I am also getting this problem. Had the game running fine yesterday but ive just reformated my PC and now its giveing me this error, and im also getting the AVG trojan horse popup (thought that seems to be AVG releaseing an update that complains about all Instal .Exe files)

Disconnect from the internet, disable AVG, and run the install process.

It says 'disable virus scanners' for a reason

Do you have a DVD drive, not just a CD drive?

I guess not. best buy quoted me $200 for a dvd-rom and when I looked them up online they were only around $30 why the big jump in price can anyone tell me what kind of dvd-rom I would need and a good place to find one? Thank you.

They're trying to rip you off - a new drive will cost next to nothing these days
