The saboteur error 1638

[Orolles]

Hi,

I cant install The Saboteur. Error 1638.

@Orolles Is it saying anything about the game already being installed?

Can you try navigating to the Origin Games folder, then make a backup of the entire The Saboteur folder. Move this to another location. 

Then open the Control Panel > Programs and Features. Uninstall the Saboteur game that's there, then move the backup folder back to the Origin Games folder. 

Origin should then detect and install the game properly. 

Thanks, I hope this helps.

Hi David,

Thank you, it works!

No the message say nothing about the game being installed, and I cant uninstall from Origin. Then, when I back up the game some file cannot be read. But when I open Origin and install the game it works without error message!

Thank you!

Ah, good to hear. Sorry about any confusion over the error message, but the main point is that it's resolved now. 

Thanks!
