Install Problem | Forums

Hello,
Just got BIA and just after putting in the DVD to install, I get the install panel up, but the messages and icons and buttons have wierd text in them - such as...:

<?int?Setup.IDD_filepagewelcome.IDC_welcomePrompt? >

LOW.GENERAL.NEXT


I can click on the low.general.next button, and sort of get the panel which ask for which drive I want to install to, but it's still mixed up text...!

Then just goes to the BIA folder and thats it..

Any help greatly appreciated..Cheers..

Hi,
Also getting other text like :

?int? setup.idd_filepagewelcome.idc_welcomeprompt?

My PC happily plays HalfLfe 2 and the CODS.
Could this be a problem with the DVD ?
Maybe returning it and swapping for a new one will solve it..?

Any ideas..?
Thnks.

Alright Guys. Yeah I had the same **** problem. Can't believe the game has been released in this state. **** ridiculous. The way I got around this was to copy the whole CD to my hard drive and then install from my hard drive instead of from the DVD CD. Even though I got it installed this way. It STILL won't **** well work due to these NULL ERRORS that are floating around with the game. So much nonsense. Oh and just to let you guys know. I took the game back thinking all the dody text in the install screen must have meant it was a faulty disc. Got another one to try and is exactly the same. Weird as. Kyle.

Yer, Hi guys I get the same problem. Its a joke. All the text is screwed up when you put the disk in. Can anyone help. There is clearly a problem as I am not the only one.

Update your motherboard drivers. This worked for others with same problem.

[drakwk666]

not for me

try getting new firmware for your dvd.

I'm having the same problem. I updated the firmware for my DVD drive, updated the chipset drivers, updated the BIOS and it's still messed up. I was able to do a "network install" from my laptop to my desktop, but this is hardly a fix. Pretty frustrating....anyone find a way around this yet? BTW I have an NEC DVD RW drive, model ND-2500A....is this maybe a Windows driver issue for certain drives??
