and yesterday when i tried downloading it yet again, the same error messages came up saying it is corrupt ect. so i opened it again and it said the same name has been installed, either rename it or delete the other folder, i did that and still didnt work. plus, in the install, uninstall window when you open the modinstaller, nothing is there, so even if something was installed it should be shown in that window but isnt.

If you uninstalled the modificatiuons using the modinstaller not all files might have been deleted. That could cause the 'file with the same name is installed' error. That's why I suggest you download a mod you haven't installed before, so you can see if that is the problem. When deleting mods, always select the folder of the mod and press delete, that way you are sure no files stay behind.

Something else you can try: insert the EM4 CD and start the setup menu. You can choose to repair the game on your harddisk, usually that works too. For more info see the Technical Help FAQ.

Even to double check to see if something was wrong with the mod file itself, i tried to download another mod, same thing..... which now leads to two questions you might be able to answer.....

the game i have is Volume 1.3f-en BUT it is a collectors edition so it has E3 on it in english and french, plus E4 english and french on on disk.... could that be the problem???

And... could something be wrong with my laptops settings somewhere? if so, where do i look???

Please help....

Please stop making a new post for the same problem. Keep your questions about this problem in one topic please. Topics merged.

To answer your questions:
-as far as I know, having two games on one CD is a bit uncommon, but it shouldn't make any difference or cause you any game problems.

-I don't think there is anything wrong with your laptop, but I'm positive some of the files weren't removed from your system and that's why you are experienciung this problem right now. But without your laptop I really can't tell you where to look. Just make sure you have manually deleted all the old Emergency 4 files before you install EM4 again. So only way to find out where those files are is searching your hard drive I'm afraid...

I recently installed the LA mod and it worked perfectly but i was having the same problem when trying to install the London mod however i found a very helpful answer to the same question on yahoo answers (link: http://answers.yahoo...24022928AA82TPA) basically it says that once you've installed the mod instead of clicking on the modification to install it place the file(once extracted) into to a mods file in your emergency four file (create one if you haven't already) then go to the start menu, open up the emergency four file and start up the mod installer then press install package and select from your mods folder the modification this should now work, hope this isn't too complicated and that it helps.

I've never had this problem before but I would recommend a few things, makes sure the mod is going into the correct EM4 or 911:FR path, You may have to reinstall EM4 or 911:FR, and don't download the mod from any website other than this one, they may not have permission, and the file may contain a virus if you download it somewhere other than Emergency Planet

 

wow thanks man I had the same problem just cause I changed the game folder's name from 911 - First Responders to 911 First Responders !! I changed it back and now I'm installing mods

HI, I'm getting same problem with London Mod, la mod... i've just had to wipe hard drive and re-intall windows 7 as Hotmail was hacked. I've been using this mod for years and had it backed up on another hard drive. I've even re-downloaded it and still get a corruption message.

The package on the site is not corrupted (for the LA mod i'm unsure about the London), but what is usually the culprit is that the file did not download 100% correctly, which means delete the file off your computer and clear your internet browser(s) cache and redownloading the file.  Sometimes although rarely it can be a problem with the installation of the game it's self causing the issue, reinstall the game to the default directory and it should work.

I've fixed my erro problems, this way:

 

1. make mod directory in Game folder.

2. Run CCleaner, and registry checker.... cleans up registry and clears browser history etc. can download Ccleaner Free... www.filehippo.com

3. then copy mod file from dpwnload folder to mods folder just created.

4. double click on mod... and it worked for me.
