I bought the PC version of GB and it will not install.  I keep getting an error that says install wizard was interrupted before the game could be installed. This is BULLSHIT!!!!  Can't return the game because its PC. Anyone else have this problem?  I know some people have, I googled it.  Who do I call to bitch out ATARI or Terminal Reality?

You were the guy having CRC errors when installing other games before right?  We talked in that thread you made.  Is it possible that's still causing problems for you?

wow that sucks, i sure hope you get it fixed - the game is pretty good.  That's why, if given the option, I get it on a console before I get it on a PC.  I understand you may not have that option, but that's one of -my- reasons.  Good luck with it.  I'd look for some sort of tech support number.

What OS do you use?
Have you tried running it in compatibility mode?:D

Can u check the back of the box and see if it mentions multiplayer? I heard somewhere PC version is gimped and doesn't have that and just curious if it's true. Hope you solve the issue but if you have it with other games too don't blame the game just yet.

I fixed the CRC error problem, it was bad ram.  This is a whole new problem. Every game I have installs just fine, but not ghostbusters. There is a problem with the game.

PC version is confirmed to have no MP.

Ah, I thought so!  Glad you sorted that problem out at least.  Can you tell us specifically what error you're getting now?

Does it give a proper error message, error code, anything? Is there anything related to installshield in the event log (right-click my computer, manage, event viewer, look at application and system logs).

If you have antivirus on, try turning it off before installing.

I assume this has something to do with SecureCom which is bundled with the PC version. Call Atari.

Here is an analysis of the securecom INI file: http://www.ecto-web.org/~spookcentral/scblog/index.php/2009/06/15/ghostbusters-video-game-pc-online-activa

Ok. The error says "Install wizard was interrupted before game could be installed try again later" Thats not word for word but you get the idea.  Also this error was on the last window of the install thing where it would usually have 2 check boxes one for view readme and one for launch game. This is not a system error.

Try checking this out maybe?  Google search for this type of install wizard error.

Looks like there's a lot of potential problems / solutions.

Has anyone else bought this for the PC? Have you had the same problem? I am in need of feedback.
