Hello,

When installing Football Manager 2008, after choosing the French language, an error message appears: "Unable to run the installer in graphical mode. The graphical mode of the installer is not supported. Unable to load and to prepare the installer in GUI mode." To give you a better idea, here's a screenshot of my problem:

My configuration is not bad at all. After a format, I installed the latest versions of the drivers. I would also like to point out that this is not a downloaded game but indeed an original one. I tried with pirated versions (I know it's not right) to see if there was an issue with my original version, and I have the same problem. I also tested my CD at friends' houses, two different configurations, and the game installs...

Could there be a compatibility issue with my configuration?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help ^^

Hello,
I had the same problem as you, and I think like you, I searched the internet.
I found a solution that worked for me.
Actually, you need to create a new user account and install the game from there...
I don’t really understand why that worked, but oh well...
Long live computing :)

Have fun playing.

T!^^, I have never received a response. I tried on the FMEurope forum and on the Sports Interactive forum (the publisher), but got no answer in either case.

Do you have a graphics card similar to mine? Are we the only two people with this problem? It's frustrating to buy a game that doesn't work... Someone please come and help us. Thank you ^^

Thank you Ciabhan!!! Indeed, it works now! I don't understand why this bug happened either, but as long as it works, I'm fine with it. Thanks again to you! ^^

Hello,
hi guys, I also have a problem every time I try to install it, a white window pops up saying "new part", I click on it and it goes back to the desktop. If you could help me please, I've tried everything and I don't understand.

Hi,

I'm having the same issue; I can't install the game. I've created a new user account, but I'm still encountering the same problem, with the same error message: "Unable to run the installer in graphical mode. The graphical mode of the installer is not supported. Unable to load and to prepare the installer in GUI mode."

Does anyone know how I can make it work, please!!! It runs perfectly on my desktop PC (Windows XP Pro), but I can't get it to work on my laptop (Windows Vista Ultimate Edition), even though the specs are much better and the graphics card too.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello,

I have a problem with FM 08, I can't install the patches I've downloaded!

Let me explain more clearly: I download the patch, I unzip the file with BitZipper, then I put it in "my documents/sports interactive/football manager/db"!

In the game, I start a new save and nothing has changed!!
