I posted this to the Help and Support News Group and got no response, so
maybe I can get it answered here. I'm not sure what happened, but I had to
reinstall MOHAA on my new custom system, and couldn't get it to install ( had
imported it from my old computer--that was not good!). I did a delete from
the control panel, but that didn't work, either. I went to the EA (game
manufacturer) website to
see if there was something I did wrong. I had to do a manual delete from the
registry. Now when I try it, I get nothing. The Install Wizard starts up,
but then nothing happens. Once I got a "catastrophic failure" message. I
tried loading other games from different developers and got "Setup is unable
to run a program needed to proceed with the installation. Restart yoursystem
and try again. Error 105" I have no idea as what to do. I triedrestoring
to a previous state, but that didn't work. I thought it might be
the DVD/CD drive, but it reads other cds with Emails, pictures, etc. I don't
think it is gaming related, rather something I may have done during the
removal of the MOHAA series that messed up the registry or removed a program
from XP associated with the Install Wizard. I might add that I have RTCW
running with no problem and a couple of others, but these wer clean installs
on tthis machine.
