    MVP Mancala


    Hello,
    I have been playing MVP Mancala Deluxe (paid) for years on 2 XP Machines.
    Now I have a new Win 7 Home Premium from Dell and when I try to install the game I get:

    "Setup is unable to find installation languages in C:\Users\JDH\Local\Temp\pft3B2E>tmp\SETUP.LI file Error 105."

    I download a fresh copy . Same problem.
    I have tried to contact MVP Software but am ignored.
    Any hope?

    File path is wrong


    C:\Users\JDH\Local\Temp\pft3B2E>tmp\SETUP.LI

    should read

    C:\Users\JDH\AppData\Local\Temp\pft3B2E>tmp\SETUP.LI

    So contact the developer.

    Also double check your Environment Variables for your User account are correct.


    Start> Run then type

    sysdm.cpl

    Press ENTER

    Then Advanced> Environment Variables

    Under User Variables for JDH it should read


    C:\Users\JDH\AppData\Local\Temp

    for the TEMP and TMP entries. Unless you've made changes on purpose.

    Thanks for responding.
    As I said MVP does not respond after several tries, that's why I came here.

    Here is a screen shot of advance variables.

    does not appear in any tmp, temp file

    XP program on Windows 7


    Hi again,

    Your Environment Variables look fine so leave them as they are.

    If I understand correctly the program that you're trying to install is designed to run on XP. I've downloaded the free version and tried to install it in XP Compatibility Mode. I get the same error.

    I look in the temp file and no such file is listed.

    Conclusion: It's not going to run on Windows 7.

    You might get it to run like this but not on your Windows 7 Home Premium Edition.

    Other than that there's more advice here:

    I've only read the article and haven't ever used this method so after reading it you know as much as I do.
