And then I get this error http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/1359/cod4hxf.jpg

archie123, I read your link and I have some questions if you dont mind!
Install the package to a folder that is not encrypted.
Use this method if you receive the error message because you try to install the Windows Installer package to a folder that is encrypted.
Click to expand...
what is an encrypted folder?

Install the package to a drive that is not accessed as a substitute drive.
Use this method if you receive the error message because the drive that contains the folder that you try to install the Windows Installer package to is accessed as a substitute drive.

And that I have no idea.
Maybe I should try to browse open the CD and run the setup as an adminstrator like you suggested!


Edit: Well I tried to run the setup as an adminstrator, that didnt work well. I recongnized that my screenies wasnt really the best one, here a new one.

I have no idea, but I installed it before without any problems. And then a friend of mine borrowed it and it was a long time ago, so I wanted to play it once agian, and it didnt work. Should I try to extract all the files?

ok...

right click the installation file...

scroll down to ''properties'' & select

select ''compatibility''

select ''XP SP2'' & apply

exit & run the app (as ADMIN of course)


for ''safe mode'' you'll have to reboot..;)


reboot machine, keep tapping F8 upon boot

select ''safe mode''

when you reach the desktop locate the COD4 installer & try again..

is your E drive your dvd drive? If so the issue is with the drive or the disk , most likely the disk , can you try and install it on a friends pc see if the disk is still ok?

do other disks read/install ok?

I installed cod4 fine on Vista x64 so i dont think its a compatibility issue

Click to expand...

mine also went on without the use of ''compatibility mode'', but lets eliminate it as a possibility..

i see he edited his post, it never worked....... the disc may be scratched.

I also think that the CD is scratched, because It worked before. And its on a laptop.I can try it on my other comp. But cant I try to extract all the files inside the CD on the comp? If so how do I do that:huh::)

N mate you cant the games anti piracy software wont allow it , there are way and means and it'll take you about 10 seconds to find those on google but its frowned upon ;)

Even though you are doing this for perfectly valid reasons its still a breach of the games copywrite
