Problem installing FT3

Rogue

Hello!
I am having a weird problem installing FT3. I got to the installation part, and all it does is the bar lights up for three seconds, goes white for three seconds, and cycles through this. It has been going for about an hour now with no progress. any ideas? The words "Windows Installer" is all that shows up as far as text.

What version of Windows are you using?
Are you connected to the net when running the installer?
Do you have UAC disabled along with any anti-virus software during the install?
Are you right clicking and running the installer as an Admin if on Vista or higher?

Windows 10
yes
no
no

I installed it on an older Machine (Windows 7), transferred it to an External Hard Drive, transferred it from external Hard drive to my windows 10 computer, and that resolved the issue. A different sort of workaround, but it worked.

Glad your work around got it to work.

I'm suspecting the install problem may be related to what folder FT is installed in. Some other users reported install problems with other ProFantasy software & Windows 10 because of this.

You always need to run any ProFantasy installers as a Admin in Vista & up, & sometimes turn of UAC.

Also, when you run FT3 in Vista & up you need to run it as an Admin or some functions don't work depending on what folder you installed it into.

I installed FT3 in its own folder as admin. C:\FT3\ works for me on Win 8.1, and Vista.

now I am having another problem, I have been making some floorplans for my game, they look great in CC3, but when I load them into Fantasy grounds and try to magnify they break down into pixels and become unclear, when am I doing wrong?

What resolution are you exporting them (save as) at? Most of the folks recommend 50 pixels per 5ft square, for battlemaps.
