I'm getting the following error while tyrin to run the setup:

It comes up after the language selection screen.

Someone in this forum had suggested unchecking read only and hidden options from the program files/common files folder. But that doesn't work either as it checks itself later on...

help me out...

welllll....

Looks like we have the same problem. My computer crashes and restarts every time I attempt to install the game. I also get that error message. Win XP says there's a driver conflict. I've checked all my drivers and they are up to date. Can't quite figure it out either.
