"cyclic redundancy check"

[Guest]

I bought two copies of Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds. I can't load the
program on one of my computers. I have tried both copies of the disk and even
tried loading through the network using the other computers disk drive. The
install always stops on the same file. What's up with that?

The CD is bad.

I have two copies of the disk and they both do it in the same spot.
One of the computers loaded it with no problem. I tried to load it using the
other computers cd drive through my net work and it still hung in the same
spot.

CRC errors indicate a read error from the source drive. I'd try copying
the entire CD contents to your hard drive in a temp folder and run the
installer from there.

I tried that, it still hangs on the same .cab file.
No matter what drive I use, no matter what disk I use, this computer still
hangs on the same file.

Have you tried the maker of the game? It really has nothing to do with XP.

If you have any AV programs running, shut them down prior to installing the
game. I had this happen to me once and it did the same thing. Always stopped
on a certain file.

I've seen this several times, especially when someone has made a
"Pirated" version from a legitimate CD - this is by design from the Game
Manufacturer to put a bad block in on purpose at a specific location on the
CD - the install program knows about this bad block at this specific
location, skips in and continues the install process. But a copied (aka
Pirated copy) will have the bad block in the wrong place, thus creating the
specific error you have encountered.
My suggestion, take the CD's back to whom you purchased and inform them
of possible "Pirated" software, as the CD's you have are nothing more than
expensive coasters.

Both copies were bought at wal-mart. They don't look like pirates to me. One
of the computers installed the program without any problems. The computers
are very simular the one with the problem is a Compact, the other an HP. Both
disks are brand new, What could cause this besides the disk condition. I
uninstalled my Norton av also. still didn't work.
