Wesnoth 1.11.8 Windows installation issue

Post by Paulomat4 »

So, I tried to install 1.11.8 for windows. (I'm on windows xp)

somehow everytime I try to install it, the installation get's stuck after unpacking the core data.( maybe also a bit later) I seem to get different error messages, each time I try it again. Here the most recent one:

Just a wild guess, do you have enough space on the disk? Error while writing file is usually related to access rights problem (very unlikely in this case), or full disk.

if you happen to have 7z installed - it can extract all files from the installer to a directory (right click context menu) - does this work?

600mb free space might be quite close. not sure, but the installer might create temp files, etc...
can you check the free space once the error message shows up?

I got it to run. I had to deinstall 1.10 and then it worked. Must have been because of the missing space. Still I had more than what was being in the description. It would be nice to know, how much space you really need (at least during the installation) instead of the space that is taken afterwards.

I tried, and 7z extracted some files, but the files weren't in the right directories, there were other folders so no it didn't work
