Descent 3 Demo Installation Problem

Has anyone seen this error while trying to run the demo setup v 1.2?

An internal read error has occurred on C:\\DOCUME~1\\N1838\\LOCALS~1\\Temp\\WZS2.tmp\\SETUP.INS. Unable to load instalation instructions.

Error 703.

I've loaded the demo on one other system but wanted to try it on my main computer and got this error. I just ordered the full version of Descent 3 and hope this isn't a sign of things to come.

Thanks for any and all help.

Delete the files in that folder and run the setup again. Don't worry, the full product won't have this problem.

And it's well worth the $4.99 you paid for it.

Thanks for the reply. It didn't help though. I even unzipped the exe file into a seperate directory and executed the setup from there with the same results. I'll just wait until I get my regular version and install it on my main computer. I used to play the original Descent when it came out and just now stumbled on the fact that D3 had been out for some time and I never knew it. Looking forward to getting back into the game.

Never mind the last post. As soon as I hit submit, my system came back with the install screen and I finished the install.

Again, thanks.

Enjoy. You won't find anyone to play with for multi in the demo though. Once you get your final version, goto www.planetdescent.com and d/l the 1.4 patch and some levels.
