If that does not solve the problem then please provide us system specs.

I'm having a similar problem to the one stated above, the complete warning message is as follows:

---

An installation support file 'C:\Docume~1\Jan-Ol~\Lokala~\Temp\{CA5DD6E1-B5084922-815D479E3228B17A}\setup.inx' could not be installed.

Data-error (CRC-error, Cyclic Redundancy Check)

How do I solve this? The part in the FAQ seemed to only apply to patches. I am using WinXP, btw.

Try this it should work.

Scandinavian EU2 installation problem (setup.inx)

This is a compatibility issue with some CD readers and the copy protection.

You can download a working file here:
http://www.paradoxplaza.com/files/patches/setup_inx.zip

Try to copy the whole installation to the hd and install from there. Put the downloaded setup.inx in the same folder and off you go. I just tested it and it works like a charm.

Don't copy the *.vpp files though

If you choose to make a custom installation and play music from the CD you will have to edit the music.ini file after installation. Just change as follows:

####My installation####

[Common]
music=c:\Program Files\Europa Universalis 2\MUSIC

####Change to####

[Common]
music=X:\MUSIC

Where X is the drive letter for your CD rom drive. After that you can delete all the installation files you copied manually from the CD.
