Downloads:
Carefully read and follow the instructions for each.
Windows Installer 4.5
.NET Compact Framework 2.0

After installing both, restart your computer and then attempt to install osu! again. If the install fails, attempt to run osu! manually again.
Post any and all errors you encounter during this process.

i got the same errors. And also, when i try to download windows installer 4.5, no one of the vista versions works, because, simply, i don't have windows vista, i have windows 7 ultimate

If you can't install windows installer, you're pretty much at a dead end. Your OS must be pretty messed up

Is this new/old and is it a dodgy pirated copy? (I won't tell anyone)

no monney + country coin isn't Dollars + mom does not have credit cards + underage = a Windows 7 copy from SEVEN SEAS!


(PD: i also got a pirated windows xp and i played it before)
(PDD: Do not tell this to bill gates )

>Implying that non-legit windows is a bad thing
I'm only bothered if its a really crap copy, which it seems to be.

It worked on XP before because that would've been a different version.

I'll try not to tell Bill, but you know what us mates are like...


It looks like your windows is just messed up, is it clean enough for you to consider a re-installation? You'll want to buy a new copy of it (not the same one you currently have)
Some components in windows must be messed up
(Unless someone knows what the issue is and will solve it for you)

uhh, no. I'll try to tell my brother if i can re-install the pc (thing that i don't think he will let me)
if he let me well good for me :D
if he do not let me (most probably thing) i'm not gunna play osu for the rest of my life.

i don't know how such games can work in this machine and this one doesn't .__. . Thanks

Run the osu! installer with administrator priviliges. Right click > Run as Administrator.

I suggest to re-install again Netframework. And try disabling UAC. Also check before if you had netframework turned off (turn it on).

First uninstall your installed netframework and after that, install this one.

Shut up, you aren't helping.
Have you even TRIED reading this thread?

Loopydemon: If that doesn't work we can try googling for your issues...
And windows versions are different, very different, especially when they've been tampered with, could just be a single file that's corrupt, who knows.

I suggest again to re-install netframework 3.5 as I said. But first uninstall the game as clean as possible.

@LoopyDemon: Can you give us a screenshot of your installed frameworks so we know what's installed?

Example:


[Aside] At this point, I can only recommend a reinstall of Windows 7 or downgrade to Windows XP.

Install netframework 3.5 and check if works. You dont have netframework 3.5 installed.

osu! doesn't target .net 3.5
It uses 2.0

it doesn't matters, indeed, that .NET 3.5 it's just a executable .rar cuz' it doesn't even have an instalation.

anywaysit just still the same thing and my brother do not let me re-format the pc so... :cry:
Fabi
