Alright, so i decided to reinstall WaW on my laptop to play some nazi zombies and its taking forever. First it will get stuck at updating component registration, and after around 40mins it will start downloading C:/.. /main/iw_00.iwd which will take around 40mins too and then it will download the next file C:/.. /main/iw_01.iwd all the way up to 20. I left the download alone for 5h 30min and it only got up to C:/.. /main/iw_05.iwd. The funny part is it downloaded fine when i installed it a few months ago on the same laptop and downloading it on my desktop dosen't work either as it still experiences the same problem. Someone please help i don't want to download this game for 3 days straight.

Stop the download and restart your computer. Them try again.
If that doesn't help then your internet may be slow so contact your internet providers. If you are using internet on more than one device it will slow it down so turn internet off On Your other devices.

If you're installing from an optical support and it's THAT slow, it's most probably the support itself, being old or having been stored under bad conditions (too high/low temps, humidity, etc), or in a rarer case the optical device you're using to read it. If you or a friend have one, you can try using an external DVD reader and see if things improve. Try it if, and only if, you or a friend already own such a device, otherwise it'd be best to just re-buy it. Also, you're not "downloading" it like that, you're just installing it 😛

A thing you could try is contacting Steam support and prove them you owned the game. If you're lucky, there might be a very slight chance you can get a copy for free, although saying "slight" is seeing the matter optimistically...

did not have a issue with this game [retail disk] but did look up this update and felt I will remove it also..

thisis like the 3ed update from Microsoft I removed for these kind of reasons

I got 2 outher games that I been fighting to install or had to work hard to get installed and now with this removed I will see if it did a fix on that

ps.. this world at war game is still sold at newegg retail disk for like $20 and don't require nothing like steam or anything to load and play

You're confusing EA with Valve-- ????

what does ea have to do with steam?? ea got to convince you on origin that its not spy ware first in there eula

see the thing is with the retail disk of this game you don't need them at all its yours to load and play no 3ed party involvement at all

see with this game and the retail disk I don't have to take there crap in order to load or play its mine to use as I see fit I don't need to take there mandorty content weather its steam or ea see this game is mine to use not hope I get to use unless they say I can --- get it??

[strike]Sorry to drag up an old thread but I am having the same problem installing WAW, it seems to be stuck at "Updating Component Registration"

I looked for Windows Update KB2918614 but I don't see that anywhere in my list of installed updates?

Windows 8.1 BTW[/strike]

EDIT/ It has finally jumped in to life by itself after about 30mins?!

I do have another problem though, after clicking "Play Multiplayer" or "Play Solo" etc the window just disapears and nothing happens, any suggestions?

if you just bought the retail disk you may not be having to jack around doing like you did -- with it you own the full game on the disk -- no stream no downloads [unless you want more maps and then you still don't have to fool with steam and there malware] nothing just you your computer and the game disk that's all

I got it and don't have any issues just load it and play it

All working now! Just one more question, how on earth did I go from starting rank to rank 65 in 2 games? Back in the day when this game first came out and I played it on console it took weeks to get to rank 65?!!!
