Muv-Luv Installation Issues

[exsion]

Hi guys, this is my first post of the forums. This is the first visual novel game that I have ever tried to play, so it is a big step for me and I am very excited to try it out. But I have been having a couple of issues that have been stopping me:

1. During the installation of the mounted image, I get an error message that says: "Error: loader couldn't initialize service!"

2. After playing around with the error message from step 1, I was able to install it properly and tried to run the English patch next. Another error came up and I chose to click the ignore button to allow it to finish.

3. I pressed the "Game Start" button I got the same message from step 1: "Error: loader couldn't initialize service!".

4. As a side note, I accidentally ran the application that read: "Run DTLite.exe inside the above folder" without thinking it was just instructions. It's the file inside that is called Step 1 and made by company Dead'Soul. Was it harmful to run this file? Nothing happened so far.

Thank you for any feedback.

Did you download it from Fuwanovel? If so, follow this guide:

Let me know if this doesn't work!

PS: Uninstall whatever previous attempts you made, and start fresh.

Yeah it's strange, I got it working after re-trying a couple times.

But what's with the 1) file that says "Run DTLite?

I ran that file accidentally and it doesn't do anything?

Hi, I'm having trouble installing Muv-Luv too, I'm doing it the same way as the guide, but whenever I try to install it it suddenly goes to 99% and some japanese text shows and finally it says Error: loader couldn't initialize service!
