Status: offline 		After burning a copy of my downloaded install file to CD it would not install properly and gave me a compression error on Art files. I used Roxio and Nero software to burn it (I do not do a lot of CD burning). When I installed the program from my downloaded file it worked great. Has anybody else experience this problem? I may have to buy the disk.

Other than patches and a bunch of pictures I do not burn a lot of cds.

Status: offline 		First thing I did after downloading was burn it to CD using Nero. I did the install on this machine from the setup file on my hard drive. After seeing this thread, I stuck the CD with the setup file into my laptop and did an install. No problems seen. If you are burning at max speed, try burning it slower.

Regards,

Status: offline 		Maybe it's an issue of the installer trying to create temp files on the cd? Did you try dragging the installer to the desktop then installing?

Status: offline 		It seems like one of these strange Win issues when installing something from big files on cd. It happens sometimes, that you receive a crc error. It is somehow connected to CD/DVD-Rom speed and IDE controllers. For example I had quite modern CD on the ATA-33 cable (not 80-pin) and received many crc errors during several installations. The only way to handle this was to make an image, mounting it to virtual drive and use the original source after installation.

Regards,
Radzy

Status: offline 		I had some problems as well. I ordered 2 digital downloads. One for my friend who is still held hostage by 56k dialup and would take forever to download it at his house. After the downloads completed, I burned the two images to two different CD-Rs and noted the serial numbers.

Tryning to run the installation on my machine via the CD-R proved fruitless, I kept getting compression failure messages regarding the initial .avi file. So, I ran the installer from the hard drive and it installed flawlessly. I then took the other CD-R to my friend's house and it would not install there either. I kept getting an error message regarding one of the .pdf files and then crc errors. So, I tried to copy the file from the cd to his hard drive and that failed also.

I did eventually get it to work by burning the install file to a slower-speed rated CD-RW disc and made sure it would at least copy the file from that cd to my system. I then took that CD-RW to my friend's house and it installed without a problem....he has been playing it ever since. :)

This was at least a minor annoyance as I had purchased the CD on demand option, so we will be getting the cd for the game in a week or so, but it would have been very frustrating if I could not have gotten the game installed on his system from the digital download. Worked out fine in the end and now we are both playing the game heavily.

Status: offline 		Yep, burning at a slower speed will increase chances of a successful copy. I burn stuff at 12-16 consistently, and have never produced a bad disk in, oh, 4-5 years. Also, I dont multi-task while burning; you never can tell....

Regards,
