JCav75 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hey guys, I've got MVP2005 for the PC and the game is not installing properly, and I was wondering if you guys could help me out. The game installs fine up until 53% at which point the installation stops and my computer can't read a file called TP03patcher.dll. The install then prompts me to retry or cancel the install and retrying only makes the pop-up appear once again. I've done a registry cleaner, and everything I could think of and nothing seems to work. Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Junior21 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I had that problem. Open the cd rom for a few seconds then close it. Don't know what happened but it worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCav75 Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 my computer has no cd rom tray. it's just a slot, so i can't keep it 'open' persay. --any other ideas as to why my computer seems to think it's a read-only file and then can't even read the TP03patcher.dll file?

arod914 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 you say you just got the game...is the disk scratched? If so, I believe there are ways to "restore" cds although I have never done that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's outside of the point. Take the cd out, put it back in when it reaches the stuck spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRog Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 you have the disks or images? The game freezes at 53% if you have the mini images of the game mounted on your computer during install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCav75 Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 i'm sorry i'm decent with computers but i dont know what you mean. can you walk me thorough how or what i might do to fix that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRog Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 nevermind, if you don't know what mini images are your probably not using them then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim825 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Do you have Antivirus software running? If so, disable it and then try installing the game. I remember that my old Antivirus software would make software installations very slow because it would scan each file before allowing it to be written to the hard drive. In some cases, it would cause my installations to freeze up. When I disabled the Antivirus software, the installation went much quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broll Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Hey guys, I'm new to these forums but I've always loved and played the MVP Baseball games... I AM using the mini images instead of a hard copy (cause I have so many games ) And I am experiencing this same problem. It stops on 53% for this stupid looking DLL file. No ignore option. I've already spent two boxes of tissues crying over this, could someone pleeeeeze help!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broll Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 No luck. Stopped at 53% on tp03patcher.dll as before. There should be a frikkin ignore option! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro23 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 No luck. Stopped at 53% on tp03patcher.dll as before. There should be a frikkin ignore option! Have you tried using the original discs for the installation? What you are running into I believe, is a common problem when using images for installation.
