I need help with impulse.

from Sins Forums

I downloaded the installer for impuse.  I started the installation. Then I got an error that said "Unable to download installer files Error IMPD01-300".  It also said to check my internet connection, which is fine and firewalls, which I'm not sure about.  Any help would be great.

I have AVG anti-virus if that helps any. I'm also on XP.

Try removing the install (if it shows up as a uninstallable program please do) or deleting the set up file. After that restart and download/install from the following link instead: http://www.impulsedriven.com/impulse_setup_full.exe

Let us know if you still have the same trouble there.

I'm having trouble installing impulse thru the link in the downloads section; after i get it all downloaded and try to run the install, it asks my permission to continue twice, once for unknown publisher, and the other for user account control; and then a InstallAware (oneword) Wizard window comes up that says "Cannot start setup - the setup file may be corrupt, or you may have the wrong password.  If you downloaded this file, please download a fresh copy.  If the file is password protected, check your password and try again."

I use Vista, and have v1.05 Sins, CD retail tho updated

Are you using the full insatller (and not the web one)?  Try it.  Impulse Client - Full

odd, now it says "C:\Users...impulse_setup_full.exe is not a valid Win32 application.  and it only asks for permission once, bcuz of publisher

Orodum,

Right-click on the exe and try 'Run as Admin'

Sounds like you need to redownload it. Your EXE is corrupt.

thanx, it installed right this time.  last time, it didn't actually save the file (2 second download earlier, this time about an hour download)

We have noticed that several people have had the same troubles. We don't know what would cause it but if you choose to run the software instead of downloading and then running the set up file you can get incomplete or corrupt downloads. We are trying to find the cause but for the mean time we suggest to everyone that they download the whole file, run the install, restart, then just delete the set-up file if they wish.
