Run as admin (right click on the .exe).

No idea, it's a standard msi installer. Check the tech forums, I remember people having problem and finding solutions.

If you find any, don't forget to add it in the wiki for the next generations :)

After 1hr of googling and a bucket full of coffee i found a solution!!!!1

First you have to download this really small and simple software

http://www.msi-to-exe.com/msi2exe-download.htm

Use the 15 day trial for this.. Then simply just search the lobbyinstaller .msi file in the input section.


And then put a location to the output where you want your exe to be after conversion.. then just simply press convert and poooof its done and working... 8-)
