Installer Problem

[Xendance]

So I finally got my game, the german version of ArmA. After much drooling I set the DVD in the drive and set in the cd-key yaddayaddayadda....

It went fine except at uninstaller.exe it displays this

and then the installer rolls back leaving nothing installed.

I tried extracting the data manually from the DVD but it didn't work. Screen just went black and then it returned to the desktop. I guess this is because I don't have the registry files installed.

I know this isn't the german forum, but I can't understand german so I'm forced to ask help here.

Any ideas how to make it install?

try removeing service pack 2, install the game, then re-install service pack 2, this was the only way I could install some games (right pia) finally had enough of the crap and reformated the HD, re- installed XP and SP2 and everything was fine there after.

I never found out why SP2 was causing this problem (even tried re-installing SP2 prior to the format but that didn't work either) but by uninstalling SP2 I stopped getting the "Installation was Interupted" error.

Also found these details that may help (http://www.rm.com/Support/TechnicalArticle.asp?cref=TEC155657&nav=0)

Might be worth trying?

upgrading the firmware of the dvd-drive

Another possibility is NOT clicking on the error message and rebooting you system.
