Dotp 2013 tetha's installer

Whenever I reinstall Dotp 2013 theta I have to wait a lot of minutes between my double click and the opening of the installation window (only with this game, and also with a pc still formatted)
I thought it was some other process but with clean pc, and each time, and so long time that I forgot that I was reinstalling it before it started...
Someone could help to "normalize" this wait time?

It must be because of your antivirus, but it's perfectly normal: the executables get scanned by the antivirus before being executed, so the bigger the executable is, the longer it takes before starting. The best practice would be to put the files to install in a separate archive, but theta often puts everything inside the executable.

Do you use theta? If you use too if you could link the source from where you downloaded with different archieve I could use the same

I didn't say that there was another installer, I only said that theta often doesn't follow the best practice and DotP2013 is one of those cases.

Is it so important? Do you install DotP2013 everyday? :lol:

Now that I know that it is normal it isn't so important

More important that I noticed that the game is in english, also if I found more languages in the directory "lang"
This is normal, because it never asked to chose the language during installation, and I never noticed because I had already installed Skidrow that asks and maybe it uses the same profile

I also tried with no results to delete the other files in "lang" than Italian, but nothing changed

Can't Theta be italian?

Yes, but you don't need to delete anything: double-click lang\italian.bat and the game will run in Italian (until you execute another file in the lang directory).

It works for me, so I don't know what to say.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, if you are using Windows Vista/7/8 you could try to run the file as administrator.

The man of the year!
Thank you :D

Edit and Off: Could I set my own PC to run always as administrator? So that I can avoid to remember to do (if I will reinstall)? I'm the only user! Or it could cause problem?
