[SOLVED] C & C 3 not installing

Black Eagle1990 · 05-06-2008, 07:12 PM

Hey,
I recently bought an Asus G1S with Vista Ultimate preinstalled on it. When i try to run the Command and Conquer 3 setup from the legit disk it sets up and then displays a message stating it cannot continue because a .msi file is not present. Is this because of Vista or is the disk at fault? HELP!!

ah lol same thign happened to me.i got a laptop asus 2.4 c2d 3gb ram 8600m gt card. First copy every file on the disk...and paste it into A new folder u can create on ur desktop and paste everyhtign there(around 4 gb). From there click Setup , if installation doesnt work, than delete DirectX folder that was copied...and than try installing again by clickin setup. Somehting to do with direct x.....im pretty sure...

MSI is the extension sometimes used for installation files. Is the disk dirty, as that would stop the PC reading the disc properly and it may have simply failed to detect the relevant file?
