    Default Installation Problems (workarounds didn't work)

    Ok. I bought the Empire:TW Special Force Edition. In the beginning I was getting this:
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

    Then I installed Steam from their website. I started to get this note:
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

    I uninstalled Steam, deleted the entry form HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Reinstalled Steam again. Now with the inserting the disc1, I get "select language" dialogue box and, after the selection, it's just freezes.
    I didn't get a chance to play the game, yet I already resent it.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks, mate. I'll try this today after work. My family and neighbours had to listen to me cursing for a long time and very loud.

    It's this crap again:
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 


    Edit.
    Or nothing at all. I insert the disc, and it does nothing.

    Edit2.
    Or I get select language box, and after selection, it freezes and then I get "NO LANGUAGE SELECTED" notification.

    I don't know what to do.

    Oh, I'm so ing angry.

    Ok, they say it is because steam is being blocked by a firewall and can't download the files it needs. Please check out this thread, The last couple page of it is fairly recent, and some people there managed in getting it fixed.

    I'll keep my fingers crossed.

    Oh, God. Nothing helps.
    I do have my Windows and Anti-Virus firewall OFF.
    And although my anti-virus is avast, it's not a free version.

    Do you have the 'Steam.dll' or is it missing. In any case, I'd be happy to email your mine as a replacement. It's less than 3MB. Worth a try?
