Problems Installing

[MrRockefeller]

Alright so I feel like a fool asking about this but I really wish to play FAF, after I get a bit better of course XD

However, I cannot figure out how to install this mod. I downloaded an .msi file, and I can do nothing with it now. What do I do with this .msi file? Also, where do I put replays if I save them from somewhere like this website?

FAF is not a mod
The .msi file is a installer. Just double click to run it Everything is automatic from here.


About replays: With FAF installed, they will use FAF to run, so it doesn't matter where they are.

You need to install faf, then if you try to play or watch it will ask you where is your FA(game) folder is then it will download patches, but do not worry, faf uses indestructive patching and not affects your game installation at all

To run faf replays (***.fafreplay - files) just double click on them
To download replays go replay tab in faf or to replay vault web version (I do not have that link ATM)

Alright, but if I click the .msi file Windows Media Player opens up and nothing happens. My computer does not recognize it as an installer, it wants to make it a Media Player File. What should I open it with to actually install it?

Use this : ‪C:\Windows\System32\msiexec.exe
That is the location of the standard windows installer.

Alright so I read online winRAR can be used with this, so I just used winRAR to extract the files into a folder I named "FAForeverLobby." Would someone be able to tell me where they installed the FAFLobby files, and, what the actual name of the folder is? Please and thank you.

Use this : ‪C:\Windows\System32\msiexec.exe
That is the location of the standard windows installer.

In order to open with the msiexec file, I have to change the default to that. So, when I select Open With and then select the msiexec.exe file, nothing happens. It closes the Open With window and then nothing happens.

Edit: Twenty minutes later a window popped up basically saying that msiexec and the .msi file were not compatible. I just love Windows 8 breaking windows programming.

All I need now is to know what the SupComFA folder looks like after you've installed FAFLobby. And I'll work from there.

My problem was fixed; thank you anyone who attempted to help me!
