NeverwinterNights 2 ERROR_DX_INSTALL

During the installation of the NeverwinterNights game 2, I get the message: "String DX_Install is not found in the string table." And then the pop up: "ERROR_DX_INSTALL."

I downloaded DirectX end-user Runtime Web Installer, because the game uses DX 9 .0c but the same error occurred.

Hello

Method 1:

If you get this error at the end of the installation, it simply means that the Installer failed to detect DirectX 9 c. There are two steps to solve this problem:

Install the latest DirectX Runtimes User:

http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=35

It will not solve the installation program. However, it will ensure that you have the right dll files so that the real game can run without crashing.

Method 2:
Delete the DirectX installer directory folder:

If you have the digital download version, it's a fairly simple process. Unzip the installer somewhere using the executable that gave you. The installation should start automatically. Cancel it without having to install. Go anywhere where you have unpacked the installer and delete the subfolder named DirectX.

Start the installation by running autorun.exe in the installer directory. Install the game normally. At the end of the installation, the program will ask you to reinsert the disc. Simply press OK without changing anything.

The installer must ignore the part where it checks your installation of DirectX (which means that you can avoid the error message).

If you have the DVD version, you will need to copy it to your hard drive first (so that you can delete the subfolder). I have not tested.

CD KEY invalid during installation

For some obscure reason, uninstall the game and put it back, in the same folder results in this error message.

The uninstaller leaves a file behind called nwncdkey.ini. It seems that this file is in fact the culprit here.

Simply remove it before attempting to install again.

For example, if you try to install the game in
C:\Program Files\Atari\Neverwinter Nights 2

Make sure that there is no nwncdkey.ini it first!

Method 3:

You also, try to install the game in the clean boot state.

Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

Note: After a repair, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    I was able to get the game running in Windows 7 and Vista.

    Vista I deleted the shortcut on the desktop, as I had it already installed before finding the compatibility issue.  When I installed Windows 7 I chose not to install the shortcut - according to a thread I had followed.

    The most difficult thing to solve the problem was to find the patch. I can not even find the page it is on, but when I typed

    The patch downloaded and installed very easily.

    After you have installed the patch, I ran the "make older programs run in this version of windows" - using XP service pack 2 (Vista) and either 2 or 3 in Windows 7.
