Hmmm, easy info says it should work thats good thing then, how about the disk, is it new, used, scratched?
this is my opionon, completely uninstall
then do a super cleanup, and a defrag of system, then try reinstall. other than that maybe one of these other peep can help.

Disk 1 is scratched a bit but disk 2 looks 100x better. I tried cleaning the disk and it didn't help. Would one of those scratch repair things make a differnece?
I just ordered a new set of discs. We'll see if that fixes the problemComment

if there's a pro place near you that re- surface's disk i'd try that , but if you done ordered new disks i dont guess its biggie.

Its all ordered. If it doesn't fix it, it was only 20$, not a huge loss. The game installed fine on a previous computer about 3 months ago with no problems which makes me wonder.Comment

This is as far as it gets. I accidently clicked out of the error message thoComment

Re: Cannot complete instalation???
hmm, i seen the error, i've never had that happen to me before, when my disk was bad it just wouldnt do anyting other than give me a list, when i'd hit install it would just sit there.
ihope its simple as a scratch disk.

Re: Cannot complete instalation???
i would say its a scratched Disk error, i used to have something not the same but similar with my C&C Generals CD =(
bought new one and it worked...though of course i cant say for sure if this is the problem you have.Comment

Re: Cannot complete instalation???
Got it resolved. Had to disable all the security(Symatec and windows) and it worked. I guess I have an extra version of BF2 on the way lolComment

first for me, i didnt think a firewall (if that was it)would block a install.Comment
