Black & White 2 Installation Error. Very annoying.
I was remembering how fun Black & White 2 was a few days back and wanted to play again. To my dismay, i had lost my own copies of the game and its expansion. I found out that my friend was in possession of his own copies so I decided to borrow them from him. I eagerly put in the 1st disc of the origional BnW2 and started encountering a wall of an error that is driving me nuts.
This error occurs immediately after I agree to the Terms & Conditions and hit the "Next" button. Pretty much as soon as i click said button an windows error message pop up appears saying:
Black & White 2 has failed to install.
Your system has not been modified.
Please re-run the installer to try again.
Error: Unknown Error.
Now, my computer's specs are more than enough to run the game so I know that that isnt the problem. My immediate worry is that the CD is fairly scratched (As my friend has a habit of leaving discs out of thier cases) and I had assumed that the disc was simply no good untill i discovered that a few others had experienced the same problem. I did what was reccomended on other forums, my direct x is updated to 9c and i deactivated my antivirus for the installation but no matter what I try, the message keeps popping up. Another point i should bring up is that my AVG Antivirus was recognizing the "Black & White 2_code" file as a trojan virus which baffles me. It wouldnt make sense to say that the CD is simply bad as not only have other people had the exact same problem, but I remember my friend playing this game on his computer. Regardless, if there is no other way to fix this problem, then i suppose i will have to blame my friends bad handling.
I would be incredibly greatful if anyone could offer me some help with this. Does it sound like theres something wrong with my computer? The files on the CD? or should i simply try to get the CD buffed?
All help is appreciated!
