I tried to reinstall my game and encountered the same problem at disc 3. It's also strange that I don't even have a directory "Codemasters" in Program files. I've installed this game several times since I bought it many years ago. Any ideas how to get round this?

This happened to me too (on windows vista) Basically the computer cant read the disk, once it copies all the files to program files and the error is encountered the folder is deleted.

If I am not mistakend there are promo videos on the 3rd disk. To get around this:

1) Manually create a folder called "codemasters" > "operation flashpoint" in your Program files folder

2) then manually copy the contents of disk 3 in to that folder ...\Codemasters\Operation Flashpoint\...

The run the installer again and it should work

Hi Martin and thank you for taking time to answer my question. Unfortunately it didn't help. I created the folder and went through the installation routine including disc 3. The same problem occurred. Then I tried to create the folder and install disc 1 and 2 and but then choose cancel when it asked for disc 3, but it similarly failed again.

This is a stupid problem really. Everything fails due to some unnecessary promo videos.

yes yes I too am having this problem...will try martin's suggestion right now

I have gotten OFP to install (no guarantee it will work for you )

what I did was go to Program Files and create a folder named Codemasters and in that folder make another called Operation Flashpoint then from CD 3 drag and drop the Promo folder into Operation Flashpoint folder and try installing again

I tried that aswell but it didn't help. The same happened again and all the content of the promo folder was deleted.

Try downloading OFP GOTY from <censored> or something, its not really pirating the game since you did buy it and have a CD key
