I have a VISTA, and I'm trying to install it onto my computer. I can't even install the files. It tries to compute how much space is going to be used and stuff, and it says it can't access APPDATA?

1. I run the setup thing whatever(administrator mode + XP(SP2) compatibility)
2. Starts up
3. Computing space requirements
4. Error: 1606; Could not access network location %APPDATA%/
5. I click retry, same thing happens.
6. I click cancel this time.
7. SAME THING HAPPENS!
8. I click OK
9. The wizard was interrupted before RPG Maker XP could be completely installed. Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again. Click Finish to exit the wizard.
10. I click FINISH and I am left without RPG Maker XP

Please help D:

Please try to install RMXP as Administrator (usually right-click and "Run as administrator").
Alternatively, can you choose a custom path to install RMXP in? That might solve your issues.


If/when successful, also follow these steps:
1. Go to your root RMXP directory. (Usually C:\Program Files\Enterbrain\RPGXP)

2. Right click RPGXP.exe and choose "Properties".

3. In the "Properties" popup, go to the "Compatibility" tab.

4. Check the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)"

5. Check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator".

6. If you cannoth check the box mentioned in step 5, follow steps 7 through 11.

7. Click on the button that says "Show settings for all users".

8. Click the "OK" button on the "Windows needs your permission to continue" button, after inputting the password of the specified administrator if necessary.

9. Check the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)"

10. Check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator".

11. Click the "OK" button.

12. Click the "OK" button.

13. Right click PSIKey.dll and choose "Properties".

14. In the "Properties" popup, go to the "Security" tab.

15. Click on the "Advanced" button.

16. Highlight the permission entry that says "Users ([your computer's name]\Users)" where [your computer's name] is whatever you named your computer. (Mine is Wolfluxpc)

17. Click the "Edit..." button.

18. Highlight the group "Users ([your computer's name]\Users)".

19. In the popup that appears (It should be named "Permission Entry for PSIKey.dll"), check the "Allow" box for the option "Full Control".

20. All of the "Allow" boxes below the box you just checked should now be checked as well.

21. Click the "OK" Button.

22. Check the box that says "Include inheritable permissios from this object's parents".

23. Click the "OK" button.

24. Click the "OK" Button.

25. Click the "OK" Button.

26. Run RPG Maker Xp, and you should no longer get the error message!

27. If you still get the error message, log into the administrative account on the computer (With the owner's permission) and then run RPG Maker XP. It should work no matter what on that account, after you have successfully completed the above stps.

28. Have fun building games with the legal version of RPG Maker XP!

Oh and also; anytime you run it. You need to run it as an Administrator.
I'm much too lazy to put an actual signature here.

Vista sucks. Change your operative-system.


%appdata% is not a network location (like the error states). It is a systemwide variable

%appdata% it is a directory on your computer

For Vista it is C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\
for XP it is C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Application Data\

Now start using Google. Or I will punch you in your sleep.
