. If you mail me your address I'll send you a CD with the needed files.

Regards,

Lars

I am also on of the many who are getting this error message. After 27 hours of downloading I am rewarded with not being able to play. Please send me the necessary files. I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

I ran into this problem, but it seemed to just dissappear! At first, I thought I had a corrupted download, so I downloaded it again. (Cable Modem makes life niiice.) Same "Insert Disk Two" problem as before. Rather than just give up at that point, I looked to see where the file might be hiding, thinking if I copied it to a floppy, I might fool the install program into continuing. What I found was that I had not properly extracted all the files from the .zip file. I had simply run the .exe from inside my unzip utility, thinking it would extract all files automatically. I then created a new folder and extracted all the files to it. I ran the installation from there and it worked fine. I don't know if this will help anyone else, but it is worth a shot before resigning yourself to wait for a CD.
