FM 2008 Demo Incoming News
SI Games confirms the impending release of the Football Manager 2008 demo...
By Chris LeytonPosted: 24/09/2007
In a forum update, SI Games' Miles Jacobson has confirmed that the Football Manager 2008 demo will be available on September 30th.
Two different versions of the demo are being shaped up. The "Strawberry" version available to download from www.sigames.com includes all player pictures and logo's, quickstarts from the biggest leagues and multiple language options. The "Vanilla" version available via the News of the World website is restricted to just the English language, English and Scottish leagues, with no player photo's or logo's.
Additionally SI Games also announced that it has secured the license for the French Ligue de Football Professionnel, covering the 1st and 2nd divisions with real club names, logo's and kits for all the clubs in those leagues. The Dutch national team has also been welcomed back to the fold, along with licenses from Italy for Sampdoria and Fiorentina.

That's gotta be wrong... FM08 shouldn't take up much more than 1GB of HDD space.
I'd recommend uninstalling it all (from Control Panel) and starting again...

Sorry mate, I'm stumped on that one. 39.8 GB is a lot of space though. Can you confirm that that much space has actually gone from your hard drive (i.e. by right clicking on your C drive in 'My Computer' and selecting 'Properties'), or is it just the FM08 file that lists a 39.8 GB size?

Also, if you can get hold of the error description from the installation log (you might be able to find that as a notebook file in the FM08 folder on your hard drive), then paste it up on our comment board and I'll see if I can find a solution online.

Okay, try uninstalling everything that relates to FM 2008 on your hard drive (go "Control Panel", "Add or Remove Programs" etc.), as well as any other FM08 files.
Then make sure that nothing is running on your desktop (no browser windows etc.) and install the game using the method I mentioned before.
When running through the installer, be sure to tick the box "Create Desktop Shortcut". If you're running the game in Vista, this might be what is responsible for the installation errors.
Let me know if that works.
