rFactor reinstall - braindead setup
Hi!
I just have to vent... Only for GTR2 and rFactor I bought a shiny new PC. Installed GTR2, copied my old installation including addons over it and had fun with amazing frame rates...  Then I tried rFactor. I installed the SetupUpdate1150, aborted the DirectX install, and... rfactor.exe didn't make a peep. I installed the first, really old setup, it works. Hey, I want to drive the new version. After eMails to Trymedia Germany and to I had one desperate idea. Hey, maybe this stupid setup treats the DirectX install as NOT optional (well, 100% of all game setups I know consider it optional!). Reinstall, don't abort DirectX install, voila, rFactor works again!!! Holy crap! Okay, I feel better now... ronny

rFactor reinstall - braindead setup
I think there are about 4086 different versions of DirectX 9.0c have been
released. I always let directx install from a game. The installer is smart enough to know when to leave it alone. -Larry "Ronald Stoehr" > wrote in message ... > Hi! > > I just have to vent... > > Only for GTR2 and rFactor I bought a shiny new PC.

rFactor reinstall - braindead setup
Ron
rFactor's 1050 version REQUIRES 9.0c July point release (iirc - could have been sept. version). - any version before that will not work for 1050 - but I guess you know that now.

rFactor reinstall - braindead setup
DirectX wont install older files over the top of newer files, so its
perfectly safe to let the installer do its business. cheers steve "==--==" > wrote in message news:x24dh.421086$5R2.384360@pd7urf3no... > Ron > > rFactor's 1050 version REQUIRES 9.0c July point release (iirc - could have > been sept. version). - any version before that will not work for 1050 - > but I guess you know that now. > > Cheers > ==--== > > "Ronald Stoehr" > wrote in message > ... >> Hi! >> >> I just have to vent... >> >> Only for GTR2 and rFactor I bought a shiny new PC.

I know, and my PC has it INSTALLED already. All other setups warn you if you abort the DirectX install, but don't screw up their exe. Even the config exe (no DirectX needed there for sure) didn't work anymore! l8er ronny > > Cheers > ==--== > > "Ronald Stoehr" > wrote in message > ... > >>Hi! >> >>I just have to vent... >> >>Only for GTR2 and rFactor I bought a shiny new PC.
