I'm having problems installing FM 2008 on Windows Vista. At the end of the installation it says that "serious errors have occured during the installation" and when it runs its just a white screen. I've looked in the support forums and nothing is working and nobody is replying there!

Is anyone having the same problem or know how to fix this?

Have you tried creating shortcut to Setup program on CD and trying to run it in compability mode?

If you right click on the shortcut you can select to run a certain program in XP copability mode.

I'm running FM on VISTA and I haven't had any problems.

I had it, it actually has installed, go to start menu and make your way to 'games' and it should be in there...its some muck up you can have sometimes and not others, so dispite it sayin it hasnt installed it really has

I havent got my computer with vista running at the moment so i cant remember the direct route to 'games', try and find it, if you cant then i will post here later to tell you, so let me know wether you get it or not

I un-installed it, will have to install it again. At the end though it says 'serious errors have occured, please check the installation log for detalis'.
Don't know what all that is about :S
