Installer fails shortly after start

Post by Siris »

I have tried both installers and shortly after the start I get the following message:

Error extracting support files: The server threw an exception

after which the installer shuts down

Out of curiosity, what version of windows were you experiencing the error on?

On this machine I use Vista, Will have to try on my good laptop when it comes back from the factory (windows 7). I ran the installer on my old desktop/server which is still xp.

Please email support@naturalpoint.com, and I will try to get a copy of an expanded installation out to you to try.

I also have troubles installing the TrackIR software (both versions 4 and 5 final) and just made a post in this thread.

Can I also get a expanded installation? I'm sitting here with a 200 dollar hardware device which I cannot use ;-(

I Have received the installation files by email.
After a simple copy & paste and assigning the drivers and TrackIR was running.

No I only have to get used using TrackIR.

Thanks for helping!
