Hi Guys.
Hoping someone can help me.
I am trying to instal Myst 4 Revelation.
I have tried using administration and also switching off my antivirus program.
I am getting a little further into the installatrion, when I first started the instal would freeze after 75% of input, but now it will fully load, but, I get a message saying 'Access denied. Login with administration priveliges and retry.' when I try to play.
Is there anyone out there who can give me some guidance, PLEASE.
Thanking you.

What operating system is on your computer?

I found a thread here that sounds similar to your problem. Hopefully the techies will be able to give you some further advice.

To run with Administrative privilege you right-click the setup.exe file (or whatever the installer file is called in Myst 4) and choose to Run As Administrator.

Be sure not to install the game to the default C:\Program Files.
Install to your user's (My) Documents folder or to some other folder that Windows doesn't try to "Protect."

You don't say which version of Windows you have.
This is what it says about Myst IV in the ***Windows 7 and Games*** thread:
Quote:
Myst 4 Revelation Judith bowed to her masochistic side and braved the triple slider chair puzzle in on her 64-bit Win 7. She installed both patches and the game played fine. *NOTE* After losing large patches of hair trying to get this game to run on her 64-bit Win 7 without success, Cissy found the culprit was her dual monitors. When she turned one monitor off, the game played just fine.


I think there was a patch (from Ubusoft themselves) that removed the SafeDisc DRM. SafeDisc didn't used to prevent a game from installing, only from playing, but I'm not sure what recent Windows updates have done. Anyway, your version of Windows is important to know.

You could also try changing compatibility mode on the installer file (even though it's on the DVD) to XP or earlier before running the installer.
