Hi Dudes,
My mate sent me a LEGIT copy of COD2 as he got it free with a GFX card he got for a Build, Anyways.
I cannot instal it and get the following error;

Have you tried copying the contents of the DVD to the hard drive, and running it from there?

Use a program like Alchohol 120% or Daemon tools and make an image of it on your hard drive, and then mount it and install it that way. See if it's anything. Sounds as if it cant load the installer.

This problem may occur if one of the following conditions is true:
• You run the Setup program from a virtual drive created through the subst command.
• The driver IDriver.exe is not registered correctly.
• The installer Msiexec.exe is not registered correctly.
• The user account does not have permission to access the C:\Windows\Installer folder.
• An older version of the Windows Installer engine was installed from a network drive that is no longer available.
• The user account does not have permission to install software on the computer.
• Another instance of Msiexec.exe is running.
• Another Windows Installer-based Setup program is running.
• Windows XP is damaged

Reinstall the InstallScript engine
To reinstall the InstallScript engine from InstallShield Developer, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Windows Explorer.
2. Open the following folder: C:\Program Files\InstallShield\Developer\Redist\Language Independent\i386.
3. Double-click Isscrpt.msi.
4. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen

Im now having this problem with Silent Hunter III. I've tried all the points in this thread but still having the same problem.

I've made an image and put the game onto my hard drive but still can't install it. Any ideas?
