Error when trying to install 3DMark


Question

I am trying to install 3DMark basic edition downloaded from futuremark directly. When I go to run the installer, UAC pops up needing permission, which I give it. However after about 10 seconds the installer starts running and I get this message:

error.thumb.PNG.7e93f90c3d61ab2ee6e94c4d56fba1df.PNG 

So what do I do in this situation? Obviously if I decline UAC it will not install, but it clearly says that it won't install with privileges!?

Have you tried a non admin command prompt ...

go to the installation folder and type

3dmark-setup.exe /quiet /install

No, I'll try that, thanks!

Still calls UAC!

Do you have UAC turned off via regedit using the EnableLUA setting? Try undoing that.

 

You really do have a lot of system/OS issues lately... I suspect you are tweaking stuff and messing with settings that don't need to be messed up honestly.

No, and the only other issue I am having is most likely related to Fences, I am not 'tweaking' anything, this installation is 3 days old now.

Disable UAC temporarily? 

...and you're not using the built Administrator account are you?  Reading through some of Futuremark forums ... that seems to be an issue with installing 3DMark.

By disable, you mean turn the slider down to do not notify? No I am not using the built in account.

Right click the installer and go to properties, if there is a button that says Unblock, click that and try again.

no button to unblock, and just to try and lowered UAC to do not notify, and when I ran the installer, nothing happened.

@Mando, I am going there as I type, will see what happens.

    • Let me guess, just big hyped cut scenes for what is really just more run around in the same old static urban zone machine gun vs. sniper game play.
    • I am not seeing a huge difference there.
    • This is what I came here to say even if just for a dedicated Windows PC gaming box. Gaming is the only use case have to use Windows these days.
    • The Outer Worlds 2 gets an October release date, reveals companion details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After Avowed, Obsidian Entertainment's next grand RPG was already revealed to be releasing in 2025, but during the Xbox Games Showcase today, it finally received a firm release date: October 29. Check out the new story trailer above. While the original was set in Halcyon, this time, the story is set in Arcadia, a brand-new setting that's described as a lawless frontier. Also cut off from Earth, this land is pressured by human conflicts as well as mysterious space-time rifts. "You’ve been sent in as an Earth Directorate agent, but how you handle the mission – who you help, hinder, or exploit – is entirely your call," says Obsidian today. "Build your character with expanded traits, flaws, and backgrounds that shape every decision and unlock new ways to fight, sneak, talk, or blow things up." The RPG will let players get involved with three clashing factions this time: The Protectorate, Auntie’s Choice, and The Order of the Ascendant. Each of them is attempting to advance their own version of humanity's optimal future. Each of these factions has tout own hub areas, followers, audio design, and propaganda elements, with the war between the trio changing all of these as the story progresses depending on player choices. "RPG systems have been reimagined for this sequel to give players more freedom and more flavor," adds the company. "For example, traits and flaws dynamically evolve based on how you play. Steal enough and you’ll be offered Kleptomaniac, which boosts loot sales but risks auto-theft when you so much as glance at an item." Obsidian also detailed the companions players will be able to meet and ally with in their journeys: Niles: Another Earth Directorate recruit torn between duty and defection. Inez: A former experiment from Auntie’s Choice with a grafted combat edge and a moral core. Aza: A chaos-loving Rift worshipper with a taste for violence and room to grow – maybe. Marisol: A stoic killer from the Order of the Ascendant with calculations to settle. Tristen: A walking tank and judge from the Protectorate, looking to dispense justice – or redefine it. Valerie: A floating, chirping support unit with unexpected upgrades and untapped potential. The Outer Worlds 2 is releasing on October 29, 2025 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. As usual for an Xbox game, it will be available to Game Pass subscribers on day one for no extra cost. Don't forget that Obsidian also has Grounded 2 releasing next month into early access too.
    • I love space RPGs, and this one will no doubt scratch that itch. Im still modding the crap out of Starfiled. Can't wait.
