Ok, here is a little problem:

after having deleted EU2 from my computer a couple of months ago (women... don't ask), i have now tried to re-install it, only to be met with this friendly message:

Component: common_avi
File group: common_avi
File: E:\avi\paradox.bik
Error: Data error (cyclic redundancy check)


now, my knowledge of computers is very limited, but this doesn't sound good...

anyway, the back of the box sais bink video, paradox and ubi soft. don't know which one of those you guys need to figure out which version it is that i have, but that is pretty much all there is on there.

Any ideas?

Make sure the CD is clean.
Then try and copy the whole CD to the Hard drive and install from there.
