Demo install problem on music pc station -ACID Product Family

Subject:Demo install problem on music pc station Posted by: riffkool Date:1/29/2002 1:56:13 PM I have downloaded the acid demo from this site on my work pc. I want to install it at home on my pc music station. I have no modem or other unecessary cards or clutter to allow me to download it direct so i tried to burn the acid.exe demo on cd at work and install it at home. I keep getting corrupt .exe messages from the cd everytime. How can i burn the acid demo to cd to take it home to try it!

It must be a setting in your burrning software, If your settings are setup to "Make Smart Desission" about weather or not to close the disk, Over ride this setting and close disk manually See ya, Rockit

Subject:RE: Demo install problem on music pc station Reply by: MyST Date:1/29/2002 3:38:03 PM When you download the demo to a specific folder, you should see a self-extracting file for it. Burn that file to your CD. I'm not trying to oversimplfy things, but I've done this and it worked fine. Since this is a data CD I don't think closing your burning session matters. If the download worked on your work PC, and you burned the self-extracting file to CD, the problem must be in the burn process. Again, not trying to oversimplify, make sure you've defragged, cancelled your auto-detect on your anti-virus (if you have one), and don't do anything else with your PC when you burn. Cancelling your screensaver is also a good idea. HTH Later.
