Didn't say the specific file i think.

Didn't take screen, seem to be working for most people.

I don't have the newest deamon tools, but it don't think that would affect this kind of error.

4.30.4.0027 DT Lite

It extracts the 2 normal dvds in dvd 2 at the end of installation it's a mistake .. dat corrupted and terminates the installation I just download and this problem with the DVD 2! Extract the 2 dvds normal at the time of installation stall asks for DVD 2 ai at the end of the installation dvd 2 with an error of more than 90 percent of the installation completed i closed the installation dvd 2 is corrupted


Same problems as i had, found some more in other smaller forums, but it don't seem to be a very wide spread problem, must be something wrong with the torrent transfer or something.

Maybe. Redownload disc 2 from elsewhere, at least it's not all useless.

If you have the image files (Should be ISO) extract both (Use folder name or something like that might help.) and copy the Disc 2 content to the Disc 1 content to make a compelte installer (Some files will be overwritten but they are identical.) and then try installing again with this, can remove the DirectX and support files if you want to as well if it's already installed. (Needs updated DirectX, PhysX and VC++ runtimes.)

EDIT: Corrupted disc then, perhaps if you use torrents or similar just download the data over and verify it's integrity unless of course your source has a incomplete set to "seed".

I tried to unrar it again, trying to install atm.

I got it from torrentleech, and they have many dls by now, seems to be working for most of them, this is just werid Smile

Im sure 90% of all releases on the big sites are the same files from the start. Must be something wrong when i dled it, but all files are 100% done in Utorrent, and no errors during unpacking etc.

If the extraction worked then the rar archives (Unless it's unpacked beforehand.) should be just fine, perhaps updating 7-zip or winrar or what you use would help if it's some issue there?

My point is, if there is no error during the unpacking, the download should be fine, correct?

Im wondering how the problem can be solved by downloading the exact same files again, even if it is another source?

Indeed the archives should be fine unless the extraction process glitches which is why I suggested updating whatever program you use to extract the files with but as it's usually standard zip or rar files it shouldn't make a difference.

Try to unpack both discs (Rar files can open ISO archives.) together as I mentioned previously and install that way, if possible as the installer uses a extraction system for the RAR archives check it to see what it's currently processing so the archive that causes the error can be identified.
(Alternatively open all rar archives on disc 2 by hand to see if they can be opened properly.)

I also got problems when installing, it quits installation on disc 1 when unpacking the movies.rar file. Help?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found a solution made by Bioware for Mass Effect 1 which I used for this game and it works Smile
But it's not for pc amateurs..
