Error preventing installation,help please

[Sir Simon de Montfort]

I recently bought a new pc,working on Windows 7,it is very powerful so no problem playing Napoleon Total War etc.
So all ok I thought I'd install my copy of 'Medieval Total War II' the Gold Edition,all ok until about a third of the way through installation then I get this message.

'Feature transfer error'
Feature:English
Component:English Game
File:E:\M2TW\Disk\data2.cab
Error Data Error(cyclic redundancy check)

I can't install game as it aborts after this message,can anybody help me please,as I'm stuck what to do.
This game has been installed without a problem before,any help would be really appreciated,thanks.

A CRC error usually means that the optical drive isn't able to read the disc. Check the disc for scratches or dirt/grime/fingerprints etc. If the disc is just dirty then you can clean it and run the install again. If the disc is scratched then you may have a problem depending on how badly the disc is scratched. Let us know. Good luck!

Thanks very much Polecat for the quick reply,I will clean the disk and report back.This all adds up as I got the same error message from trying to load it on another pc.

CRC error means disk is .

I had the same problem, sometimes it has to do with a corrupt file, (Sometimes the data file is corrupt in the CD) This can be fixed, as i did to mine.
1) Download a demo version of the game
2) Install the demo version (Make sure it is a safe website)
3) Then, install the CD after the demo is installed (Install CD to the same directory path as the demo)
*I had to repeat it twice, but it worked for me.
