Some people are having trouble installing the Crysis demo, here are some trouble-shooting for common installation problems.

Symptoms:
  • Clicking the Crysis installation file and nothing happens, but an installation process shows up in the Windows Task manager.
  • Starting the Crysis installer opens a command prompt that instantly closes again.

Fix: The Crysis demo installation-file is a zip-archive, right click it and manually extract the files, make sure you have enough space on your C:\ drive for the temporary files (about 2GB).
