Technical problems with THE HORROR: downloading, installing, and running it
Rockermonkey:
Its size is: 4.94 GB (5,298,994,158 bytes)
And it 45 minutes so alittle bit over. at like 1.5mb/sec on average. On bittorent btw. I wonder if that is one of the ones with that virus that may or may not exist. Where did you all download?

What do you see when you mount the image (.iso)? Daemon should have created a virtual drive that essentially operates as the game DVD. You mount the .iso in that drive. The files should then be visible on that drive. You should be able to install from there as easily as if you had a disk in a physical DVD drive. Not happening?
No, that is happening. But when I click anything to try to install it just tells me I can't because it's not compatible. I'm downloading again in hopes that the download/iso got corrupted along the way. I'll report back if that helps, tonight (only about 30% t this point). On to day four of this saga *sigh*.
Having to start over really sucks. I am starting to think something is wrong with my download, been going since 5:42pm yesterday and its now only at 47%. Is there anyway to speed this up?

Have you tried editing the compatibility? (Right-click on .exe file, select properties, Compatibility and set it to XP or Vista 32, whichever pops up).
Also, try righ-click > Run as Administrator on the file.

Well, I trotted over to Mininova and someone pulled the torrent I had downloaded, along with all the comments associated with it. Or they have hidden it and I can't find it. But the newest torrents listed all have a May 21, 2009 posting date. Sooo, it looks as if EA yanked it. I am going to find a different one to download and hopefully it will be more in line with the ones all of you have, and the installation won't be quite so confusing. Well, I can hope, can't I? :-\

Yes indeedy, I have. Does nothing. Thanks for the idea though. I tried that a few times just for good measure. I got really pissed at one point. I had to walk away or I might have punched my computer. Not many things make me that angry but computers are pretty much number one on that lst.

Ouch, that sounds like the first site I tried. I tried every site people here suggested (I'm not kidding) and the only that moves at a good pace is the one from seedgames.com. You have to register but it's open registration. I've been downloading for three hours and I'm almost at 35%. I'd stop the download you have, it'll probably take another couple days to download.
I just deleted that one, and I am trying seedgames, here's to hoping this moves faster.
Thanks for the info.
