How to make my MW2 Install off DVD?

Tythus · 10 Nov 2009 at 20:04

I have gotten my MW2 and I cannot seem to beable to install any of the content off my DVD as Steam is demanding I download the entire 12GB + Patches of data any way I can stop this?

Had the same and found this...

1. Close Steam (File > Exit).
2. Go to the Start button and select Run (XP) or type Run in the Search box and choose Run from the list (Vista).
3. In the Run window type:

"C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -install E:

Replace E: with the CD/DVD drive you are installing from if is not correct.
Replace C:\Program Files\Steam if your Steam installation is not in the default location.

4. Press OK. Your installation should continue from the disc.

Weird. I literally just did that at it worked fine. All installed now for me from the CD.

NVM I figured out why the UK servers are being overloaded so when ever it tried to confirm it would not get a message back so then try to install by the usual way so I just lied and said I live in the US instead, installing like a treat.
