What do you mean with "Adminstrator Privalleges? " I dont know how to install it with those admin stuff, I only know how to start a game/application as an adminstrator.

Re: Call of Duty 4 Installation error*

archie123, I read your link and I have some questions if you dont mind!
Quote:
Install the package to a folder that is not encrypted.
Use this method if you receive the error message because you try to install the Windows Installer package to a folder that is encrypted.
what is an encrypted folder?

Quote:
Install the package to a drive that is not accessed as a substitute drive.
Use this method if you receive the error message because the drive that contains the folder that you try to install the Windows Installer package to is accessed as a substitute drive.
And that I have no idea.
Maybe I should try to browse open the CD and run the setup as an adminstrator like you suggested!


Edit: Well I tried to run the setup as an adminstrator, that didnt work well. I recongnized that my screenies wasnt really the best one, here a new one.

heres what microsoft says about error 1305
  • Quote:
    There is a configuration issue with the CD-ROM drive.
  • The MDAC (Microsoft Data Access Components) is damaged or is not installed properly.
  • There is an issue with the CD-ROM media. For example, the program CD-ROM is damaged or dirty.
can you confirm your DVD game disk isnt the problem?

I have no idea, but I installed it before without any problems. And then a friend of mine borrowed it and it was a long time ago, so I wanted to play it once agian, and it didnt work. Should I try to extract all the files?
