Problem with Crysis installing.

Tchesco · 07-09-2008, 10:24 AM

When i insert the disc, and start installation, it starts for about 8 seconds and then stops and brings me to this message - THE INSTALLATION SOURCE FOR THIS PRODUCT IS NOT AVAILABLE. VERIFY THT THE SOURCE EXISTS AND THAT YOU CAN ACCESS IT. can anybody tell me why this is happening? isnt the installation source on the disk anyway?

It could be a problem with the Windows Installer service. Follow the instructions here and update to Windows Installer 4.5, then try installing the game again.
