Hello.

Not sure if it's a media or program issue, but you can try this.

Put the disc in and allow the error message to pop up, and click OK or continue.

Then, click start>computer>removable storage (your disc), find the install.exe or similar program and try to run it manually.

I hope this helps.

Check with the game makers website for tech support. Occasionally games ship
with "Boo-Boos", but what Joe said should work, open the CD-ROM (don't
double click on it, right click and choose Open), look for a SETUP icon, or
SETUP.EXE. Probably won't be Install.exe, Install is reserved for DOS games.

If that doesn't work, respond here with your SYSTEM SPECS (Sheesh people).
And someone else will chime in.
