Catastrophic error during installation of Black and White 2

[kaygo]

Hi everyone! I'm new here so please bear with me (this is actually my 1st post).
i bought Black and white 2 because many say its a great game. To my utter dismay, during the installation of the 3rd cd, a message appeared saying "catastrophic error your system has not been modified" I had the cds replaced but the problem occured again at the same spot in the third cd

I am wondering why the first two cds were installed without problem but during that particular spot in the third cd, the catastrophic error pops out.

My specs: Windows XP SP3, Pentium4 2.4 Ghz, P4VMM2, 768 ram, LG DVD-ROM, ATI RADEON 9550 256mb (with latest drivers).

Please please help. Thank you very much in advance

Hi kaygo, welcome to TSF

I found this possible solution at the PlanetBlackAndWhite forum.......... http://www.forumplanet.com/planetbla...78&tid=1775824

Access Denied installation error
If when you trying to install you game and it returns the error:

"Black and white 2 has failed to install. Your system has not been modified. Please re-run the installer to try again.
Error: Access is denied."

You need to do the following, Find a Hard Drive where you have at least 4GB of space free to copy over the 4 cd's of data.

Second make sure that still leaves you 4GB of room to install the game if you using the same hard drive to copy and install.

Make 1 Directory: (X: being the drive your using, C:\ being an example)

X:\BW2_CD (Copy the contents from CD1/2/3/4 here)

Example: C:\BW2_CD

Run Setup.exe from the folder once you have copied all 4 cds.

Note: you will still need CD1 in your CD/DVD Drive to play the game. and you can delete the folders you made with the copies once your install is complete, and now your playing
