Installation Troubleshooting

[Argawaen]

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:

My head is bleeding, I've been trying to install this UDK and no success over 3 hours, I tried multiple sources and nothing!

I get this errors "UnSetup has stopped working"
sometimes on the decompression and sometimes on the binaries install, for example it showed up when I was at "Binaries\Win32\Lightmass".

I tired with UAC and with out it, nothing.

Edit I downloaded the Beta 2 from Epic Games servers and i got this error "VCRedist x86 failed to install"
Maybe I need to download it first,install and then run the UDK and it might work?

I have:

Windows Vista Home Premium
Service Pack 2
English
32 bit

Also the 1st beta worked after couple of tries, I have this annoying problem with 2nd Beta.

For the love of god please help me find a solution.

Thank you very much.

Several people have had success disabling their virus checker; especially AVG. Can you try that please?

Cheers

I've had similar problems installing both betas on Vista 64.

Setting the processor affinity to use only one core worked for me.

SUCCESS!!!! it worked!!!!!!

yes! thanks John!

Btw John, the installation only worked with Epic Games Download, the others were badly corrupted, you might wanna note that, anyways that was my problem

Personally I fixed my installation issues, simply by uninstalling UT3. It seems that UT3 conflicts with UDK's installer.
I use a windows 7 - 64 bit system. After uninstalling UT3, UDK's installer worked just fine.
