Im trying to install Fable:The Lost Chapters on my laptop. Its a windows XP game and i have 7. I rape the system requirements but i get this error message when I try to install: 1607: Unable to install InstallShield scripting runtime. wtf is that? I require assistance.
There's no such thing as a 'Windows XP game'. For the most part, anything that'll run on XP will also run on 7. Try running the installer in compatibility mode and cleaning your disk.
Run it as an admin maybe.
Sometimes it's a problem with the installer version. Google the error code and the game's name and you'll find help, possibly something like an alternate installer. I had an installer file problem with Grim Fandango
I got fable working on my windows 7 laptop, but I didn't install it on windows 7. I installed it on an XP pc to an external harddrive and then it worked with a couple of compatability settings on my win7 laptop.
Right click, run as administrator, or run it in a VirtualBox.
Run it in compatibility mode. [media]http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/5743/ss20101017215539.png[/media]
