Vista - Error 1305 when installing Call of Duty 4 with Windows Vista

Merry Christmas :-) Trying to install Call of Duty 4 on my Dell PC with
Windows Vista. Getting an ERROR 1305 message. Have tried cleaning/fixing
registry errors, but same message. My son is anxiously waiting for me to fix
it...any ideas? Thanks!

I have a DVDROM drive and a DVDRW drive. Could that be the problem or
is it just a faulty disc?

I could exchange it with a new copy but DavidinCT also stated that the
problem persists after getting a new copy. What seems to be the
problem?

......
Can someone help us?
I'm having the same problem.
DAMN VISTA

Hey guys, im not sure if this be much help but i had that same problem..

when it came up with the error 1305 asking bout bik files and if you can access them etc, i just explored my cod4 cd and attempted to run the named biks even though i didnt have the correct program to open them, after attempting that i clicked retry on the installation and all seemed to install properly after that... seems like a pointless suggestion it worked for me.. so thougt hey why not share it with you.

hope it works
