Um, when I try to install my JJ2, the setup program tells me that the archive is corrupt, and that setup has to quit. What can I do?

Instead of going through the install, make a Jazz2 directory yourself. Then go to the directory on your Jazz2 CD that contains all of the files (I forget it's exact name, but it will contain Jazz2.exe, JCS.exe, etc). Select all files and paste them into the Jazz2 directory you created on your drive. You should be able to run Jazz2 now.

That should work, it's what I had to do myself back in the day. Take not that unless you're running 1.24 you'll need to install of the latest patches =P

don't you need to install the registry keys?

Jazz does that automaticly, but I don't think Spaztic is right. I think the archive is inside the executable.

Yeah, if you run the program and go to the Name/Server settings they'll be added to the registry automatically, then you can go in to edit them.

Thanks, like my new siggy?

I tried what you said, but it didn't work, now I keep getting access violation messages, and messages that files are corrupt!

That's strange...never happened to me before. If you copy all of the files and folders exactly I don't see why it shouldn't work. Or is this happening when you try to run the 1.23 patch converter?

It is always possible that what the error message says is true.

Corrupted archive?

Changes are the CD might be damaged. Any scratch marks?

Uniacke1 · May 23, 2003, 02:58 PM

Well, I have version 1.22 and I havent tried updating it yet
There are lots of very tiny scratch marks on the CD, but you can only see them under VERY bright light.

My jazz cd doesn't have that folder at all.
All data is stored in one big file.
Lucky i have a backup of my complete jj2 folder (which takes in almost a whole cd-r)
last time i tried install TSF on my laptop computer but the cd did noting. luck i have a full backup and just copied that.
