I got Bulletstorm from a friend last night. This is the third time that I have received a version of Bulletstorm due to major installation issues in which I just deleted, out of sheer frustration, the other two versions off my computer. I was so excited to finally install a “working” version of the game that I made no plans at all last night except to play Bulletstorm.
I mounted the game and started the installation and yet the same error occurred just like it had on the other two versions. In case anybody does actually read this and is having the same errors I had I’m going to break it down into what I did. I’ve got the Skidrow cracked version and you need to have an offline windows live account in order to login to the game to be able to save. So I clicked on the Auto-Run and a window popped up asking you where to install the game. It didn’t matter where I chose to install it as soon as you clicked next it popped up with this damn error code “Installation Failure 0x0800b010a”.
So if that happens to you just exit the installer. On the Bulletstorm disc, instead of clicking on the Auto-Run there is an executable file called “Gamemsi.exe“. Run that and that will install Bulletstorm completely bypassing the product key part.
FYI: That error code in the beginning (0x0800b010a) only happened on the XP side. On Windows 7 I got to install it from the Auto-Run using the serial key 1111-1111-1111-1111-1111. I suspect it’s something on the computer itself that prevents it from installing. I had no Anti-Virus when I installed this game and my firewall was turned off so it wasn’t that blocking it. I think it might be something else installed on my computer
Once it’s installed you copy the files from the Skidrow folder
Binarieswin32cudart32_30_9.dll
binarieswin32shippingPC-stormgame.exe
To the location where you guys have installed the game in Binarieswin32
You then have to delete these two files from the installation
binarieswin32shippingPC-stormgame.exe.zdp
Binarieswin32Zdpzdpconfig.xml
You can then update the game using the Title update from the folder. Just double click on the “setup.exe” and click next. Let it do its thing.
If you try to run the game and it pops up with a “skidrow.dll file is missing.” I suggest first trying to re-install the game. In the two instances that it happened to me on Windows 7 I had to manually find the file on the internet.
You can download the file here http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/6197813/Bulletstorm.Proper-SKIDROW-CrackOnly. Remember, you need a torrent client (e.g bittorrent, bitlord etc) to download torrents
Extract those files and copy it to the installation directory in Binarieswin32.
On XP all I did was reinstall the game and the title update and then the file was there for some reason. But that patch will work on Windows XP and Windows 7.
The game should run now and this is the part where you need your Windows Live Offline Account. If you don’t have Windows Live installed you can run the setup from the BulletStorm disc from the folder “Live”.
Only crap thing is, is that once installed you have to update Windows Live which isn’t to big (28mb I think) but for those of us who have no internet connection that kind of presents a problem. I would just connect my phone up and quickly update the thing and then create an offline profile from Windows Live itself.
Luckily I still have an old Windows Live account which thankfully works.
So once you get all that sorted out run the game, it will ask you to sign in, you do with your offline account and there you go, BulletStorm should work fine and you will be able to save your game.
If anybody has any problems please send me a message here and I would be more than happy to try and help.
If there was anything that I missed as well please leave a comment and let me know
Later
P.S Thanks to the Skidrow Team for all the patches you guys have done over the years. Kudos to 110% effort you guys always put in

hi Kodutta, sorry about the broken link, they removed that file from several different sites as well. The only way you are going to get that crack easily is if you download it from pirate bay. Just remember, in order to download from Pirate Bay you need to have a torrent application installed, like bit torrent, bit lord,etc etc.

what version of the game did you download? Skidrow or someone else?
The profile that you created. Was that through Windows Live or was it the method as was described above using Batman Arkham Asylum?
If you created it online through Windows Live just make sure that you created an offline account.
Also, check to see if you can’t download the title update from the skidrow site and try and re-install it.

The only way that I could create an offline account then was using batman arkham asylum. However I think that’s changed now as games for windows. You could still try downloading batman arkham asylum and cresting the account that way. As for the key on the skidrow version I just used 1111 in all the blocks

hi, this is even more late 😀
i just downloaded Bulletstorm few days back. And i can get the game up & running just fine. The problem comes while registering for Windows Live ID.
I have an ID & I login using it, but it asks for the game serial at a step in which the SKIDROW’s 11111-11111-11111-11111 is put in. This comes back as invalid obviously & I thus cannot get the game started.
Any ideas?

Hey James,
sorry for the late reply, being madness at work. To be honest with you I’m not to sure if the two files are included on an original copy, it might be because its not cracked. Check in these folders again, and make sure you can see all hidden files and folders. These files will only appear once you have installed the game. The only other thing i can think of right now is to uninstall it completley, then re-install it using the msi.exe file located on the disc instead of the autorun function.

Hi Neil,
It’s actually funny that you mention the bullet storm guide because a few weeks ago i re-installed it just to make sure that I remember how to do it and yeah i got it working again. What i used for the Windows Live account was the offline profile that i created through Batman: Arkham Asylum and that seemed to work fine. Which cracked version of Batman are you using? When i get home tonight i will re-install Bullet-storm to check to see what i did.
