Installation Troubleshooting

[Xjort]

Having a problem with the recent version (July) of UDK 3. When selecting "New Level" from the tab it auto prompts beginning with anew lighting template. There is no mention of whether I would like to begin an additive or subtractive map. Is this a massive n00B oversight on my part eg. is there something I'm not turning off? Or is there something I can do to turn the lighting map auto prompt off & the correct (according to all the walkthroughs) Additive/subtractive prompt on?
Apologies again for the ultra newbie question, but we all need to start somewhere....

I don't want to start a new thread and clog up the page so:

I'm using the book from Packt "Unreal Development Kit Game Design Cookbook," and am trying to use the materials they give you with the book. They sent me a file full of textures, 3ds files, and UPK files, but I guess I'm doing it wrong. I can see all the packages in the content browser now, but I can't see any of the content that should have been brought over with it...

So how do I import pre-made packages and other content?

please for the love of god and a fan help me, i have recently bought chivalry medieval warfare from steam and once i download it and click "play" it runs first time installation i guess it is, what it does is install microsoft c++ and direct x and all that other stuff, but while its downloading c++ it gets an error and says "VCRedist x86 failed to install" ive tried everything and yet it still doesnt work.

I already have that.
Additionaly i have installed those files for sure.
I have rainstalled the game.
But problem still same - "VCRedist x86 failed to install"
I suppose the luuncher just couldn't see the files the are installed.
Do u have any saggestions?
-----------------------------
Указанное уже было установлено.
Дополнительно, для уверенности, я скачал и снова установил эти файлы.
Я также переустанавливал игру.
Но проблема осталась прежней - "Не удалось установить VCRedist x86".
ПРедполагаю, что лаунчер просто не видит (не распознает) того что эти файлы уже есть.
Есть ли ещё предложения?

Ok, my issue is a little bit weird: First my UDK started to work odd, with the content browser getting really slow, so i decided to erase everything and make a fresh install.
First problem came up: Having windows 7 64 bits, it asked me for a windows xp service pack 3, weird. It was the same installer that i used the last time, the UDKInstall-2012-11-BETA and the same computer (a Packard Bell I5 Laptop with an Nvidia 540M and Windows 7). Using compatibility mode solved it, but now. When the installation Starts, it only gives me two options for the project. PSUT3GAME or PSGAMEEmpty , the last time it offered me projects for PC, not for PS (That i supose it will be playstation or PSVita). Im developing my graduation project, and it`s a short game for pc, so i need the pc option and make a blank install. Any ideas?

All right, here's my issue. It says I need service pack 3, but I'm running Windows Vista. So I went in to the properties to try and run it with XP Service Pack 3, this shouldn't be an issue because all Vistas have that capability...al but mine that is. For some reason when I go to the "Compatibility" tab, click the box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:", and I go to choose service pack 3 in the drop down menu, but it isn't there, the newest version of XP I can make the program Compatible with is Service Pack 2. Why is Service Pack 3 not available?

Hi.
How to fix?

Hi.
How to fix?

It's not an installation issues but an error on your side in the GamePawn.uc and like the error say a class cannot extend itself, try to extend Pawn, UDKPawn or UTPawn depending on your needs.

Hello.

I have solved something like 'Ionic.Zlib.corruption.Exception.appear...bulabula ' install problem.

The main problem is your Windows update. Complete all of your update of the windows.

I am using the Windows7 64bit Ultimate.

I had a same problem like you. At that time, 110 updates waited for me.

First of all, apologies to those of you having trouble installing the UDK.

To check the validity of the download, use the software here http://md5summer.org/ - this will create an md5 checksum on your local install to make sure it is correct.

The UDK installs several prerequisites required to run the editor... they can all be downloaded separately and installed individually. If you're having a problem with a specific redistributable, does the standalone installer for that component work? If it doesn't, does a reboot fix it? If it still doesn't install, does it tell you why not? If it does state the reason, please post here and we'll look into it (please include your OS, language, UAC on or off, and whether you are an admin in your machine specs).

It has been noted that pending Windows Updates and partially finished installs can stop the following installing; a reboot is always the first line of defence here.

It has also been noted that some virus checkers can break the install (especially AVG); try disabling that.

*Some folks are experiencing an error message asking for Windows XP service pack 3 when they are running Vista or Win7. The simplest solution is to run the installer an add -progressonly to the shortcut or command line. Another solution is here:

Hi there, I know this is an old post now however, I downloaded the recent Aliens: Colonial Marines. For the last 5 days since the release I have been working tirelessly to attempt to get the game to work correctly.
It has boiled down to the UE3Redist package will not install at all:

WITH .NET 4.5 it gives me the CLR error: 80004005
WITH only .NET 3.5 sp1, the UDK installer attemps to patch .net to 4.0.. but fails.

I really need help with this as this issue is working my last nerve (ha ha)
Also to note, I have downloaded mdr5summer and toggled the settings (as it wouldn't find the 'UE3Redist' at first). After I switched to find "All Files", I performed a scan and it claimed that the file, did not exist.

I have:

Windows 7, Professional, sp1 64bit
AMD Phenom II x4 965 (3.40GHz)
8Gb of Venegeance Ram
NVidia GTX 560 GPU

Please Advise

[leviatan1001]

Impossible to install...



EDIT:

Worked after a third download ¬¬

[cholasimmons]

seems my problem is unique. I downloaded UDK 3 times from 3 different machines with 3 different internet connections. after disabling avast and setting affinity to one core I STILL get an error like IONIC.ZIP.BADCRCEXCEPTION
HOW!?? this is so annoying now

Windows 7 64bit
4gb ram
dual core pentium
plenty HDD space in C D E F and G!
uac off
avast disabled for an hour (error happens within 5minutes at about 43%)

[daimaku]

have you tried installing the downloaded udk install file on another computer ?

[cholasimmons]

i just thought about that now. the nearest pc i can test it on is at work-tomorrow. hope i dont get caught... my problem is identical to leviatan1001's that he posted above.
I have no windows updates pending either..

I'm getting stuck on UDKGame/Content/Maps/UT3/DM-Deck.udk

[cholasimmons]

in the beginning of the installation I just disabled the option that includes the demo project and chose the empty scene.
udk installed quickly without a glitch!! but of course I have an empty editor now. not so many assets if at all any. I want EVERYTHING!! help
