Can't Install game.

Yo,
I can't install the Witcher Enhanced edition off the dvd. The installer starts and in frist few seconds it brings up this
---------------------------
CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS
---------------------------
Failed(-2147024894): The system cannot find the file specified.


---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

if I press ok I can continue on but when i press install it thinks i have no disk space but I do have 400gb. I also have a silly dell made recovery drive which has 10gb.

---------------------------
The Witcher Enhanced Edition - InstallShield Wizard
---------------------------
There is not enough space to install these option(s).
Please free up some disk space or modify your selections.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

I tryed to run it on my laptop which has xp and it works fine.I've also tryed to install it in safe mode and I've ran it as the admin.

I run vistax33 on my pc.
I have 9800x2
Quad core 2.4ghz
4gb of ram

Any help would be great.
Boo

Re: Can't Install game.

Check and see if theres any updates for the game on the website. If not, that game simply might not be able to run on vista
