Hi, i just noticed that when i launch the installation file it says
"Installer files missing - please make sure you have downloaded all the parts. You will be asked for their location during the installation. Integrity check will be skipped."
When i choose any of 2 available files it says "Installation cannot proceed withtout the required file. Do you want to cancel."
I have both "setup_stalker_shoc_2.1.0.7.exe" and "setup_stalker_shoc_2.1.0.7.rar.", but i also downloaded "patch_s.t.a.l.k.e.r._shadow_of_chernobyl_2.0.1.6" which is the multiplayer patch.

The rar file is password protected maybe that's the reason i can't install, what can i do in that case? Thanks.

Do you really have both STALKER SoC part 1/2 and 2/2 in the same location? The multi-player patch is added afterwards, if desired. You need to click on part 1 to install the game.

Hello, yes of course but i thought i wasn't alone having this issues, i have searched and other people had this with another game though, if anyone would mind try it.

Really strange but I had no problems myself so cannot help any more than this, sorry. Maybe time to turn to GOG's pros.

You might be right, thank you for taking time with me.

Edit: i downloaded and installed GOG Galaxy(which i guess was called GOG Downloader previously). and managed to download it from GOG Galaxy and automatically installed the game.

Knight_Ken: "setup_stalker_shoc_2.1.0.7.rar."
FYI, this was your problem. Whatever you downloaded it with renamed the file to .rar. The setup is looking for the .bin file "setup_stalker_shoc_2.1.0.7.bin".

I just checked my library and the game only supports Windows and the the game files are one small .exe and one large .bin so something is fishy here. Maybe try changing the .rar to .bin? Redownloading? Any funny archiver programs installed that may be interferring?

Maybe you're right about that but i fixed this "issue" by downloading the game directly from GOG Galaxy.
So the game runs fine.
Thanks anyway.

I realize you didn't. It was whatever program you used to download it with "helpfully" renamed the file.

If you are really having the same problem, there are two solutions listed in this thread: Use GOG Galaxy to install the game, or fix the bad file extensions so that the game will install correctly.

Otherwise, more specific info is needed, like what files you downloaded, how do they appear in your download folder, and what steps did you take in trying to install the game.
