    Technically, when installing a fitgirl rip, it is doing an extraction only, just with some extra UI elements and other features like installing dependencies.

      With the added complexity that it can fail for reasons I don’t comprehed. If it was just extracting that wouldn’t fail under any circumstances.

        The only times it has failed on me was because either the storage device or RAM were faulty. It’s definitely worth it to check both for errors every once in a while, as financially devastating as it is to replace either.

      why does it require admin rights to run, then? right at startup, and if you try to run it with a tool that fakes admin rights, it will crash (unlike other installers it can successfully make run)

        They need admin privileges to write to directories such as C:/Program Files, if I had to guess - I didn’t need privileges when installing Halo: Combatevolved Butworse on Linux

          but I always installed them on my other drive where it did not need such privileges. it works on linux because here everything runs as admin (in the wine world, it’s not admin in the linux world)
