http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/a/a/4aafff19-9d21-4d35-ae81-02c48dcbbbff/MDAC_TYP.EXE

I propose to download and install it manually, This file is avialable on WayBack Machine:

Can't install

"Error happened during download"

Was installing this game, it was smooth until this error occured.

The link : http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/a/a/4aafff19-9d21-4d35-ae81-02c

Do you want to retry?

I clicked "yes", and it comes back to this window. 

What can I do? I really want to play this childhood game of mine on mac.

PERFECTLY SPLENDIT. RUNNED OUT OF THE BOX

Played 1h30.

I have installed Star Wars Battlefront 2 on my steam windows version with playonmac and wine and it has downloaded the game but when I go to click play through steam it pops up with a message saying it needs to update but there is no update and after 30 seconds or so another error pops up saying connection time out. So I can't get past this to actually open and play the game. Please help me solve this issue. Thank you!

Ok well I got the mod installed, but now the game won't start up at all. Any idea as to why this is happening?

Help

I have the 4 CD-ROM Set. I cannot get the installer to start installing (It asks if it wants to create a shortcut, which I select no) by throwing an error:

Unhandled Exception

Error Number: 0x80040707

Description: DLL functilon call crashed: LecSetup2.LecSetup_CheckDirectX

Setup will now terminate

There appears to be a patch for the slow loading.  Could you create a patched wine version from the solution described in this post?

Thanks!
