Hey,
Everytime I try to install a software or even unzip a file I get the following error : "An I/O error occurred while installing a file. This is normally caused by bad installation media or corrupt installation file."
I have these problem usually when I try to install games like Call of Duty, which is the one that Im currently trying to install but I cant.
Thanks
 
Hi Cleve,

Let's try some basic troubleshooting. If the problem still persists
please post back and we'll try some more steps. Good luck! :-)

1. Run a virus scan at: http://housecall.antivirus.com Afterwards
Download & Run Spybot from: http://security.kolla.de to find any
Trojans, Adware, or Spyware which could clog up your system.

3. Click My Computer / Rightclick the Drive & Choose Properties
/ Run the "Disk Cleanup..." / Next Click the "Tools" Tab and run
the "Error-Checking" and "Defragmentation" utilities.

4. Test another CD player on your system. Perhaps yours
needs to be cleaned or serviced.

Hey, well thanks for the answer, I made those steps but the problem persists, the same one, I would apreciate more help please.
 
Hi Cleve,

Try copying the CD to your hard drive and install the
game from there. I still suspect the CD or CD drive.
