Installing Bejeweled 2

[Guest]

Hello, My computer specs are...Windows Xp Home, SP2, Pentium 3 with 256 mb
ram and 800 Mhz. While trying to install Bejeweled 2, I get error messages
that say: Unable To Create Cab\popcfg2\Files.Cab and Unable To Read Installer
Data.
Please tell me what I should do.

Thank You for your quick response, but I purchased the Game today from a store.

Try here

and in particular here

although I don't know for certain if these apply to your version.

Hello Walter, thank you for your suggestion, I visited those websites and
they offered no solution.

Did you try the installer patch off the second link?

 

[Guest]

Yes I tried to install the patch, but it was for the game Bejeweled and
Alchemy. I purchased...Bejeweled 2 Deluxe.

Your best bet is to probably contact tech support at the game company. If is
possible that you have bad media, but it's also possible that have issues
with their installer on SP2 systems.

Thank You Walter and Carey, but after searching the internet for 12 hours I
found the answer. The solution for me was to copy the Bejeweled 2 Deluxe
folder to a "new folder" on my hard drive and then install the game from the
copied version.

Your post prompted me to buy Bejeweled2 (had Bejeweled for a while).
The install went OK for me, and automatically selected new folders etc.
(Found out that you have to be "online" with the game open to unlock it
using the key code)
Worth remembering that you only have 5 free downloads of a registered copy
though.

I hope you enjoy the game as much as I do.

This kind of *.cab software install errors often occur if you have a bad
disk. You should run CHKDSK,
you can find it by right clicking preferences on c:\
