I have been testing some CD's and found that in some cases a "bad CD burn" causes the install to stop and ask for "disk 2 to be installed". There is no "disk 2" and the only way I can find to recover is to test the file from the HD and if it works, burn a new CD. If the install itself is corrupt, you have to download it again.

Paul, I encountered this one as well but I just installed with the same CD from the CDRW and the installation went fine. In my case I have a slower CD and this could have been the problem. Since the CD is not needed for running the game this solution is very practical.
