Hi,

Was curious to see if anyone else is having problems with a setup.exe being corrupted on the American release? I'm not sure if I have run into a bad batch of CD's (have tried two from EB) or something's up hardware-wise on my machine but I receive NUMEROUS erros when running the install...pressing retry gets through most files but then the install loops on the intro avi.

Any input would be much appreciated.
 
I'd say try to install on another machine, to make sure it's not the shiney disk.

greetings, Oranje
 
Yeah, I actually experienced the same problem on the
US/CAN version. I re-installed it and it seemed
alright afterwards... Although I do get the annoying
white square at the begining when I load the game and
in order to play I do have to wait a full minute
for the game to start.
 
The small white square is the Macrovision copy protection software at work.

In regards to a bad CD. You can try copying the CD contents into a temporary folder on your hard drive. If there is a problem reading the CD you should get the standard windows response to abort or retry. If it copies ok try running the large setup.exe file from the hard drive.
