How to fix Football Manager 2009 installation problems

Tuesday, November 18, 2008

There are a few reported problems when the Football Manager 2009 installation does not work as it should. If you get errors while you are installing the game and you can't fix that, here is what you have to do in order to solve the problem:

1. Download the official FM 2009 fix file from the SI website here.
2. Unzip the contents of the archive to your desktop.
3. Double click the FM09Fix.exe file.
4. Extract the files anywhere, pressing Install will place them on the desktop, this is the default behaviour. Two files will be extracted – Launcher.exe and Activator.exe
5. Double click Launcher.exe and you will see a dialog box prompting you for your license key.
6. Enter your license key into the dialog.
7. Press OK - then wait 30-60 seconds and you will receive a second message.

If your message reads: "Activation completed successfully. Please try to run the game." Open the game and run it.

If the activation fails, you will have another message. For example, in case the number is -1003 indicates that your license key is invalid. If the error is -1003 enter your license key into the form at here.

If it is another error, try sending users Muzchap or JMordetsky a personal message via SI Games official forums.
