It won't let me install it!

When Disc 2 is in during installation it comes up with an error saying

"The cabinet file 'Disc2C~1.cab required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used"

Sounds like a dodgy disc. I think you'll have to return it.

That sucks. Happened to me once, sucks even more if it takes ages to get to the shop. :(

I just got my new copy and started to install and FOR F*CK SAKE IT STILL HAS THAT ERROR MESSAGE!
There must be something wrong with my PC! Please help someone if you can, as I am VERY PISSED OFF.

That is strange. they could have just sent the same one back. it defo sounds like it is the disc. have you been through the add/remove thing? removed all the files from the original install?

Make a folder on your PC, and copy all the files from the disc into that folder.

Run the installer from the folder on your PC and tell me what happens.

Hey all, I ended up phoning Microsoft Product Support and the guy was really friendly and helpful, and I ended up installing it okay THANK GOD!
It seemed that my Windows Installer was outdated so I updated it and the installation didn't work first time(still had some errors) but I kept trying and eventually got it to finish without any errors. Me = relieved.
