I'm trying to install a new game I bought, but the setup process isn't working for some reason. I click to install, accept, then press Run, it brings up a window saying: "Installer needs the next part (.BIN) file". It's description is "By default the files should be placed in the same folder as the installer itself. Please click Browse and specify he correct path." The Path that comes up as default is: C:\Users\Samuel\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\G0HWEW1A . Pressing OK for this doesn't work, when I try and browse my folders like under GOG com and games none of them work. Instead this message comes up: "The file could not be located in the installer's folder. Please make sure that the file is in the correct folder, or specify its current location. I've tried to comprehend this and nothing seems to be working, if I could get help I'd be greatly appreciative.

You didn't download all the parts of the installer, did you?

Don't "Run" the installer when clicking the link, instead "Save" all parts to the same folder, then run the first one from wherever you saved them.

Another option is to use the GOG.com downloader, which fetches all the necessary files in one go, and supports resuming in case the game takes too long for you to download at once.

If your game comes in separate parts, there will be an .exe file (the installer) and several .bin files. Don't extract any of them, but make sure they're all in the same folder (i.e. if you DL the game into your 'Games' folder, for example, make certain all the files are in that folder). When you run the .exe then it should be able to find the files it needs.

choose C:\ to install too, the last game i have a problem about finding files i solved it by choosing to install to c:\gamefoldername.
i have also had success running the installer in safe mode, i have never had safe mode help me with anything, apart from a month or so ago getting a game installer to run!

I quite doubt that's the problem here though. Given the description, it sounds like they just clicked "Run" when the browser asked what to do with the 2MB executable file of a multipart installer.

Most (2.x) installers use C:\GOGcom by default anyway (though it remembers the last one you choose so might very well be C:\ for you), so the Program Files rights issue shouldn't happen.

So it was just installing all 3 parts first. I have never had to install a game with more than 1 installation so I am quiet noob at it. With this info I was able to get the game installed thank you for the help.
