Title: Alpha Centauri installation never surpasses 35%.....
Post by: TelepathicCow on November 07, 2016, 06:15:37 PM

On Windows 10 and trying to install Alpha Centauri (the SoldOut edition). Every time I try to install whether I use compatibility modes or not the install always gets stuck at 35% and comes up with the message: "An error occurred during the move data process - 117." Any instructions to install this game on Win 10? Would be much appreciated.

I don't think that's a Win10 problem, it sounds like there's some bad data in wherever you're installing from.  Is it a download or a CD or what?

It's a SoldOut CD.

I wonder if that's a SoldOut DRM problem.  -If you're willing to throw six bucks at the problem, try here: https://www.gog.com/game/sid_meiers_alpha_centauri (https://www.gog.com/game/sid_meiers_alpha_centauri)
