Lunch install prompt

[DarkMatter]

I don't know how to be more specific but does anyone know a way or why everytime i lunch Doom 3 BFG edition that i get the steam install prompt.

It should be a one time thing, it always had been and was for all my other games except this one. Everytime i lunch it i get the popup window asking me to install, what gives.

Checked the file intergraty and all is well.

and then the game immediately crashes and gives you a blue error window?

If game runs fine after installation for you then you can fix that install prompt by yourself.
You need to run "regedit.exe" and open this path:
For 32bit OS

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Valve\Steam\Apps\208200

For 64bit OS

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WOW6432NODE\Valve\Steam\Apps\208200

And create DWORD value keys and set them to 1, so they will look like this:

directx
MSVC

Close regedit and start the game.

It helped me. Thank you very much

Got me past the steam install phase. Thanks.

easier to use RBDoom 3 BFG and no registry changes needed

All the real credit goes to partof (whose post I am quoting) for knowing which keys to create/update. These instructions are just to possibly make things a little easier for people who want to minimize their interactions with the MSW registry. :) For reference, this is the original post (you can see it a few posts up, too):

If you don't want to follow those instructions, you can create a file with a ".reg" extension (like "doom3-bfg-fix.reg", for example) using Notepad etc. and then just double-click it. Like above, the contents are different depending on whether you're on a 32-bit or 64-bit OS.

• It doesn't matter what the filename is, as long as it ends with ".reg"
  
• It doesn't matter where you save the file
  
• Creating/saving the file doesn't do anything; nothing gets modified until you double-click it and when you do that you'll get first a UAC prompt (that's Microsoft User Access Control, not our own beloved but morally bankrupt Union Aerospace Corporation :D) and then a confirmation prompt from the Registry editor itself asking if you're sure.
  
• Yes, the "Windows Registry Editor Verson 5.00" bit is part of the file

For 32-bit OSes

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Valve\Steam\Apps\208200]
"directx"=dword:00000001
"MSVC"=dword:00000001

For 64-bit OSes

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Valve\Steam\Apps\208200]
"directx"=dword:00000001
"MSVC"=dword:00000001

Or simply delete file "installscript.vdf" from game folder.

Thnxs, i was missing MSVC line in my register. It sucks i read the post from RaferoForever as latest after fixing it. It is definitively the easiest solution.
